“Sane women are busy doing sane things “ bottom line ..

Believe it or not, boxing gyms are the most civilized environments I've been in

I bounced in nightclubs. When a man gets out of line, it gets physical. Women know, its not going to get physical, so they can go crazy. And they do.

I spent almost 20 years of my life trying to reason with a crazy woman who was my wife. Perhaps the only thing I learned was to not waste your time.

[ummagumma]

Neither men nor women need to control crazy. Ya just don't cooperate with crazy. You do not comply with crazy. You let them meltdown into a pile of burning rubber, showing no reaction at all.

Its like he's sayin you can't do anything but walk away

[darylmiranda]

Best remedy is to avoid them and leave them alone. That’s the best thing

[loveandpeace]

In all honesty, women don't understand crazy women either.

"Men Can't Control Crazy Women" without breaking the law.

[andrewtruscott]

You can’t reason with someone who wants to be unreasonable, man or woman. Don’t try!

[doyalgauranga]

The only way to fight a crazy woman is ignoring her totally. It works most of the time.

Whenever my mom would bring up certain topics, my dad would grab his truck keys + ask me if I wanted to come with him. I understand exactly what he’s talking about.

I was having a conversation with my fiancée a few months ago which touched on this. We were amusing ourselves with a hypothetical scenario of both of us spending the day in the body of the opposite sex. During that conversation I told her that the average woman, in a man's body, would end up in a physical fight within hours. Women are just more forthright in displaying their annoyance and displeasure to others in public (in my view) and are just not as curtious to others. I hypothesised this may be due to the lack of any serious physical confrontation between females and other females, or females and males, compared to male-on-male confrontation.

You say "excuse me!" rather too abruptly to someone in your way as a man and it could get violent. As a woman you get a pass. Someone steps on your toe by accident and they say 'sorry', you have to respond with 'no problem' or 'its ok' as a man. Show your annoyance too much and it could mean a trip to hospital or a dentist. Again, as a woman you can roll your eyes, shake your head and demand the idiot who stepped on you to watch where they're going in future! A man just cannot do that or he'd be forever being punched. Men are forced to be more polite to avoid dangerous physical scenarios.

I was married to, probably the most aggressive person I've ever met. Even my clients were scared of her. WAS married.
I abhor aggressive womem.

Good to see a rational woman who agrees with a guy like Jordan, not gobbling in disbelief thinking woman are perfect

how to deal with insane people, regardless of gender: don’t. disengage. distance yourself.

I'll never forget this girl who I liked back in middle school - she used to chase me and bully me, but I didn't mind because my little mind was just happy for recognition from the object of my imagined affection. Then one day, something happened that changed me forever - it essentially woke me from what seemed like a slumber. We were sitting at the lunch table, and she took the opportunity to start making fun of me in front of everybody. I usually sat alone as I liked being with my thoughts; but that day I sat with the other kids. As she berated me at length, I smirked and smirked and people started remarking at how she didn't seem to be affecting me. then, the unthinkable happened - she stood up over the table and got in my face, and when I looked up at her, she spit on my cheek. I remember the utter shock that hit me, as a realization dawned on me: holy shit this girl actually HATES me. I wouldn't do that to an animal (spit on it). I had totally misread the situation all along - she actually had contempt for me. Then, shock turned to rage and I grabbed her by the hair and slammed her down on the lunch table, wanting to grind her face out of existence. I couldn't bring my self to hit her the way I wanted to, and just held her face down on the table until I felt myself being lifted in the air by a teacher who'd arrived and broken it up. I hand't even heard the other kids yelling and screaming and laughing until he picked me up.

Whatever - this clip just reminded me of that day long ago - and how only a girl (albeit crazy girl) would even dream of doing something like that to another person and have full expectation of getting away with it. Didn't quite pan out that way for her that time. Shrugs. She avoided me for the rest of the school year after we both returned from our three-day suspension - wouldn't even look at me. It saddened me then that she seemed broken, in a way...but there was a small twinge of justification.nonetheless.

I've reflected on something very similar. Men have something akin to mutually assured destruction. Even a larger man does not usually want to push a smaller man too far because he knows a fight can occur. When that happens, the smaller man is often still strong enough to win or inflict damage to the larger man despite losing (most men can shatter another man's nose). Or the smaller man's friends might jump in. At the very least, a scene will be made and the cops likely called and maybe an arrest.

Partly due to this, men tend to be much nicer to each other in public. I've been treated poorly by women in public for no good reason MANY more times than I have been treated that way by a man. Women that feel safe and that the man will not react violently (as I don't seem like that type of man) sometimes feel like they have a suit of armor. I know someone will point to some statistic, but I've seen this over and over throughout my life. It is a thing. This is especially true when drinking. Women will just start screaming dumb rude stuff at men.

I'd really respect any woman that could actually admit that this is part of the dynamic.

I've dealt with crazy women and the best thing you can do is abandon them.
It's also the most justifiably cruel thing you can do to them because it's worse than hitting them. Just go a.w.o.l.on them without giving them any closure.
Sometimes abandonment is what a crazy woman deserves more than anything. It gives them the message that they are beyond hope and not worth anyone's time. That's all they need to know.

I stand up to a man, we sort it out. I stand up to a wyman, they complain to HR, supervisors, colleagues, etc.
