    In self defence? I'm a 5ft 4in guy who's 60kgs so there's little risk of me doing damage to the average woman who might try and attack me. Meanwhile, if you're 6ft, then that's a different story.

    If someone comes at me and is obviously preparing to do damage they'll get a couple of fast cracks, regardless of gender, so yes. And at 6' 2'' and nearly 17 stone, they will feel it.

    If I'm in immediate danger or someone I care for is in such danger?
    Then yep, genitals matter not a whit tbh.

    If you ever feel the need to raise your hand to a woman, you just walk away and let the two of you cool off.

    You really need a hobby!!!!!!!!!!!!! have you tried trainspotting/baking banana bread/walking the dog/just having a good old toss ?

    I think it is specific to a woman.

    Yes, I know. And in this hypothetical case of this specific woman coming at me with intent to do violence, she's going down.

    Is this completely hypothetical? Or have you upset some woman and she is coming at you with a hammer/chainsaw/baseball bat/Katana? You need hobbies. Have you tried Heroin?

    Change woman to 12 year old child. It's a bit of a silly notion. There really isn't a need to get medieval on their ass, unless tooled up 999/1000 females haven't got the ability to do damage. Plus they always make a fist by grabbing their thumbs, what's that about?

    Edit - I read somewhere on my many studies on violence that a woman needs to be 33% heavier than a man to have a chance going toe to toe everything else being equal. If the OP for example is of average body makeup, yer looking at a woman being 80kg to have a chance. She also needs to have similar or better body composition.

    First they came for the socialists...

    I don't know what the thumb-grabbing is about, but I'm talking about a woman who is at least intent on doing damage, and probably capable of it. 12-year-old children are neither here nor there.

    You do know the OP? We all complain however a lot of their threads gain a fair bit of traction.

    I'm saying a 12 year old child has as much a chance in doing me damage as the vast majority of women. I'm not discounting females as not dangerous however it ain't going to work for them toe to toe.

    You missed the reference to Pulp Fiction.

    Argh! I was thinking of it but somehow missed your reference:o

    Had Patrick Nevin listened to that advice or had someone told the other african lad about the scissors sisters.

    OP, there are women out there that will devastate you. You need to tool up

    Perhaps place a weapon in the hands of her?
    A knife needs to penetrate a very short distance to cause serious damage.
    Any kind of weapon is a danger.

    As for the woman needing to be a certain size/weight/strength to be a danger?

    I know a guy who's seemingly lovely delicate and "petite" Mrs has broken his ankle aswell as causing numerous other injuries that needed medical intervention.
    Without weapons for the most part(unless you count the high heels he was nearly blinded with once)

    If someone, regardless of gender wants to attempt to inflict violence?
    They should not feel surprised if their victim decides to defend themselves.
    Nor should their victim be shamed by being labelled a "woman-beater"

    As for plans, reactions and civility?
    Quite often, once you get punched in the face, they are all forgotten about until the aftermath.

    No, it is not going to work for them toe-to-toe, because I don't have any misplaced notions of nobility and will put someone back on their arse very fast if they attack me, regardless of what they use to piss with. In my experience the sort of woman who would physically attack you isn't worth bothering about anyway.

    Nah, and besides there are other means of self-defence besides leaving yourself open to being charged with assault.

    Weapons involved and the situation is different. I'm not advocating taking a softly softly approach. If someone does violence they have no justification in being surprised if it comes back in spades.
    Do we know the same people?!!

    Same people? As in the injured party?
    Could well be possible.

    My man was attacked by the missus with a brush while trying to put down a baby, ended up in a tussle after he had put the baby in the cot. The two of them ended up in the bathroom and fell into the bath, he done damage to his ankle. Attacked him in his sleep with a heel another time.

    Different guys then, tho this particular specimen has often waited until he was holding one of the kids to launch into him. :(
    Or waking him at 3/4a.m to commence screaming at him and throwing stuff or hitting him.

    Hope your friend is doing ok.

    I remember an incident many many years ago at house party, very drunk girlfriend of a friend tried to stab him with a knife, or more tried to hit at him with the knife, he pushed her away and she falls hitting her arm off table, starts howling crying, her friends rush in to see girl crying on ground and they start attacking the guy going nuts, cops are called and guy is taken to station.

    So lets say a woman tried to stab you, as unlikely as this maybe, or indeed if a 14 year old did and you bury them with a punch and their are no witnesses and the cops arrive and there is an injuried woman/kid and you standing there without a scratch claiming the crying girl/child is a loon....it's not gonna end well for you.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 55 ✭✭maherhonda


    Depends really, If a female tried to attack me with a knife or hammer or something like that obviously would do whatever it takes so definitely would hit a women in those circumstances.

    If they had no weapon I would just restrain them.

    OP is the most curious person I've encountered on Boards...

    Next question - Have you ever wanted to have sex with an animal?

    The morning after a lady called me an animal, right before referring to herself as a slut, does that count?

    A lady....sure...just because you put a dress on a roadkill badger doesn't make it a lady

    Anyone who grew up with older sisters must have hit a member of the fairer sex and gotten a good few thumps in return.
    It was absolute hidings in my house growing up.

    It depends if the women had balls, she'd probably have male level's of testosterone aswell. So she could inflict plenty of damage. Self defence would be justified. Didn't Jordans cross dressing x beat up someone before, she "the X" was build like a tank.

    Transvestism isn't Transexualism ;)

    Jordan's ex? I assume you mean the cage fighter Alex Reid?
    Who enjoys cross dressing but is not transgendered.
