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!

One of my favorite quotes.. from the out of print book, "the long ships" by Frans Gunnar Bengtsson...

I can't remember the exact words, but its something like that laugh

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 crazy

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'
