Had an incident nearby, some Karen went off screaming, yelling and then cut the car off forcing it off the road. Guy followed her home, she stepped out of the safety of her vehicle. Kept yelling etc..apparently she got free with her hands and was knocked out for her trouble. All on video so no charges. There was a time a man would go to great lengths to not hit a woman. Those days are long gone, slap a man and you will get knocked on your ass. It is a whole different level of stupid to threaten a man with a gun especially in Red States.
My wife is the same...............
Sadly, I think this is true.
I am of that generation. When I was growing up, it was considered dishonorable and unmanly for a man to strike a woman, even if she was the aggressor (such as in a domestic situation).
But it was also a time when women tended to be more ladylike in general, which prompted men to be more chivalrous and protective of them. A woman being threatened on a city street in say, 1975, would immediately have a dozen men come to her rescue. These days, a lot of men would just keep walking and pretend not to notice. Maybe that's a reflection on their manhood or maybe they are so jaded that they figure the woman deserves what is coming to her.
Back then, it was unheard of for a woman to engage in road rage, give a strange man the finger or get in their faces like many of them do today. Nowadays, many of them do it with impunity.
You are correct in warning your daughter of the dangers of enraging a stranger such as in a road rage incident. Unless she is willing to fight and defend herself - which I don't recommend - she should keep her eyes straight ahead and mind her own business. Even as a man, I will not escalate a potential road rage situation as you have no idea who you are dealing with. Much better to get out of the way, let the person go around you, and avoid eye contact.
but they can beat up all the guys in the movies!
