Bottom line,
It's a MANS world, and it always will be!
It may not be the end all do all for the average male, but I'm reminded of an episode of "Cops" where a pre-school girl got away from a kidnapper, and probably saved her own life, with nothing more than a swift kick. She's still alive because someone cared enough to teach her how to protect herself in the real world. The children of Susan Smith and Andrea Yates are dead because no one bothered to teach them how to disable an attacker who happens to be female. Maybe you can disable a woman who attacks you now, but could you have stopped one when you were 6?
Should a woman try this on me (or any other virile American Male) She might quickly start wondering why her lips are numb and her vision fading and why that 270 pound MALE is holding her off the ground by her throat....
And you may be wondering why you're in jail when the woman attacked you. Of course by law everyone has the right to defend himself against an attack, but the judicial system, made up mostly of men, haven't caught up to the fact that this applies even when the woman is the attacker.
