i have this saved but idk why

Unironically my first two years in psychiatry I worked with criminally insane men specifically and they told me it’s actually slightly easier to break up men’s fights than women’s. They said as long as you have a least two staff members (another person at your back facing the other man) you can usually break up the whole fight with just the two of you (and I’ve found this to be true).

Literally just shove one of them around a corner to break eye contact and it’s over. They’ll basically immediately move into tension reduction, not crying usually but usually babbling a little,“he just made me so angry, why would he say that” etc etc. Most guys actually lowkey want to be held back they just need someone to actually do it to preserve their pride. With girls you let them go at each other until the entire code response has arrived from the other unit because you’re basically gonna have to do a full restraint episode for each woman.

And after, most men don’t hold a beef for most fights. I actually once intervened and looked over my guy’s shoulder and saw the other dude trying to chew the other guys face off. I come back for my next shift to fine out they literally hugged it out during evening shift a few hours before I came back on. Like the guy said “sorry I thought you were someone else” (he was acutely psychotic at that moment and we pumped him FULL of haldol) and they literally hugged it out. Women will plot to keep doing it.

I don’t know the meme, but I can tell you a lot of people bottle. If we’re taking off our jewelry, for example, that’s a precursor/signal that the consequences no longer outweigh the motivation to engage in dangerous escalation.
