Can women beat a man?

[Oily Dragon]

I'm a bleeding heart, I guess. I can't get past the cruelty to the chimpanzee in any of these comments about pitting humans against them. I'll leave that to the rest of you.

Right?

Like, how did chimps get arm dragged into this ridiculous waste of internet time.

Poor things never start street fights.

 

[Steve]

This thread is dumb.

Yes! But as long as folks are having fun.

Would it make things better if we add that the chimps get a reward of their favorite fruit for each win? And also have the choice to refuse and pass the opportunity to a different chimp?

Okay, now we're dipping into what could be a very funny Monty Python style sketch. In spite of myself, you're winning me over.

Has anyone here? I'm throwing out hypotheticals, as opposed to absolutes.

The topic itself could be said to be a rhetorical, hypothetical question...

As noted by recent controversies surrounding transgendered in women's sports...lots of real world and Scientific analysis to show it might not be a good idea...for most...women to engage in this...

even in Chess.

"The world’s top chess federation has ruled that transgender women cannot compete in its official events for women until its officials make an assessment of gender change."

I'm not understanding the flack about the discussion being a waste of time. This is message board about a frickin' hobby. Even if we discussed something serious or important, I doubt anyone here is a high profile enough mover & shaker to change anything in the world. We're just here to have fun, folks.

This statement assumes that unarmed humans are capable of inflicting pain on higher levels than mere annoyance on chimpanzees. Something I seriously doubt.

It's a dumb discussion though, and it's Friday mornin, and life is too short.

There are a million more interesting things we could be BSing about that have actual value.

The OP is a troll in case you missed it.

Hey, good news. I found a documentary online:

I'm enjoying it. Anyone's fine making a new thread, about a more serious topic if they want, but this seems better to me than falling for the initial trolls post.

Having retired from the military serving in mechanized infantry units while many of the changes trying to introduce women into combat MOS's were starting to be introduced based on what seemed to be ideology not reality based construct.
Many long-term studies, documenting and illustrating why it was never a good idea.

Have my own biases relating to this topic..
still maintain an open mind..

Not to say someone well trained cannot make up for other natural advantages ie a well trained small person against a large untrained person..



A real world example of what happens in modern warfare

The best in hell

hopefully some of the young guys here will get a chance to serve, test themselves with a near peer enemy.
real time, instead of video games ..

You should watch the movie Atomic Blonde. I think it's up your alley. Lots of fighting and Cold War stuff.

Women, imho, make the best assassins. Men are weak.

Ah, the "femme fatale" trope.

no need, was in the cold war directly...green machine

stationed in Baumholder Germany, commonly called the a--hole of Germany at the time it was ,,,during the 70s

1/39inf mech

a little off topic, how things have changed....
the US public in gen, has little understanding about the capabilities of the US military versus near peer adversaries.
Not good....more so because of current culture war going on within the US...also losing

War has a way of answering a lot of questions, reality based...

A tip of the hat to "manlee" for getting this ball rolling.

I'm not sure that most men would fall for a femme fatale. I think the average man would be extremely suspicious if a woman who was out of his league starting coming on to him.

Yeah, you would definitely love Atomic Blonde.

Fastest way to a man's heart is through his stomach, but the fastest way through it?

An atomic blonde.

At least, it works against me, and I'm pretty well trained.

Imagine a well trained blonde female chimp. Woof.
