Women:  My wife who is strong and confrontational got into her first fight when a woman who she just had words with pulled her hair from behind.  My wife did not try to turn around, but instead tried to protect herself by grabbing the other woman’s wrists.  Her attacker slowly pulled her to the sidewalk.  When she saw that my wife was in tears, she just walked away victoriously.  Has another woman ever pulled your hair from behind?  If so, how were you able to deal with it?  Has this ever happened to anyone you know or have you ever witnessed such an attack?

It's very difficult for a girl to defend or counter a hair grab from behind. Especially if it occurs unexpectedly.
 I saw an incident like this happen in front of me at a nightclub.  An older woman grabbed the hair of a very sexy younger girl after she had walked past. Pure jealousy. There was nothing the younger girl could do as she was yanked backward. Me and some mates intervened as best we could. Security arrived and the older woman and her friends had to leave.

My wife took me to the scene of the attack the next morning.  If she had forced the other woman backward, they would have ended up in the street and could have been hit by a car.  But I agree that she was too passive.  A friend of hers was with her and asked why she didn’t fight back.

Did your wife ever say why she didn’t fight back? Also was wondering if she knew the girl and if you asked what her feeling was on her chances had the two settled it? Could be she was too worried that fighting back would’ve resulted in her being hurt worse or being embarrassed had she lost in front of those watching.

SNW, I no longer question my wife about female fighting because she realizes that it turns me on and finds that disgusting.  She admits that she told me about the attack only because it was too much on her mind for her not to the first day afterwards.  The other woman was a stranger.  I did talk to the friend and learned the following:  My wife told her that she couldn’t fight back because the other woman was behind her; both women were about the same size, but the attacker was about 10 years younger than my 56- year- old wife.  Back in the days when I did question my wife, she told me that she felt sure that she could beat up the average white woman her size and age, but would lose to the average black or Hispanic woman.  The other woman was Hispanic and obviously physically scrappy, while my wife was only verbally scrappy.  So my guess is the same as your apparent guess: she was passive so that she wouldn’t get hurt worse. But embarrassment was not a factor:  she would have considered fighting and losing less embarrassing than refusing to fight back.

While that is a tough spot to be in your wife could have got back at her attacker, seeing as though she had the other woman’s wrists as she was pulling hair your wife could have done any of the following, stomped her foot on her attackers, turned toward her attack and either punch , or claw at her breasts of attacker, she could have side stepped and tilted her body frame to left or right and slammed an elbow back into attacker, or lastly snapped her head back and head butted her attackers face with back of her head. One thing any woman she know is never just assume or think your in to bad a spot to not try to get of. Yes her attacker could easily control your wife and bring her to the ground but if your wife was attempting to get free it would have been harder on the attacker to just hold her by the hair. Personally having had my hair yanked from the back like that by a bitch, i wa able to spin into her and slammed a fist to other woman’s face which put a quick end to her hold on me.

At a certain Brockton, MA all-girls Catholic high school in the early-1980s, a freshman year initiation tradition was to get blind-side shoulder-checked (sending your books and papers flying everywhere) if you took a shortcut thru the hallways in the section where the senior girls' lockers were.  You'ld get a detention for walking the long way and being late for class, so it was a lose-lose proposition--sometimes taking your lumps from the senior girls was your best bet.

Sinclairfan, I definitely agree with you and I’m pretty sure my wife would also.  Me being me, I want her to fight, but I want even more for her not to be injured.

The thought of Catholic girls, in uniforms, in catfights gets me sexually aroused.
