I've actually been in that situation. When I was in high school I headed out after a concert to a Dennys (yeah...I'm THAT white trash) for a bite before heading home. While pulling up we saw a frat boy looking guy who was obviously drunk and screaming. After punching one of those newspaper dispensing things (which had to have broken his hand), he turns and backhands the girl HARD (who was alrwady sobbing). I got out of the car with a female friend who took the girl aside while I had a "talk" with the guy. Our talk consisted of me applying downward force to his kneecap with my foot and repeatedly kicking him in the face while he was on the ground and asking him if hitting women made him feel like a big man. Come to think of it, that was my first over-nighter in jail (no charges filed though...woohoo!). But you did the right thing. I didn't. You subdued him without injuring him but still getting your point across. I don't care where you're from...it's wrong to beat women unless they're wailing on you (sorry girls...but if you wanna be treated equal and you punch me, you're getting punched back). I won't say that women can't take care of themselves...there's a ton of girls who could kick my ass I'm sure. But most take it out of fear. I know cultural standards are different in this case, but if you're in this country then you better learn to adapt or get your ass kicked by a mountain biker.
