From my observations, many gals (not all - sheesh, must I really make that disclaimer every time??) will SAY they don't like it but their actions prove otherwise.
Some of our WP members are the exception because we know how rotten it feels to be bullied, but the ones who were weren't pushed around in skewl seem to be helplessly attracted to the maaaaanliness of mr. ooga-booga who can "protect" her. His ability to overpower other men, protect what's hers and take from others to give her more... well it just maker her all giddy! They don't see it as bullying - only taking from the weak to give to the strong (themselves) because they deserve it more.
I know I'm being a bit grumpy/bitter about the matter, but I've seen it all too often. It gives me some hope for the human race that at least a handful of gals (as seen here) are immune to the BS.
I agree to an extend, but there is a difference between a guy being able to protect someone and bullying others, though. My ex for instance was very protective towards me, but would have never pushed people around in order to prove something.
It wasn't long ago, though, since a guy I share a lecture with tried to impress me by telling me in detail why and how every other guy in the same class are inferior to him. He was genuinely surprised when I told him to sod off, so I suppose there are some girls who actually buy it. I do think those girls tend to have a bit of a bully mentality themselves, though.
