The job's a tough role, bud. You're going to be asked to serve under someone who checks their pants when asked about "open ports". :P
Personally, I'd run an end-around on them. Go over her head. Talk to her supervisors, explain the need for discretion and the fact you don't trust her judgement and offer up point-form, easy-to-digest examples of how she almost screwed the pooch in the past. If they're not horribly tech-savvy, you may have to sugar-coat or create a synopsis. Do what it takes to illustrate her faults, nicely, and the rest should be gravy.
As for women... pfft, yeah. As if we'll figure that out for you! :P Seriously, tho... some folks like hard numbers and then thrive off the success / flail about when presented with failure. Others go with the flow. It's a matter of "can I deal with her not being able to deal immediately" in my mind.
Best of luck, man. You know where I am if you need me.
