The first time it happened I was walking past a club with four of my (male) housemates at around closing time, on our way home. A drunk girl and her equally drunk friend were standing in a doorway crying over some childish drama. My friend looks over and locks eyes with the most drunk girl who starts screaming at him "WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU LOOKIN' AT DICKHEAD?" and then charges him. He dodges the assault and I turn around to see what the commotion is and to tell her to piss off. Done is done, I turn around and keep walking until one of my mates says "Heads up!" and before I know it the girls rounded on me and started punching my head and kicking me in the shins. Before I had the time to react, in a manner unbecoming a gentleman, a police car showed up and took her away.

The second time I was in a nightclub, dancing on the dancefloor with two of my female friends and two of my housemates. A guy trying to get to his girlfriend on the dancefloor lurches past me, knocking me into a group of four drunk harpies. "WHY THE FUCK ARE YOU PUSHING INTO US YOU CUNT?!" "Whoa, sorry. I was pushed, I wasn't pushing". I try to turn away but they push in front of me and continue their tirade "Nah you're a dickhead, you pushed into us!!". At this point I get sick of their shit so I told them that I did not fucking PUSH INTO YOU. Before I can react one of the girls rips off my glasses and throws them across the nightclub. £200 Paul Smith glasses. Never to be found again (but covered by insurance). That wasn't enough, so one started pushing and beating me on the back and while I'm trying to fend them off three massive Rugby louts step in and ask why I'm hassling the girls. Insert Epic Trollface from the girls.

The other time was when I was in a fast food joint waiting for some food for my drunkness and two fat bints took issue with what I was wearing. "Oi you look like a prick blah blah" all that nonsensical shit, and some minor pushing but I was on good terms with the bouncer so it was fine.

The short and the long of it is basically girls are much more lary and aggressive than most guys are these days! Now I'm a skinny 5'9 dude who weighs about 10 stone (155 lbs) who goes out of his way NOT TO start fights. Whenever a guy squares up to me or even just accidentally pushes into or whatever, we look each other square in the eye, say sorry, and move along. You can reason with guys, at least where I live. I've never had any problems with a guy on a night out, solely women who freak the fuck out and start flailing at you without any chance of reasonable dialogue.

I've also found women's behaviour on nights out has seriously fucking deteriorated. At least when guys go for a drunken piss, we do it down an alleyway or behind a secluded tree somewhere. I've seen girls just squat in the street in full view of clubs and bars far too many times for my own good. Maybe it's just British girls, but I can't help but feel like that this whole "equality" thing has crossed over into the extremes. Just because men can and do behave badly, doesn't mean women should as well! We don't need even MORE people doing stupid shit. Studies indicate that women drink more than men now as well, and anecdotally I can certainly confirm that.

tl;dr - Sorry I just needed to rant and get it out of my system because I definitely used to be a White Knight. But after starting university and venturing into a nightlife properly, I have seriously gone the other way.
