I think we have to be careful not to conflate women who are physically abusive with women who know how to fight. These are two VERY different things, and probably have a great deal less overlap than the general population.

I did not mean to conflate the two; I meant more that as a person with extreme and irrational anxiety I find it hard not to feel more afraid of someone who is more physically capable of harming me, even if realistically that doesn't make them more likely to do so.
