Words to "live" by. No question in my mind about women being a viable threat. As a former Sheriff's Deputy, it is amazing how violent and difficult a woman can become in situations. Generally they are not as physically strong as men (only a generality ladies) but when push come to shove, men tend to escalate up the continuem ladder where women can go from 0 to 60 in .00001 seconds. There is a reason you should respect momma bears!

"I can run faster scared than you can mad!" One of my favorite quotes.. from the out of print book, "the long ships" by Frans Gunnar Bengtsson... "He was running for his life, but, I was running for it too, and I guess I wanted it more than he did." I can't remember the exact words, but its something like that he he he

Daddy was a Vietnam era drill Sgt. I heard a lot of good funny quotes about combat. My 2 favs, "Don't threaten a man unless you know he knows you can kick his ***" and "Don't go into a fight armed with anything that won't comfortably fit in your ***" LOL

If someone is trying to kill you, does it matter if they are male or female? Isn't it just a matter of conditioning?
As far as I'm concerned, they would just be The Enemy.

I am not trying to be sexist and feel free to tell me that I am, but most men have been raised with the premise that you dont hit a woman. It took a few ugly lessons as a deputy to learn or unlearn what kind of dangers women can bestow. Even now, lessons learned and all, for a split second, I hesitate. Could be the death of me, but that is what is deep in my core. Facing a man, there is not so much as a nanosecond of hesitation if the situations were all equal. Guess it is all that western gentleman upbringin'
