I know what you're saying, monocle. Raised the same way as you, where females are a thing to be protected. My girlfriend, my friends, and I sometimes go Ice skating. We still do, and we have a lot of fun skating. One time, instead of messing around on the pond behind my friend's house, we went to an actual rink. This one asshat is doing his laps, and he pushes my girlfriend aside hard, and she fell onto the ice and needed stitches in her lip. I was so pissed at him, but that was a few years ago, and even if I punched that guy, the fatass wouldn't feel a thing. I'm not even sure if I would get my hand back from the flab. I helped my girlfriend up, and me friends and I escorted her to the hospital. I didn't drive, because I didn't have my license at the time. My friend drove, and he still has a few blood splotches inside his car's seats, but they're barely noticeable unless you knew they were there.
