I get chivalry and all, but I don't want a girl that's gonna scream in the corner watching me get strangled to death by some invader when there's a perfectly good vase right there to smash over their head

George Harrison's wife saved his life when someone broke in to murder him

On December 30, 1999, George and Olivia were attacked by a deranged man who broke into Friar Park.[39] George went downstairs after hearing noises. Moments later, George returned, followed by the intruder, and was stabbed multiple times. Olivia attacked the assailant with a fireplace poker and a heavy table lamp,[40] and he turned on her. After the local police arrived and detained the intruder, the Harrisons were treated for their wounds at a hospital. The man was quoted as saying he was on a "mission sent by God,” and that the Beatles were "witches.”[41][42] The home invasion was a front-page news story around the world, with some headlines recognising Olivia as having "saved" her husband.[43][nb 3] The attack followed the arrest of a female stalker who had broken into the Harrisons' Maui home on December 23.[46] In a 2005 interview, Olivia said of the December 30 incident: "I remember everything about it, every millisecond. I was terrified, but it is one of those things that you just do in a heightened state of awareness so that you can never really forget any of it."[3]

I saw a barfight once where a woman and her boyfriend started fighting, some good Samaritan guys intervened, and the man and woman started fighting the good Samaritans.

The guy naturally may have been more of the classic threat but the woman was a fucking wildcat. A big guy bear hugged her to get her away from the guys fighting. The guys swung and postured and got a few smacks in before they broke it up.

In the end the only person who drew blood in the fight was her.

You know? I've heard a lot of cases like that, also in schools, when boys fight (unless they're ganging up on someone) it's usually some flexing and a couple punches. When girls fight it's when the shit gets real.

I used to work security at a variety of bars and pubs and trust me it's the women who are far more deadly. My theory was that they're taught to always hold it in while guys let it out constantly. Get a few drinks in them, piss them off and look the hell out. It's the torn off hoop earrings that really stuck with me.

Same reasons why you should watch out for the quiet ones. The ones that suppress their true emotions. When they finally let it out, boy do they let it out.
