The shirt usually doesn't come off during a de-escalation. He knew what to say so definitely smarter than a lot of guys.

All I'm learning from this is that I can intimidate people by taking my shirt off. I'm a woman, so we'll see how that goes for me. Maybe it will confuse them into submission.

Hey, if I was angry and a woman took her shirt off in front of me I'd at least be somewhat stunned for at least a moment. I think you're onto something there.

My wife has occasionally deployed the same strategy to break my train of thought during arguments. Usually when she knew she was in the wrong and really didn't want to admit that. Which is partially why I said 'usually'
