I find it's usually men who say this tho in a kindly attempt to empathise with how it might feel to be a woman. It's how they would feel if they were suddenly so much weaker than so many people. It's how they do feel if surrounded by men much bigger than them. Women? Not so much. https://twitter.com/OlGingerBastard/status/954317245370519553 …

Most of the time, we simply go about our lives taking reasonable precautions and assuming that men are not going to harm us & that if one tries to, that other men will intervene. This is nearly always a fair assumption.

That isn't necessarily true. For real, kicking a dude in the balls really hard is an option that women should think about more.
-
As a last resort yes. Still very risky.
-
Why a last resort?
-
Because he could block you and then beat the crap out of you because he has a strength advantage.
-
Isn't the context that he's already trying to beat the crap out of you? Otherwise, you're the aggressor.
-
Yes, that's what my point was. Its acceptable when the other options of avoiding the dangerous situation, not being alone in it or escaping it are not available.

Oh yes. Of course it happens. Just as men can be verbally spiteful. There are strong gender differences here tho. And sometimes a physical fight that ends can be less devastating than psychological warfare that goes on and on. My teenage daughter was noting this difference.

Here in NZ we have a rising issue with violent girls and young women. Its becoming more common place. thoughts?

Not really, no. Have not read much on this.

Yes it's best to try to avoid being in a bad situation and getting away as soon as possible.

Another thought is, if a woman physically attacked me, I would very likely use the minimum force necessary. If I attacked a much bigger and stronger man, I would expect to have my head properly kicked in.

I'm insane. If they don't kill me outright, I'll win.
