A few years back a young woman I knew, I'll call her Claire, was engaged to a guy she'd been living with for a couple of years, and they were intending to marry. One night in the pub another girl, I'll call her Beth, who knew Claire and her partner well, was, after having a few drinks, flirting outrageously with Claire's man. He didn't respond, but Beth's actions enraged Claire. She told me she'd like to give Beth a smack in the mouth (though this incident is some time back I do remember that Claire said she wanted to smack Beth in the mouth) like a guy would if he saw another man coming on to his girl, but felt she couldn't as women fighting was unladylike.
It's my guess is that most women today would not have such inhibitions, and would make a violent connection between their fist and Beth's face. But am I right? What do the ladies here think?
