Women: Have you ever been involved or witnessed a fistfight? ?

Question

Between two women? And no I'm not talking about stuff you see in the movies or those apartment videos people who have catfight fetishes watch. I'm talking in the bar, out on the streets, at a nightclub, party/gathering, just in general, have you ever witnessed or been involved in such a fight (with another woman, not talking about defending yourself against a man or fighting a man).

I'm talking seriously here. Just like sometimes guys get into fights with one another at bars and parties, you don't really see too many women involved in any fistfights (again I said women, I know when we're kids a lot of us do get into fights both boys AND girls, but I'm talking about grown women).

If you did witness such a fight, or had been involved, what had happened? Why is it that men are more likely to get into fistfights and not bother to talk about it or use words and women are more threatening verbally but less likely to fight?

(Honest question)

Answer 1

I agree with your assessment, and it is more masculine to physically dominate another person, at least that is the view. I know some women who looked at their mate differently if they lost a fight to someone.

I don't buy the testosterone argument clouding a man's judgment because while women may not fight, since they don't want to experience the physical pain will do other things to get even such as destroy property. Burning, bleaching, ripping, and cutting clothes, keying cars, etc. Then you have women who will simply resort to getting even such as interfering with someone's life. Breaking up a relationship, sleeping with another woman's boyfriend, getting someone fired from their job, etc. You see this more in women when it comes to a reaction to a confrontation. Men may fight but women will hold on to the situation longer.

Answer 2

I've never been in one before because I think physical fighting is dumb and should only be done if you are physically attacked.  I think that men might feel inclined to fight because, if they don't they'll be seen as "weak".  In reality, giving in to societal pressures is "weak".  Not being able to defend yourself verbally or just walk away is "weak".  

I have seen women fighting over complete c**p, though not as often as I've seen men fighting.

Answer 3

Hormone levels is the scientific reason.  Sociology plays into it as well since through history men have generally been the hunter gatherers (I'm sure Amazon women get in fist fights).

I have seen a few fights between women, but I would call them cat fights instead of fist fights.  They have all involved more pushing, shoving and grappling then actually punching and kicking.

Answer 4

Almost everyday I have to fight.  

Answer 5

I saw a very brief one in the cafeteria in eleventh grade. The larger girl threw the smaller one to the floor, then kicked her in the face. Then they were broken up.

Answer 6

yes

Answer 7

I actually saw a fight a couple of weeks ago at the fair between 5 black girls. Generally I don't find fights funny but this one was hilarious.  It wasn't so much a fist fight as it was a lets jump on each other and grab hair. Weaves were flying everywhere.

I was waiting for someone to play this song.

A state trooper eventually saw the huge crowd and came to break it up.

Answer 8

Yes, every now and then, you'll see a fist fight at a bar near the beach, between two women who are fighting over a man, TSK TSK TSK, which is so foolish... I think that one should refrain from a fist fight if at all necessarily unless one must defend ones self.  =P

Answer 9

I saw a fight once. This young woman ran up and stole this middle aged woman's bag. She went absolutely mental and chased the girl, and hit her sooo hard like again and again and again! I think she might have actually had mental issues though!

Men are full of testosterone and need to prove their strength and 'manlyness'. Women do not feel the need to do this and don't need to get into fistfights as they don't want to be classed as masculine! Also, words can often hurt alot more than fists to other girls, because we are so vain and self centered we want everyone to like us.

Hope that helped!

Answer 10

yes i have witnessed gals fighting.....grown adults, cos one looked better then the other on a night out. mind you it was a few years ago. it was not a pretty sight to see. if i remember correctly, one of them ot more attention, and the other went mad!....so the 'mad' one tried to glass the other one, obviously a certain amount of alcohol was involved.....eventually we managed to pull them apart, but several clumps of hair had been pulled out....blood everywhere.

thankfully, no serious injuries...the funny thing was, the 2 gals were flat mates, and had to go home together that night. it was horrible, and embarrassing to watch.

cos people assume that by association, then you are the same as them....and thats that.... :)

Answer 11

well, my sister and I used to get into fist fights very often, but a lot of them involved kicking instead of punching.

Answer 12

I was involved in a fist fight with my best friend's sister probably 9 years ago.

We were in her garage, and she was being mean to my little brother. I have a fierce sense of protection for him since he is a bit different in the head.

So I told her to stop being mean, she laughed and continued to be a fool. So I punched her in the face, and she started trying to kick me with all of her 'karate expertise' and never got a foot on me.

I spat on her and grabbed my brother as she yelled after me, "Stay the h**l outta my garage!"

Grrrr.

Answer 13

I've never been involved in a fistfight with anyone, nor ever witnessed one. Once, in a bar, someone started a fight, but they were quickly gotten rid of.

I'm 50 years old and have never seen any two people in a fistfight, except for boxing competition clips on TV.

Answer 14

Two 16 year-old girls got in a really nasty fight at my high-school. They had a confrontation when one of the girls was standing at her open locker, and the other girl got her down on the ground and started slamming her head in the locker. A football player grabbed the one who was on top, and that ended the fight. Our school rarely had any fights, so this was a big deal. Usually, girls will just verbally go at it, but these two had been over the same guy for almost a year. He was happily jumping back and forth between them, and they were wreaking emotional h**l on each other. That type of stress would get to anybody, and I doubt that either of these girls would do this as adults.  Women just see less to gain in physical fighting. I think it's because guys have the testosterone thing going on, and that sometimes overrides their better judgment.

Answer 15

Women like drama easy as said!!!!!
