I've never seen a woman do this so I suspect this is just your stereotype-based expectations biasing your interpretations. Peoples' memory of events are notoriously unreliable and extremely susceptible to the power of suggestion, like the suggestion that women are more prone to emotional outbursts, which is an age-old trope. http://www.theguardian.com/media/mind-your-language/2012/mar...

I have easily seen a dozen or more incidents of women doing this in public. I have only ever once seen a man do this.
I suspect the imbalance is because men prone to this behavior resort to violence privately. Strangers will step in to help a woman but not a man.
