So, I had an epiphany this weekend while the girlfriend was screaming at me. When two guys get into an argument, you know there is an invisible line that cannot be crossed, lest the argument escalate into a physical fight. You know there are things you cannot say without risking a "mouth full of fist", and it basically forces a certain level of civility in any argument. But while my girlfriend was shrieking, spewing rage that would get any guy's ass kicked, all the while following me around the house as I sought respite, I realized that there was nothing that I could really do in that moment to stop it, short of leaving my own house. Basically, could a lot of the "crazy" we have to endure simply be the result of courage derived from "harm immunity"-- basically women knowing (assuming they know their man) that we won't lay a finger on them no matter what they say/do?
