Women can injure us with a simple word. "No." They don't normally need a
weapon. Rejection can destroy a man's ego, while it only encourages a woman to
try somewhere else.

I have heard that also, after reading accounts of male German soldiers
(was there any other kind?) vs female Russian soldiers. They were
described as viscous and cruel.
I do have a hard believing that they were actually any more viscous and
cruel than their male counterparts though. I lean towards the idea that
their behaviour stood out more, because they were women. Their
viciousness and cruelty was expected of the men, but not the women.
Mainly because the Germans talk of not being able to fight properly
against women troops (for a start, but more often than not, the start is
all the fight you get :) ) because, well, you don't hit girls basically.
On the other hand, and no offence to the ladies out there, in civilian
life I have known and experienced some shockingly viscous behaviour from
women, crueller than any man, although that might be matter of
perspective :) Maybe cheating on your girlfriend when your both 18
really does deserve having your car stolen and stripped for parts, and a
price on your head (where the price is kudos, and your head is a beating).
