Gyrre:
I'd introduce you to my mother for some better context, but I'm pretty sure she'd get herself and me (by virtue of association) kicked off of the forums in about a day.
Renée is a hell of a lot like my mother right down to the belittling (just liberal instead of conservative).
EDIT: Either that or I'm just reading too much into her character. But the similarities still hit awfully close to home.

I think you may have nailed it. We really haven't seen a lot of Renee's personality in the comic. The few traits we have seen may be the same as those in a real person you know (e.g. your mother), but that doesn't mean that Renee's whole personality is the same. I just think it's a little early to make that kind of call with her.

Bubbles is actually another great example of what I was talking about - a capable and well-liked female who is not held in contempt for being capable.

Which happens a lot with a lot of people. It's a compliment to Jeph's characterization (and a complication for the moderators) that his characters often remind people strongly of someone in their own lives.
Emperor Norton:
Do people really think physically threatening a stranger over the phone isn't asshole behavior?
