Yes, women are vicious fighters but use different, and arguably more potent, weapons. A fist-fight with a man might leave you wounded and bleeding for a few days. A woman will leave you ostracized from your friends and family, possibly ending your career, for the rest of your life, often leading to your depression and suicide. Society (especially now) will approves of a woman's destruction of her target, seeing it as a positive example of "female empowerment", independent of any other fact of the case other than gender. In other words, there is social pressure that encourages females to become domineering bullies. At the same time, causal misandry encourages this false idea that women are somehow excluded from a wide variety of the worst of human behavior, the same behaviors that are actively encouraged in women! This is in addition to the fact that women's anger, violence, sexual assault (especially against children), is very real and, I believe, wildly under-reported.

> A woman will leave you ostracized from your friends and family, possibly ending your career, for the rest of your life, often leading to your depression and suicide. And a man wouldn't ? I haven't checked but I bet anti social behavior, narcissism and psychopathy is higher in males than females.

>Yes, women are vicious fighters but use different, and arguably more potent, weapons. A fist-fight with a man might leave you wounded and bleeding for a few days. I cannot agree with this. Bodily harm was far far worse than being picked on. You use an extreme case for the women, but a near harmless case for a man? What if you get your skull smashed in and have a brain injury forever? (I saw that happen). What if your face gets smashed and plastic surgery can't fix it?(seen that one too) Not to mention becoming a paraplegic. (or death) I'll take a chance at ostracization over being afraid for my life.

  Many things in life can damage you physically, but the utmost emotional devastation will drive you to kill yourself.

      Deep psychological trauma can be viewed as a form of brain injury. It's honestly hard to compare emotional and physical trauma. You'll heal from a black eye in a few weeks, a broken bone in a few months, whereas I've personally had some emotional baggage that took me literally 17 years + extensive journaling, meditation and psychedelic use to heal, which shows that some emotional scars can take a very long time to mend. On the flip side, yeah, an injury like a stroke, or getting an eye poked out is permanent, while it's very possible in the modern world to find a new social circle after having been ostracised from an old one. It's also perhaps useful to note that in the modern world, one type of trauma can lead to another - getting beat up can lead to some emotional trauma that lasts much longer than the physical injuries, being socially isolated can lead to destructive behaviours like drug/alcohol abuse and self-harm...

  Based on your name, it seems those are great examples of selection bias. If you were a divorce lawyer that primarily worked with men, I'm sure you'd have more examples of the other side.

  Intuitively, most people seem to think that bodily harm is worse that psychological harm. In practice, extreme isolation has shown to be exceptional potent form of torture, and it not uncommon for prisoners to self starve and trade bodily harm in exchange of ending psychological harm. People in general undervalue the threat of psychological harm. We all know how physical pain feel like from cutting a finger or scraping a knee. Most of us don't know however how it feels to be social isolated unless we experience it first hand. We can also seen in the animal kingdom how physiological harm often lead to bodily harm. A common tactic in female to female aggression is to induce miscarriage through stress. It is similar outcome as physical harm. It just that researcher until fairly recent (~50 years) attributed those thing to nature rather than to violence. A dead female baboon must be dead because the jungle is a dangerous place, while a dead male baboon is obviously dead because he got beaten to death.
