and my Mother had one rule "Boys do NOT hit Girls". It was rough when they were BIGGER then me, but became of little consequence once I became larger. Guys taking abuse from Girls is no big thing, it is like dealing with anyone, you have to take the good with the bad.

Now, you did mention one big differences between the sexes, fighting. Most male fighting is positioning fighting, neither participate whats to hurt the other, but they also want to show the point where they will not be pushed (and how far to push another boy). Thus boys fight, and then get back to working together. Girls are a different issue, most girl fights are to the death. they WANT to do harm to each other. Afterward the tension that caused the fight continues (unlike boys fighting where such tensions tend to disappear). Worse, boys fight under understood rules NOT to harm each other, girls do NOT fight under those rules. Thus girls get into less fights, but they tend to be more serious then boys fights.

I also joke about the man I saw running from his wife. I asked him why was he running? He could take down his wife at any time. He turned to me and said three things can happen when a man gets into a fight with a woman:

1. The Woman beats, him, and his friends laugh at him for not being able to beat a woman.
2. The man wins, and he gets the reputation as a Wife Beater i.e. can not fight men, but willing to beat up on women.
3. Be called a coward for running away.

His choice was simple, given the above three bad choices, being called a coward was the best of three bad options. Thus he ran away till she calmed down. This reflects women's tendency NOT to do positioning fighting, which is the norm among preteen males (by high school most males have worked past that tendency thus you see if mostly in Grade School and Middle School).

This difference between the sexes exist, to a limited extent, to adulthood. Men, being the larger in size and muscle, when in a "fight" with a woman (not abuse, that is a different subject) tend to keep it verbal even if a woman does minor physical acts to him. This goes back to his childhood where beating up someone weaker was NOT looked on with favor by his friends. Women also follows this trend for they rarely believe they will prevail in a physical fight with a male.

Side note: Abuse is different then the "fights" I mention above. Every relationship has "fights" that is where two people disagree. Abuse is when the point is not the disagreement but to put someone down, either verbally or physically. On the surface people confuse fights with abuse, but once you look into the situation you see the difference. In a "Fight" the parties never try to harm one another, in abuse to harm the other is the point. I have seen 5 foot women get in "Fights" with 6 foot men, but the fight NEVER becomes abuse for such abuse is not the intention of either party (Given the size differences these tend to remain verbal fights). On the other hand I have seen abuse done by weaker people on stronger people (through it is mostly men on women) so to put the other person in "her or his place". I have seen that done not only physically but also verbally (and sometime exclusively verbally). I must make myself clear that when I am using the term "Fight" I do not mean "abuse".
