This obsession with insisting on being powerful could exactly stem from insecurity and weakness imo, which reminds me of little kids who insist on wearing their clothes themselves to tell us they are not kids anymore.
We were talking about solving problems with your fists first of all hence why all of this came up. If a guy helps me out in a gentlemanly fashion I would never say no. I don't see what all of this has to do with insecurity however. In fact I think that's a very narrowed minded point of view and I think you missed the point all together. I am very accustomed to taking care of myself. It's always the way that I have always been because it is the way I was brought up. I don't shout it from the rooftops neither do I have an obsession with being powerful. It's just different cultures and differences in the way we were brought up. I could look at women of the East as weaklings because they seem to need a man to do everything for them but I don't. I also never said I would never need a man's help because that would be a lie. However what I was saying is that there are times we can handle ourselves. The bar scene would have been one of those times and in such a case the entire fist fight might have been avoided on the whole had she just stood up for herself or just got up and walked away.

So what you're suggesting is that walking away from the problem altogether is preferable to doing what is necessary, even if the necessary act happens to be a mildly violent one?

I have yet to get into a bar fight and I deal with morons all the time. Maybe I am just better at handling things than some people...
Additionally I have to ask, for those times that the bfs aren't around or for those girls without bf...what do you expect us to do? Call daddy every time a man is not around?

I used to joke that any artificial intelligence developed in a research lab would have to be male, because a female version would make no friggin' sense and would be impossible to emulate. :devil:
They're all different, sometimes the individuals differ minute to minute. So assuming generalizations based on your own beliefs is pointless. You'll just go blue in the face. You just have to accept their opinions and move on.
