Mothers are said to be fierce when their children are in harm's way, but I think that the image of the 'mamma bear' is sexist, on both sides. Most of us, men and women alike, have an instinct to protect all of those whom we care about (James Murdoch, Mr. Murdoch's son also jumped up to intervene, but Ms. Murdoch got there first). Of course that instinct may vary in intensity, depending on personality. " z. m' t+ K+ }* }5 {6 x5 B0 z* `% ]- O$ X6 O9 ^
My intensity tends to be pretty high, but I'm usually able to keep this hidden, especially at work where a quick temper and finger wagging just aren't appropriate. But cross someone I care about and you'd better duck. Or better yet, run. My husband, on the other hand, has a higher threshold for offences and gets quite embarrassed if I do something that he sees as overly aggressive. Though I know if someone were to do something he felt was particularly egregious in regard to our family he, too, would spring into action. 9 E- s) I% V: `) s+ H: v4 X) `+ {/ a9 i0 |( H* H7 ]% `( K- p9 W

Our movie had just let out and a group of boys in their late teens was throwing candy at people in the parking lot. My husband and I got zonked with some hard candy and I burst out Bruce Banner/Hulk style. There was yelling, finger wagging, head swerving; the works. As I approached the boys in my rage my husband started to pull me back and toward our car. / f0 ^0 {4 R4 P/ ]$ n , D% v' X+ y: T; E/ WAt the end of the day, nobody got hurt and my husband maintains I overreacted.

Still, I can't help but admire Ms. Murdoch for leaping into the thick of the action to defend her 80-year old husband. I would absolutely have done the same had I been in her shoes. Would you? ! b. Y: Z e0 S. K" c/ r1 \8 ]2 v2 E5 B) n$ X% M; j
