I bet she only stopped you because you would have got your rooster dirty.
No but seriously, I too am not a violent person but the moment anyone does anything aggressive towards
any woman near me I flip out, even if I don't know them. Last time I was out at the pub some dude outside hit his girlfriend, I'd say he was eight inches taller than me and I still started a fight over it. Of course, I was drunk and that's the only reason I didn't end up in hospital - because I wasn't feeling the pain and could actually finish the fight. Ended up with a huge bruise over my stomach and left side of my chest... not sure if my ribs were okay, I could barely even sit up in bed for the next couple of days, but I'm fine now so that's alright.
My mum's reaction was hilarious... I get home, curl up on the lounge and go to sleep, and in the morning she asks me who beat the crap out of me. When I told her it was some starfish who hit a woman, she ruffled my hair and made me a coffee. But I digress.
Thing is, I still feel scummy even for getting into fights with starfishs like that. It's not good to enjoy violence but some people just don't seem to learn any other way, and those are the people who project that onto others and think that the only way other people are going to learn is by violence. Hence the hitting their girlfriend. That, and some people just deserve a good stuff-kicking.
