Can't she go to one of those foofy women's self-defense courses and
learn how to karate chop him into submission?  Jennifer Lopez could
beat up a young, fit man, and all it took was a few weeks of personal
training!

Wait, that was a movie.

as to a female doctor, unless we're to believe that male doctors are
all kickboxers.
