*shrugs*

no matter who the ppl involved - the questions are the same if the defendant claims self-defense...did s/he REASONABLY believe s/he needed to defend her/himself against an imminent battery. if so, did s/he use REASONABLE force in defending her/himself?

in deciding whether the defendant acted reasonably the jury would be asked what a reasonable person would do if they were in the defendant's place given all of the circumstances the defendant faced. the complaining witness's demographics are part of the analysis - including gender, height, weight, perceived strength, perceived physical capability, et al. and yes, all of that info would be compared against the defendant's.

cry all you want about how unfair this is for men. too bad.
