About 165lbs now. That puts me 1lb over what I last read was the average weight of the nation's women.
I was answering from the perspective of all women and children compared to men. Not just my family. Additionally, I avoid taking any situation to violence. Partly because I'm most likely to lose and partly because I don't have visions of winning a fist fight. I have visions of maiming and death. Hopefully the other guy, but I'd enter a fight expecting to play for keeps. Bottom line, I've got too much to lose to get into physical confrontations.
Beyond that, I believe in equal rights for women. They can make their own choices and suffer their own consequences. Kids are a different story. But I don't get involved in other people's family matters. I would agree that children need special protections. For that we have CPS. In my own family I haven't seen legit child abuse so I don't know what it would take to push me to violent confrontation.
Let me drive this home a bit with a current family situation. My mother enables my drugged out, lying, thieving, piece of shit brother. He's ruining her life and has been for the past five years. She doesn't live anywhere near me and I'm rarely back there. I've had many visions of confronting him and they all end in his death. Instead of go down that road I offer her advice, encouragement, and silence when I know she doesn't want to hear it. Gone so far as to suggest she sells her home and builds something for herself on my land. Now I'm just praying the fucking system does its job and puts him away for a number of years.
