with regards to men easily being able to avoid/restrain women, what a load of shit. i know of a few guys who are regularly beaten up by their girlfriends. we are all different shapes and sizes and some small seemingly weak people are amazingly strong. i was the victim of an ugly assault at a party in tilly when i was about fifteen. i was sitting in a chair a bit worse for wear when this little tiny skanky psycho came in screaming, scratching, kicking, punching the shit out of me. i couldn't do nothing for the shock. i was a right mess. turns out she thought i was someone else and was terribly sorry. she bought me a present to say sorry, so it wasn't all bad:gringo:
