bro-ing and nothingness: an essay on phenomenological ontology

Since my life is relatively uninteresting, allow me to share some philosophical questions that have to do, more or less, with the lives of fascinating friends. First: consider a scrappy young woman with a propensity for gin and a penchant for righting wrongs with her fist. Said young woman was provoked by a young man of questionable character (and consciousness), who refused to share his (now personally unneeded) beer stash, and who, much later, was revealed to be deaf. While beating up the handicapped is generally frowned upon, I have to assume that, at this point in the young man's life, he has managed to correct his hearing problem with aids and should know better than to act like a drunk asshole. The question, though, is whether or not the young lady's reaction was inappropriate, considering the culture behind alcohol-related violence. Would this have unintentionally involved her friends, forcing them to come to her defense simply because she is a woman? Is it unfair that men are typically treated much more harshly for physically retaliating to a woman's violence? I have never been involved in any physical altercation in this way and would love a little insight.

Second: consider a proper young woman of the creative and well-bred variety. Would it be totally inappropriate for her to pursue a relationship with a man most might describe as a "dude" or "bro?" His poor fashion sense, relatively simple-minded outlook, and enjoyment of sports seemingly have no place in the life of a lady known for literary insight, impeccable style, and adoration for thin, arty, and bespectacled Amherst graduates, however, it seems the intellectual stimulus necessary for the woman's general happiness might be adequately fulfilled by friends and a career. This "dude" might be the perfect financial supporter for those with creative folly, though money is merely the beginning of his potential offerings: the ability to let loose around him, the obvious "throw-down" factor these boys normally possess in the bedroom, and the fun of slowly molding his behavior for the better. The questions then become, "Will the embarrassment simply be insufferable?" and "When attempting to help him become a gentleman, how far can you go before he feels inadequate and frustrated?"

Important life questions everyone must ponder in pursuit of a master's in duderonomy. That, or, I need something actually interesting to happen to me.
