Oh I
always allow my boyfriend to be a man, would never ever interfere with that.
I simply don't equate getting into brawls/physical altercations with being a man. Unless it's to defend my life or his.
I still don't interfere with that when it happened tho, like with my ex. And at the time, I was actually flattered by it.
But now? Words are much more effective imo and as I said, and YOU said, him assertively expressing he doesn't tolerate disrespect =
So we are in agreement - I think.
Edit: I realize some maybe even many women are into that type of aggression, like in the thread about the poster pulling some random guy out of a taxi. Did you read that?
His date was all over him after that and he took her home and banged her.
Like this from one of my favorite flicks.
