Accepted Answer

イ いさ, たけ, たけし 権威(けんい): authority; power; influence威力(いりょく): power; might; authority; influence威張る(いばる): to be proud; to swagger S 戌: sign of the dog; 7-9PM; eleventh sign of Chinese zodiac女: woman; female 女 3 (none) intimidate Interesting that this kanji also has the meanings of "dignity" and "threaten." I can see how a march of women in Japan would be seen as intimidating by most men.
