At what stage of the brute's criminal assault on the windpipe of the small woman do you arbitrarily decree the wee lass had the legal right to resist being choked possibly to death; if ever? Perhaps when she felt she was just about to pass out? I'm sorry it is way too late for her to struggle then; the party, her life is all over, red rover! Ask that guy Floyd? Oh sorry, we can't, he's dead!
