In your country/culture, are young women, say 16 - 25-year-olds, as aggressive as men when on a night out? Do such women for example, get into fights as readily and commonly as men in your country/culture do?

Lacking the y chromosome does seem to provide something of a buffer, but it's not foolproof. Booze raises aggression (or lowers pacificity) regardless of gender.

As for women actually resorting to fisticuffs, unfortunately it's not as common. Sad Which is a shame because it's damned fun to watch a good hen fight.

Particularly when clothes get sundered, and that which was previously left somewhat to the imagination is blatantly obvious. Shocked

We built a small fishpond by the house a few years ago, of our own design, but that didn't stop me from appreciating the natural attraction of all the other lakes, rivers, aquariums, and oceans.

Rather, I'd say it heightened my appreciation for the uniqueness in the myriad of natural design and varieties Mother Nature exhibits.

Kind of "I may be on a diet but I can still look at the menu" type thing, right?

Something like that.

As an aside, speaking of aggressive females.

I love the guy to the right who just ignores them both, and concentrates on his meter reading. Smart man.

It was totally random, it just happened to appear when I checked some news. I just chose it as an example that even some women don't need to be drinking to be aggressive.

Presumably they were sober. But then, maybe not, and that's why milk n' donuts was driving 'slow'.

BAC aside, it'd have to be a hell of a sight to watch. Unless I was in the middle like the poor bloke with the meter. He was too close to enjoy it, or even smirk. He knew they'd temporarily unite and smite him if he dared, before resolving their differences.
