You didn’t say the underlined bit. I should have made clear that I wasn’t directly quoting you. I did (and do) believe that you think that way, however, based on these two posts you made:

> As much as some people claim “violence doesn’t solve anything”, the simple fact is, some people only understand language punctuated by solid blows to the body.

(I don’t see any indication here that you feel violence should only be used against such people in response to violence)

I’m sure some smart person could invent a shock-giving glove of some sort, that females were allowed to use on anyone, male or female, who came within their personal space uninvited, and with bad intent.

_(note that this says nothing about tasers and peppersprays being used only in response to violence)_

If I am misinterpreting your feelings, I apologize.

It’s the “[Fist fights are good for society](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=563314)” thread.
