I remember asking one of my more loyal American fans of the strip (who says she was once a stage and go-go dancer in a famous American club - and I don't hold ANYTHING against her for this choice of profession) how she thought the punch-up scene might go, as she had previously talked on a pm about a few cat-fights she'd experienced with girl dancers working alongside her some decades ago!
"Afterwards the guys around us said they'd never heard so much bad language coming from two club gals before, and the violence and aggression was so powerful they were loath to step in, for fear of getting ripped to shreds. I had to pay one girls wages for a week as I hurt her so bad! I think I slipped a boot into her lower regions, and she caught the toe!"
She told me she got up early that morning to see if I'd added the new segments of the strip - and she loved them. Many things she suggested for the story I simply could not add... even I have limits!
I might add again that I had plenty of female teachers in my past (tennis again) that when they found out about what I was writing (females in the military fiction) and that a few parts were slightly steamy (it is life after all) they would huff and puff at me, make up things behind my back, while all the time one of them was regularly proof reading my growing novel and could not get enough of it...
You simply can't win sometimes...
I think a lot of virtue-signalling come into it - and more so these days!
I still don't want... (forgot her name) ... getting upset though... You sometimes are not aware of things that might have happened in peoples pasts...
