Girls, do any of you think you could beat up a boy? What if he's a nerd?

I have this uber tough cousin, who's one of the 3 or 4 toughest girls in my school. The other day she was fighting with her little brother. I tried to pull her off of him, and she turned on me. (I think she must assume I'm a wimp Because I'm kinda nerdy & have never been in a fight.). She got in my face and was like, "come on... let's fight." She had me backed up against a bed, and then totally made me look like a punk by pushing me down onto the bed and standing over me saying "come on, get up, are you afraid to fight a girl." I got up and she pushed me down again and kept egging me on "come on, get up, let's fight." I got up a 2nd time, she finally slapped me in the face and left me alone. I admit I was pretty scared. Not only does she have the really tough rep, I know she is pretty strong. I've tried to arm wrestle her & couldn't beat her (had to settle for a draw after like 5 minutes of trying my hardest). Also, my family tells me she used to beat me up when we were really little.
a) Do you think my cousin could have beat me up if I tried to fight back? why/why not? Am I a wimp for being scared of a girl?
c) Girls, do you think you could beat up a tallish, but nerdy boy like me?
c) What makes you think so? Like how old & big (ht/wt) are you? Also, what makes you tough (sports? martial arts? gangs? have fought boys before? etc)?

a) Theres every chance your cousin could have beat you up if you had gotten into a proper fight with her, however i would never say you should fight with a girl... backing down was maybe the best idea. However if she's being highly aggressive you don't necessarily have to fight with her, Generally if a girl is being all big and tough on me and tries to pick a fight /hit me, i give her plenty of warning then i just hold her hands behind her back so she cant attack me... this way your not hitting her, but your also not being beat up.

b) im not a girl :P

c) not a girl

Sidenote - I dont think that gender should have anything to do with how tough someone is, just because your cousin is a girl it doesn't make you a wimp for backing down to her and it doesn't give her the right to attempt to hit you just because shes a girl, That right there is a prime case of sexism... she wouldn't like it if you were deliberately sexist to her..
