When a man who hates women confronts you at the top of the stairs, first mace him in the face. Then while he's rubbing his eyes, kick him in the nuts. While he's doubled over, kick him in the face. Finally, push him down the stairs.
No mess, no fuss.
Alternative method, use a stun gun in the crotch and kick him down the stairs.
Now, that's elegance.
Homage to
Stieg Larsson and his wonderful
Millennium Trilogy which features the fictional Lisabeth Salander, a true feminist heroine.
Highly recommended books or, if you must view movies, the Swedish language version. Salander is one pissed off woman.
More guys should read these novels.
