This is essentially the caveman approach. You take my meat, I hit you with my club, ooga booga. If you have a bigger club and hit me first, oh well. We tried this approach as a species for quite some time.

No, it's asserting a boundary as a last resort. The pattern is deescalate, escape, evade. But if these aren't possible, it's time for self-protection since, "When seconds count, cops are minutes away." But if you want to stand there and do nothing, have fun.
