Having four sisters, four sisters-in-law, tens of female cousins, nices, spouses of cousins, a number of female friends, female acquaintances, many female students, aunts (including one specially close aunt), a mom, and a wife, it's been my observation that women have to be pushed to the absolute limit, and beyond, before they react aggressively. And although the response may be characterized as aggressive, it is typically communicated in a more measured fashion than when it's communicated by their male counterparts.
Regrettably, it's usually we, men, who tend to over-react and who frequently unleash "shock and awe," against women (especially in societies where marginalization of women is systemic). Most often, men do so for no good reason, or for no reason at all, except to assert a vague valuation of their manhood (or lack thereof).
