If you’ve never been in one, no need to comment “never”. For me it was over a decade ago as a teenager at a state fair. Quick fight broke out between an annoying guy and myself. He was following my little group around tossing stink bombs at us. A little pushing turned into a little punching. We both ended up in cuffs but neither with actual charges. We were both banned for the following 2 years from that fair.
I get approached by weirdos on the subway/street and I have to shove them off. That happens 1-2 times a year. It never really escalates beyond a ‘get out of my face’ and a push.
A legit fistfight? Not since middle school. Had quite a few when I was 10-13.
Been physically hit or threatened with a weapon? Happened multiple times when I was dating, but I stopped doing that about 5 years ago. Almost always during a breakup or immediately before a breakup. I don’t tolerate violent women in my life. I can’t really tell people this though, because people immediately assume a woman threatening to stab you for breaking up with her means you are the bad guy. Sexism is wild.
