I think I was lucky leaving home and first working in the '70s when female empowerment was the thing :smt001 Every woman and her dog went on self defence and assertiveness training, not quite so fashionable now but these things are still available today together with more up to date conflict resolution courses, often run by local colleges and many employers run them or are happy to provide funds to attend because they will see the benefit in stress management, health and safety and customer relations.

By this I mean, if someone happened to glance her way she would retort, "What are you looking at?''. Of course, this lead to some heated argument, if not, a fight. She would always say that people were always 'starting on her' but really, she was just too quick to get angry. I don't think this is uncommon.
