I will say this. I knew a little woman once who would get in the face of those so-called ‘dark side’ men all the time. Called it opening a can of feminine whup-ass. She thought she could intimidate men so thoroughly she was perfectly safe. I told her that only works as long as the men want to play along. When men decide to drop the civilized veneer and go with the natural thing, she’s screwed.
But there are plenty of women willing to whack somebody over the head with a barstool if he’s beating up her guy.
“She thought she could intimidate men so thoroughly she was perfectly safe. I told her that only works as long as the men want to play along.”
LOL I have seen that, especially in cowboy bars where two deadly guys will get flustered if a female owner or bar maid starts dressing them down.
Those women know men and how to work a crowd, but I have seen those same women lose that confidence when in a setting where they weren’t so sure of the nature of the group.
