I’ve never been in a fight but I’ve found them to be pretty exciting (though I probably shouldn’t), I’m sure in this vast wasteland at least one of you guys have been in or at least seen at fight so share the details!
I know I am incredibly late, but I figured I would share anyway.
It always amused me how a lot of guys in my neighborhood looked down on me because I was a girl. They either thought that because I was 4'11 and not very strong that I was not worth fighting or I was a dainty damsel who needed to be protected. Obviously, they hadn't heard the common saying that short people have short fuses and can have more attitude and sass then a 6 foot giant!
When I was in middle school, my mom would always make me play outside with my little brother. The only other kids who played outside were all boys around my brothers age, so we often played mock gun battles and pretended to be Star Wars characters. There was one boy, my age, but he was a total dick. We avoided each other and gave each other the bird whenever we saw each other, but one day his older brother saw our nice little exchange.
His older brother first punched the crap out of him, then came after me. I was already backing up and trying to decide how fast I could run for my house at the end of the cul-de-sac, but unfortunately he was standing in the middle of the street, and I was scared that if I tried to run past him things would not go well. Of course, unlucky me didn't know that he was notorious for getting into fights and had threatened to kill people, which the family had declined to mention when they moved in, and apparently they had moved in the first place because no schools in the district they were in would allow him to enroll.
Anyways, long story short, the brass curtain rod I used as a staff came in very handy that day! The family moved away after that incident, and nothing like that happened again in the neighborhood.
Moral is, don't underestimate petite women, we have a tendency to be extremely perseverant.
