I altered my masterpiece accordingly.
It isn't the same anymore, the magic is all gone but well ... the things I do for Subsim.

Almost feel like I could write a book on the subject, based on professional real life experiences.

Always felt more at ease dealing with a male rather than a female and I do recall the female was more likely to use some sort of an object/instrument to assist them in their efforts.

you're absolutely correct.

they like to use tools to assist them in their efforts, i have noticed they are particularly fond of things they can swing at you or more often throw at you

:rotfl2:

I do recall from my criminal justice classes that often a domestic dispute the female will sometimes attack officers when the husband/boyfriend are being put into custody.

Ain't love grand
 

:sign_yeah: U show up at an on-base domestic disturbance: HE: fingernail gouge wounds from the eye sockets to the collar bones...SHE: at least one black eye, possibly bleeding lips, loose teeth; both under age 25- subsidized housing, always four upset kids, all under age six watching...Injuries not fatal?: mutual combat declared; screeching notwithstanding-two sides to every conflict; B impartial: 'do not distress the kids further with handcuffs to either parent'....Either one with the wallet holding the family's only $300- limit credit-card goes to the local Motel 6 NOW! (breathing space and cool-down for all combatants) or it's Captain's Mast and loss of job-dishonorable discharge, home and income in the AM if I file a formal report...(firsttime offenders only):shifty: In the San Francisco/Oakland 'hood' subsidized housing, where I tended not to blend in, it was considerably worse. And I hate Rat Tail Combs at close quarters:03: and no options: they ain't got no credit card! http://demandware.edgesuite.net/sits...m=fit&sfrm=png

And it was still your fault.....

Wife 1.0
 

Was highly prone to using violence to get her way or get her point across with exclamation.
She would start arguments over long past issues and punctuate it with a fist to my chest. My response? "Did you hurt your hand?" :haha:
Saw her give one of her friends a sound thrashing over not paying the friend $20.00 she owed the girl. The girl started it and I just watched. The friend then spent more money to send a group of thugs to my home to collect. They took the debt out of my tires. All four of them, punctured and flattened into uselessness. :-?
That woman deserved to be beaten to a pulp on too many occasions but, thankfully, my mother taught me better than to raise my fists in anger with a female of any stripe. Considering how the courts treat physical altercations between men and women these days, it's best to just bite your lip and walk away.
I had an aunt who was married to a rather small fellow and I've witnessed her chase him down sit on him and beat him bloody for a half hour.:o

Well, next time he will not get into her Gin. :nope:

:haha: Not me, that's for sure!!:oops:

Jim, GR, Warhawk, Aktung, I'm there with all of you. Too much of it over the years.

That's why I bought the wife a 16" cast iron skillet to do most of her cooking in, she can barely lift it, let alone swing it. ;)

Aside from that slapped face, so far I've only witnessed girl-on-girl

Rgr that and a quick example.

Called to attend a house disturbance late one evening. On arrival at the front door (lower half timber, upper half glass 'totally smashed in'). No response to repeated knocking and announcing loudly who we were (my partner and I), heard screams so forced an entry and on climbing the stairs viewed an adult male and female in the kitchen. The female who was quite emotional and upset was wearing a nightdress that was tattered and torn and the male was holding a 10" blade carving knife in his left hand but not displaying any aggression or obvious intent on using it.

Went into 'broken record' routine "Put the knife down before anyone gets seriously hurt."

Male looked as if he was willing to cooperate so took a step toward him and in an instant the female attacked my partner shortly followed by the male who started to raise the knife but not necessarily in a threatening manner.

What ensued was a little ugly but the main point being nobody suffered further injury.
