say a young lady says that if a guy rubs her the wrong way she'll give him a broken nose, but once in that sutuation she lets him take advantage of her and than doesn't do anything but walk away?

I think we all believe we would act in a certain fashion but when it comes down to it, we're not always prepared to act as we hope we would.
Women think if ever faced with a rapist they would act in a certain fashion, but sometimes we just don't - can't explain it, just is what it is.

It's hard sometimes to understand why we or others behave a certain way after proclaiming that we'd act the opposite if the situation came up. You don't give a lot of details, so a lot of the answers are based on assumptions and reading between the lines. I'm not sure if you're upset with a friend because you had a conversation about a male and she went along with your perspective, saying she'd never tolerate any crap from him, then did nothing when he acted the way you said he would. There is a perception sometimes among young people, that if they do anything to negatively affect someone's perception of them, i.e. a certain boy, then, because he's "popular" or "cute" or any one of 10 other things, no one will believe he was a "jerk". If this is a friend of yours, help her be strong, and let her know that you'll support her if she is strong, and be there for her if she's weak. If a crime was committed, (rape, assault, etc..) you absolutely must tell someone. Guys who act that way need not to be able to do it to anyone else. (Ask her how she'd feel if her sister was next because no one spoke up about him).
Good Luck

Sometimes it seems like we need to come across as tough on the outside, but when faced with the situation, sometimes our inner strengths become weak. Dont doubt what you did, use this as a experience to prepare yourself for another simular situation that may arise. NEVER DOUBT YOURSELF!

It's just how women are some times. We like to seem tough and in control.
