You're right.

That might be a very accurate assessment because when I was bartending on the Lower East Side in New York, I would operate as the bouncer to stop fights because it was always two guys fighting.

And if I stood in between them and was the arbiter of any more booze they were going to get, then they wouldn't fight because it was like, oh, I'm not going to hit a woman.

I'm not going to.

And it gave them an excuse to go, all right, all right, all right, all right.

back up.

So being a different gender was the crux of how that worked.

I think that's why, yeah, it was effective to be a woman and get in between them.

Yeah, because it means neither one of them has to fight.

And in the moment that they're about to fight, they realize, I don't know this person's skills, training, ability, weaponry.

Of course you'd be scared.

Have you ever been, like, rushed in a bar?

Have you ever...

Had anyone like the chest smash try to fight you?

And you waited?

And?

No.

Were they grownups or were they your same age?

Fist fights.

He took a swing.
