And the woman who could win the respect of man was often the woman who could knock him down with her bare fists and sit on him until he yelled for help.

Women can stand a beating except when it is with their own weapons.
Where a man's strength and courage is tested most is in the way that he treats women - the way that he loves.
Perhaps the strongest evidence that women have as broad and deep a capacity for physical aggression as men is anecdotal. And as with men, this capacity has expressed itself in acts from the brave to the brutal, the selfless to the senseless.
Fighting is not a man's thing, it is a human thing.
It is often necessary to know how to obey a woman in order sometimes to have the right to command her.
I've twice run against women opponents, and it's a very different kind of approach. For those of us who have some chivalry left, there's a level of respect... You treat some things as a special treasure; you treat other things as common.
The female loves to play man against man. And if she is in a position to do it, there is not one who will resist.
Why don't we actually fight for a woman's right even to complain about being beaten up. That is more important than driving. If a woman is beaten, they are told to go back to their homes - their fathers, husbands, brothers - to be beaten up again and locked up in the house.
Remember that whatever may be said by a lady or her friends, it is not part of conduct of a gallant or generous man to take up arms against a woman.
I don't think a woman has to act like a man to show that she has strength.
