Yeah, no real threat indeed

I understand men are just as violent but ruling out female violence completely is rather one-sided.
Women are violent if not just as violent as men, you just don't hear much about women beating up men as much as vice versa.
How the social system works:
You get hit by a girl and beaten the shit up because you refused to fight you get mocked.
You retaliate and hit a girl back you get mocked for hitting a girl.
No matter the situation it always ends up with the man being mocked more than the female.

Slapped my head when I read this - you didn't read what I actually wrote. You know, when I was writing my posts I purposely put in all these qualifications so people like you wouldn't respond with this.

I said women who are unarmed generally aren't a threat.

You are taking Ele's point out of context. I am pretty sure that men are much more likely to do lifting in the gym and to be stronger because of this as well as bigger (generally men prefer woman who are shorter than them) and more experienced in rough physical interaction in a sort of play fighting way. Although women are dangerous, they tend to appear much less threatening when unarmed. It is acceptable to playfully punch a guy in the arm but a girl will tend to complain, this is a result if social conditioning and stuff but just because the cause is unnatural doesn't mean the effect (guys being better fighters) is any less real.
Nevertheless, in contexts where you are defending your self, the gender of the aggressor really doesn't matter.

Ele, the problem in generalizing everything about it is just that it wont work good on real life. Like if a man get hit by a woman who really represents a threat to his physical condition (taller, thicker, mma figher, armed, whatever) and he responds to it, by your logic he stills wrong because generally women does not represent a threat to men, so we wouldn't care if that reaction was actually balanced.
By showing specific cases where women assaulted men Panda is showing that each case must be analysed so that we can get a better understanding, if it was a legitimate defense or if the guy just used (or tried to) it as a shield to hit a woman.
Adding something, it's still a fact that men tend to get more physical, not because its nature, but because what society expects him to do, a man can't get hit, it's worse if its from a girl <- this is vicious.
