So... Are all the females in your family incapable of standing up for themselves or do you feel that females just... Can't... My mother is an ex military vet and my sister and I studied judo and tiger-crane together. They would get pissed at me if I hinted that they were feeble because of their gender. With that said, I would back any of my family members up if their well being was at risk no matter the gender. Because that's what families are supposed to do.
