    I walk the highway between them?

    Exactly bollocks.

    Why, exactly?

    'Hard' isn't just about being physically strong or capable. Hard is about having the bottle to go as far as it takes to get the job done, be that climbing a mountain, or stopping someone from sexually assaulting you. The young lass I saw was much smaller than the bloke who was harassing her. He would almost certainly have battered her in a 'straight fight'. So, she resorted to extreme tactics, to resolve the situation. Maybe a bit too extreme, but no-one had any sympathy for her 'victim'. He thought he could intimidate her, and take liberties, but he didn't count on how 'hard' she was.

    In fact, the greater the obstacle, the harder the person who overcomes it.

    Read the Petesgaff thread. That's 'Hard'.

    Hard is also about walking away when its the right thing to do, even tho every fibre of your living being is telling you to kick the shit out of someone

    If you need to kill or critically injure someone to "win" a fight or situation then you aren't hard – you are very stupid and out of control.

    A court (and let's face it, that's where these situations end up) would look very dimly on someone that's killed or permanently injured someone for no good reason. Of course if someone is GENUINELY in mortal danger, the "rules" are different but glassing someone for being a bit of a tw4t is totally OTT and rather retarded.

    I should think that woman is now serving time inside? That's not very clever.

    Working a door also results in aggro a fair bit.

    Not if you do it properly it doesn't.

    Surf Mat;

    Apparently the guy had trapped her in a corner, and was molesting her. She'd asked him to stop. He didn't. She glassed him. Fair enough, I say. But have you ever smashed a glass in someone's face because they were sexually assaulting you? I haven't. A bit OTT, for me, but then I'm not a 5'2" 8 stone girl being molested by a 6' 13 stone+ bloke. I'd imagine it took quite a bit of courage for her to take such drastic action.

    The bloke was dragged away by some others, the girl and her friends left, police didn't turn up, so I'd imagine nothing further happened as a result. I don't blame here; a nasty sexual bully got his just deserts imo.

    As for the 'hard' bit; the fact that she fought back against overwhelming odds marked her out as being tough, and courageous.

    Elfin – that's a bit different to the initial story – more serious. In which case, fair enough.

    Glassing is OK? WTF

    Knee in the knackers would have had the same effect. She should be banged up.

    had many srteet scraps

    Well Mat I was going to make a quip about not being at all surprised by this 😉 but then I started thinking – why have I never been in a street fight? Or even in a situation where a fight might ensue?

    Ok, tell a lie – the only time I have was when riding through Caerleon a few months back. There's a one way system that goes around the back of the castle walls – the road is very narrow single track but takes a lot of cars. I was doing a bit over 20mph and it's only a bout 400 yards long, so no big deal to wait behind me. Some guy squeezed past far too close, and I made an annoyed sign – didn't flip him off or swear or shout. He then stopped and wound the window down to shout abuse. I braked, got off my bike, tossed it aside and stood there ready to square up, but a (young and much "tougher" looking) chap behind just laid on his horn to say 'stop being such a cock' and he drove off.

    That could've led to a confrontation, but I doubt it'd have ended up in a fight since I really wasn't going to look for one.

    Cynic-Al;

    So, she goes to knee him, it doesn't work, he batters her in retaliation. She had the glass in her hand, he had her in a corner, she did the only thing she knew guaranteed to stop him.

    As for the ethics and morals; I'm on her side. No-one should ever put their hand on another in such a sexual way, if it's not consensual. Imagine if it was your lady in her position, and she did exactly the same thing. Would you want her banged up?

    Anyway, I'd like to drop this now. Wish I'd not mentioned it tbh.

    I had a fight at school once – I think it was a draw.

    I've not even come particularly close to having a fight as a grown up. The ones I see are usually caused by people who claim to be level headed "stepping in to help". Causes the other guys mates to "step in and help" which then leads to a stand off.

    I think it's very rare that anyone has to be involved in a fight that doesn't want to be..
    As a responsible adult and a coward I choose quite vehemently and ferociously NOT to get into physical fights..

    Junkyard – what is your point? Uni scraps all involved (without exception) defending lairy mates

    Yes you get into multiple scraps all over the place that you admit to enjoying and not one of them has anything to do with how you acted as you were simply defending the honour of people like a modern day Knight with a similar chivalrous code.
    Oddly I managed to survive Wales as a student and nights out with family members and friends without fighting anyone [ if only my Mum could say the same thing and I wish I was joking].
    So either you are a pathetic individual with trawling tendencies – see other forums you left for example- with the need to prove your manliness by beating up someone else because you are trying to compensate for something or you are just very unlucky and really just a knight in shining armour defending the weak.

    Well Matt doesn't realise why he annoys people on here, so perhaps the same is true in real life?

    Remember the immortal words of Kenny Rogers and the "Coward of the County" lads…

    Well that song ends with the guy dishing out a beating anyway, thus reinforcing the idea that violence is good anyway, and thereby rubbishing its own message.

    However there's it's one thing talking about scrapping and sharing wisdom/info, but it's another thing actually "threatening" people on the internerd – that's really sad.

    We must all remember we are sat in front on computers. Sometimes you can tell when someone "knows" (U31 and a few others do) what they are talking about but most of the time it's just some words written on a geeky forum.

    I'm tempted to post a pic but I won't 😉

    Just because it's a sexual assault does not justify "she did the only thing she knew guaranteed to stop him."

    What if she had a gun rather than a glass?

    You are too right-on for words, just like most male feminists.
