What is the benefit of getting beat up? Wouldn't you get more respect if you fought back?
And AXJules - thanks for the insight about this situation.

Ok well please keep in mind this year wasn't the norm, but anyway....
the benefit of getting beaten up at Powder puff is that its a one on one thing. Business is kept between the people that its between. If you don't go, a group will come after you later.
At Powder puff you do usually fight back, and it doesn't last long, just to prove you're willing to stick up for yourself.
The girls didn't fight back on the tape b/c this year was so brutal and there was a mob waiting to get them if they did. In previous years there was no violence (unless you and one girl had something to settle) and so there was nothing to fight back about.
Also, about pressing charges against every person that was there- the event is usually pretty spread out across a field. Sometimes there will be 2 or 3 circles far away from each other. So, you can have one girl fighting off by the trees where no one can see, and another circle cluelessly getting flour dumped on their heads in good fun. Obviously what the tape showed was about 60 people in one group, but there was another 2 circles of senior/junior girls just drinking with the guys off camera that weren't having anything done to them. (I'm talking like half a mile away ont he other side of the field.) They couldn't even see what was going on until it was almost over.
