Yes.. thus the part where you bolded good sir, where if a woman hit me =p The self defense was implied by that statement, and brought up as the primary reason for the response in kind.
What if a child hit you? Would you knock that the hell out too? It's called being the bigger man and not being a pussy.
Thing is, these days, a woman isn't necessarily going to lose. We are faster, lighter (some say meaner) and can get some serious acceleration into our punches.
This is the cause of much wailing and consternation. Especially if you've ever lived in the less salubrious parts of South London. What happens is this:- I'm walking to the shop for a pint of milk at 1am (because I feel like it that's why) some drunken twat tries it on and grabs hold of me, I hit him and he loses some teeth. One time I recall he got whatever I was holding in his eye.
I never get so much as a broken fingernail, but any drunken prat who sexually assaults me is going to be in need of minor, but inconvienient, medical treatment and the hospitals round there are horrible at the best of times.
And I don't know where everyone else is living, but where I come from the police always charge the winner. This means six months of
getting up early once every six weeks until it gets thrown out. That's the bit that really pisses me off
Like many fe,ales of my generation I was taught to be afraid of guys, and taught that I could never win a fight with one. My first Hippy boyfriend said that was all rubbish and told me if the guy was bigger, 'just go for the knees, it's always the weak point in a big guy'. Then later a few martial arts expert boyfriends taught me some actual technique.
You appear to be an old-school gentleman, SOAD, (or lady) and that is to be commended. However, so long as Elugrim was proportionate in his response, the law would have no problem with him defending himself and neither would I. If you wish to extend special treatment to a lady - well I have learned to be gracious about it, it is appreciated but it is not really necessary.
I wanted equality. I got it. You can have some too, it's OK

Oh and you know what I think when I see 'Tittiecoin'? I don't so much feel unwelcome as 'on familiar ground'. This would not be your usual response from a woman, I realise that, but I learned early on in life that 'boy's toys' were vastly superior that pink rubbish foisted on little girls. When I see the guys all huddled together Up To Something I know it is something fun they are keeping to themselves. 'Tittiecoin' looks to me like a 'girls - keep out of bitcoin!' sign. Many women would see that on their first visit here and think 'oh, bitcoin isn't for me it's just for teenage jerks'.
Also, if we want the adult industry, which is largely female and independent these days, to take us seriously - something mysterious and exotic sounding would be easier to market than 'Tittiecoin'.
