Maybe it is because, men are by nature stronger, so women select women as their targets? Maybe it is because, criminals select their peers as targets more often than nonpeers? I guess that the reason why I was surprised is because, I thought that women strike out more in self defense rather than as offense. I guess that that was pretty sexist of me. Does anyone else have any ideas? And how does this impact on our learners who are women?
