It depends on you and your opponents physique so every situation has it's own appropriate response. If anyone is violent with anyone but you're bigger and stronger then you should just restrain and walk away. If it's someone bigger then restraining won't work and fighting back for survival is the only way. And more often than not men are stronger and bigger so women would have to fight back 'cause it's impossible to restrain 🤷♀️

The simple fact is, the sex of the assailant and the victim is entirely irrelevant, relative sizes and strengths are what matter.

Only in such cases of course. In cases where the woman is bigger and/or stronger than the man, he would have to fight back because it would impossible to restrain.The simple fact is, the sex of the assailant and the victim is entirely irrelevant, relative sizes and strengths are what matter.

Guess you didn’t read the rest of my response 🙄.. which is why I said if ANYONE is violent with ANYONE @suzie1960

@SW-User I read it all and I agree. I was just pointing out that the relevant factor is not the sex of the parties.

Which is exactly what I meant when I said ‘anyone’ but the last statement is a generalised fact that most men are stronger than women @suzie1960

@SW-User The problem in that some people allow the general case to override the specific. In general men are stronger than women so some people say that no man, no matter how weak, need defend himself from a woman, no matter how strong she be. Obviously you're not one of those people.
It's ironic that sexists ignore the very factors that they use to try to justify their sexism.
