I was almost never born.

[dai13sy]

[Arkansas Granny]

[50 Shades Of Blue]

[Deep State Witch]

I defend my husband from wasps and hornets.

[rickyhall]

11. I hate mieces to pieces.

[hlthe2b]

12. I've stepped in to save a poor terrified MAN or two from dogs... (none which were aggressive)

--which always had me wondering about those with irrational fears, though most certainly not limited to a single gender.

[Skittles]

14. this makes me laugh every time I think about it

a coworker was late to work because his gay sister called him screaming about a spider......he said, it's ridiculous, her girlfriend could kick my ass but she can't take care of a spider?

[BlackSkimmer]

37. Wtf with the need to bring sexual orientation into it?

Stereotype much?

I’m a gay woman. Never needed a male to take care of a bug for me. Wow.

[PJMcK]

15. A Republican (n/t)

[LakeArenal]

16. Large wasps. He gets rid of them at night so I don't have to.

[hlthe2b]

22. Reminds me of my late uncle who told my "just-stung" aunt that she needed to go clear the nest...

because in his words, "no since anyone else getting stung as well!"

(I used to love his dry sense of humor, but I was a bit worried my aunt was going to kill HIM! )

[róisín_dubh]

19. Other men and spiders.

The spiders probably aren't deadly, but I don't stick around to ask.

[Aristus]

20. I've never been known for my death-defying fearlessness.

But one time, Mrs. Aristus and I were walking along the local public bike path, when a large dog came charging at us from his owner's back yard, barking up a storm. I can barely remember what happened then, but Mrs. Aristus says I jumped in front of her and picked up a large rock, preparing to bash the dog if I had to.

The dog backpedaled to an abrupt stop, waited there for a second, and then loped off home. Mrs. A has called it her "My hero!" moment ever since then.

I can only imagine what the dog might have done if we had stepped off the public path and on to his owner's property.

[luvs2sing]

21. Well, there was this giant water bug..

that my cat dropped in between Hubster and I during a..delicate moment..

[snowybirdie]

23. None

We "ladies' are able to defend ourselves against animals quite nicely. Humans are another thing all together though

[ProfessorGAC]

25. I Once Defended My Wife From A...

...red winged blackbird in our yard.
It was death defying!
Actually, I just pulled her sideways and swatted at the bird with a gardening glove.
I caught the tip of the wing and the bird bolted.
There was a nest with eggs in the ornamental where she was planting marigolds. (I was mulching.)
About a week later the eggs hatched. A few weeks after that, I knocked the empty nest out of the bush. Birds never came back.
It was truly heroic!

[LakeArenal]

27. This reminds me....

My brother and I were walking to the garage when a Raven landed on his shoulder. Bird says: Hello stupid. and flew away. What a great moment.

[ProfessorGAC]

29. Terrifying!

You & your brother must be as heroic as I am!

[LakeArenal]

30. 💪🏼🤜🏻👊🏻🤛🏼....

[Walleye]

28. My cat is male, and he's pretty big,does he count?he's killed a few mice for me

[Xolodno]

32. I protected my wife from a mouse in a hotel room.

We got a new room.

Oh and a garden snake that some how got in, poor guy was probably terrified of our cat as he had him cornered. But I didn't defend her, male neighbor was home and scooped him up with a bucket and released him outside in a vacant area. The cat was mad.

But I have saved my wife's life a couple of times.

[OhZone]

33. My brother protected me from Dad once when Dad was drunk.

[meadowlander]

34. I didn't ask but my brother once stopped a kitten from eating my mashed potatoes.

Oh, and I guess I called my landlord once about a rat problem if that counts.

[csziggy]

35. None, but my husband rescued me a number of times after I was injured by my horses

Several concussions, almost broke my thumb, and more. Eve overcame his phobia about blood when I badly cut my hand and took me to the doctor for stitches.

He's a great nurse, too - unlike me since I nearly let him die of a burst appendix.

[Blaukraut]

36. Maggots in our trash can. That was disgusting n/t

[Bettie]

38. An excessively enthusiastic dog?

No, wait, that was him butting in front of me to pet the pupper first.

Bats. When they get in the house, he captures and releases them while I cower under a blanket. Yes, I'm a chicken. Cluck Cluck.

[Cadfael]

39. A centipede

[haele]

40. I'm always protecting my spouse from spiders..

Oh, wait -the man is supposed to protect me?
Hmmm,

[Solly Mack]

41. Nothing comes to mind.

[xmas74]

42. A bull rider

I wish I was joking.

[llmart]

43. The responses in this thread are just cracking me up!

I'm trying to think of a time in all my 72 years on this earth when a man protected me from anything.

Hmmm.......give me a couple of weeks and maybe, just maybe I can come up with something, but right now - I got nothin'!

[milestogo]

44. I have had men help me change a flat tire when I didn't know how.

So I guess that's a case of good men protecting you from potentially bad men.

[llmart]

46. I've only had a flat tire once in my life...

and I just called Triple A. The car was parked in my garage.

Seems like the answer most often given is "another man", so your answer would fit in that category.

[honest.abe]

45. I chased away a raccoon from our camp site last year in the middle of night.

Not sure if it the creature had lethal intentions or not but my wife appreciated it.

[I_UndergroundPanther]

47. My orange polydactal male cat

Pobegan,stalked my sister and freaked her out when she came in the house when nobody was home yet.

He was really protective of me.

He's gone over the bridge decades ago.
