I feel quite sure that threre are exceptions, like having to defend yourself, not all women are wilting flowers, (think Anne Wolfe) some are more then capable of doing some serious damage, especially if they're really pissed off or fucked up on drugs or alcohol.

I've never had it happen, but if a woman hauled off and hit me, or tried to kick me in the nuts, it would take a lot of self restraint not to retaliate. Having said that, I hope that I never have to strike a female, even in self-defense there's just something terribly wrong about that.
