I know women kill men sometimes but you know damn well we're talking in aggregate on macro levels. Isolated examples don't change the demographic realities. Nobody should hit anyone. And self defense should be contextualized to the situation. And if it is a woman who happens to be smaller than you, don't hit her, no matter what she does, unless you absolutely have to to prevent serious injury. defend yourself another way or leave. I don't dislike the cultural taboo against hitting women because of our violence against women problem. Like I said, lets focus more on that since men already hit them way too much.
Dont hit anyone.
Good example in the story. The last real fight I got into was over my 20 year old neighbor kid attacking his pregnant girlfriend of all things, while I was outside playing frisbee with the kids. I screamed at him I'd call the police. He freaked out, took his shirt off and ran into my yard. I don't consider myself any sort of a bad ass but I boxed for a while in highschool and have been in a few scuffles. Anyway, he was about 8 years younger but a few inches taller. But for a brief moment I was Dan Henderson. A single right hand was all I threw and he collapsed to the ground. I ended up breaking his jaw and he required surgery. Left in an ambulance on a stretcher. Despite this, thankfully I had witnesses. I wasn't even cuffed. He left in an ambulance and I went inside. Normally it doesn't work that way. She wouldn't press charges so he skated on that, but it was hilarious reading the police report. I swear the officer who wrote it literally dead panned numerous disses against the kid in the report.
My children thought I was superman and my wife was extra aroused by such an overt display. I only wish my neighbors had their phones out for my world star hiphop glory.
