Your poor daughter will feel so vulnerable knowing that her dads too afraid to protect her.
Protect her from what? Once the words are said, they are said. You can't take them back even if the guys ass gets kicked.
again this is turning into some moral/philosophical shit. you're just not that aggressive which isn't necessarily bad, but that is where the distinction lies.
Actually I'm really aggressive IRL, and have been known to escalate situations. However, it's my experience being in those situations and being like that that leads to my understanding of exactly why I should *not* be like that.
