Of course she isn't defenceless. But she does have "damsel in distress" moment with the bubble where she basicly goes "Oh help me good sir knight! I'm trapped in this bubble" that and the fainting makes her the damsel in ME1 even through doesn't last through out the entire game (and thank god for that!).
Yeah, I'd say that BW intended for the player to get a Damsel in Distress vibe from meeting and rescuing Liara, but I think that when you analyse it, it is actually entirely averted. Liara became trapped in the Prothean bubble not because she's weak or incompetant, and wanted to hide away, but because she was quickly being overwhelmed by a krogan battlemaster and an entire geth platoon. No way she could have survived with those odds stacked against her. So, she did the smart and logical thing by attempting to defend herself through protection via the technology. Of course, she then made a mistake and found herself in the situation Shepard and the squad discovers her in. None of it is because she's weak, though.
You want a true damsel in distress? Try Princess Peach. She's most definitely a poor, defenseless damsel in distress!
