I kind of agree to this to a point, but a man would probably have no problem fighting off the girl while a woman would.
A woman would be involved in a fight that would make it manslaughter, while a man would most likely just over power her without having to choke her to death.
Sex shouldn't play a role in a lot of cases but it is sometimes warranted.
