You are talking in scriptural terms but I think the others talking more in terms of social terms, yes what you say is true although there are exceptions like Parashurama, but here we are talking in today's times where many Brahmins as a social group have taken to a variety of professions, if that is the case then they can and should learn to stand up for themselves.
And Brahmins produced some excellent warriors like Baji Rao.
