Sorry to pull just this sentence but to answer it no i would not. If I was to say be walking into a store, and a guy was walking out the door at the same time, and he and my wife happened to run into each other and he calls my wife a cunt. I might say something to the guy, like just a simple fuck off, and kept walking, but I would not have stood up to him. I assume by standing up to him you mean get up in his face and escalate the issue.
When i hit adulthood I quickly came to realize that there are consequences for my actions. If i get all up in the dudes face and we end up slugging it out, it proofs what? my wife is not a cunt? i am a man for defending her "honor" from a total stranger we'll never see again?
No it would prove I am probably just as retarded as the guy shouting the insult, and i might be going to jail, possibly losing my job and my lovely home....having my kids ask "were's daddy". I don't think I could be married to a woman who would want me to defend her good name in his fashion. And who is that senstive. Seems very 4th grade to me.
I get more pleasure knowing that i am ahead, than seeing a scoreboard reflect it.

remember, "sticks and stones may break my bones, but names will never hurt me"
