As (a poor excuse for) a martial artist, I can't just go all out on a girl, or on anyone in fact, unless it's a truly life or death situation. If I don't have a good reason to fight, then the L-Boys are gonna take me away, which is not a Gravy option!! The police probably won't believe a guy over a girl, so ya gotta find a way to diffuse the situation without resorting to violence. Either that, or call a female relative to come over and lay the SmackDown!!(TM) I think that modern movies and video games have a lot to do with girls wanting to fight boys. When SF2 came out, girls had a role model, namely, Chun Li Xiang, my goddess of Martial Arts. There were also martial arts flicks that came out that featured women as the lead ass-kickers, and I think that inspired more females to train in Martial arts. Some girls, however, are just violent!! (^_^) Now, I'm not gonna say no names... As for me, if I encounter a violent PMS chick, then I'm gonna just run.

Handing the blade to Haplo, he leans up against a tree and watches. Haplo speaks the runes, as he traces thier intricate patterns into the steel. Soon, the sword is covered in the strange symbols, which give a faint blue-red glow. Now, the sword is charged with rune magic, the better to protect his charge with. ** Shinobu, protective agent of Ukyo-Sama Possessor of the Togakure-blade.
