re: Is it a woman's responsibility to avoid being beaten?

I've managed to go 34, almost 35 years only getting in 1 fight. And that one fight I was in, yeah I was fanning the flames. The guy attacked me. Yeah it was still his fault for attacking me but had I kept my mouth shut, it wouldn't have happened. I don't see why this concept is hard to grasp.

I don't recall one instance in which I was just walking down the street, carrying myself like a civilized human being and someone just beat the crap out of me. When I behaved like a degenerate human being, that's when I was more at risk for getting into a physical altercation.

Lesson learned. If everyone behaves like a civilized human being, men and women, the likelyhood of these types of issues occuring will be minimized.
