Women can defend themselves too. Obviously it's harder to defend one's self against an abuser/attacker who is bigger and stronger than oneself, but I also think there's a mindset at work here as well.
If a person was abused or neglected by his or her parents he or she is more like to be either an abuser or a victim. Also people who witnessed one or both parents abuse one another are more likely to be involved in domestic abuse. Substance abuse by one or both parents also plays a very large role in the cycle of abuse.
Which of these kinds of people do you consider the lowest scum?
