Can women beat a man?

Mice share 90% of our DNA, so I'm not going to use that as a measuring stick to gauge how I should feel about a particular animal.
As you please, they (mice and chimps) have borne the brunt of medical experiments during our lifetime and deserve some respect in my opinion. I have had ā€œtalksā€ with Jeff the chimp in sign language where he told me he wanted to go home. Just writing this memory brought a tears to my eyes. Itā€™s hard for me to imagine that wouldnā€™t change your perspective had you had that same experience.
 
Which a chimp can lift. A male chimp can lift 1,200 pounds.
So can a human, that's actually the record I believe, for a deadlift.

It would really depend on the exact human and exact animal.

Take one look at kangaroos, one of nature's most elite fighting animal. Taught kickboxing from birth.

You or I could win a fight against the lower skilled kangaroos, and they are still pretty big and strong, but the alpha kangaroos would shred any of them or us. And own the court.

Case by case basis. There are people who can wrestle alligators. They can weigh up to a 1000 lbs, and are basically dinosaurs.

DNA. Lol.

Yeah, but their cardiovascular endurance would be that of a sedentary human at best. Any significant cardio training would take away the calories that their muscles would need in order to develop that kind of strength. I wouldn't dare put such person on the same level as a chimpanzee.

What I'm curious about is everyone's thoughts on the minimum weaponry necessary for a healthy adult male human to successfully beat a chimp.
My choice of weapon would be another chimp that was fond of me. Or perhaps a Silverback.
Alternatively, a supply of the chimps favorite snack food liberally laced with a sedative.

The odds of ever getting attacked by a chimp are pretty slim, but not exactly zero. There was the Travis incident where the owner's friend was attacked. But there could have been an incident where someone who keeps a pet chimp leaves the door unlocked and the chimp gets out. And you happen to be on the sidewalk right in front of the house as soon as it gets out.

Running is not an option. You cannot outrun a chimp. You can't climb anything to get away the same way you would if a dog were chasing you, because chimps are vastly superior to humans at climbing.

If you had a regular spring assisted knife, do you think you'd be able to fight off the chimp with it? What about an extendable baton? Is it possible to defeat a chimp with anything less than a firearm?
Yes, your brain. In my somewhat limited experience, If you brandish an object at captive chimps, (I have zero experience with wild chimps) they will attempt to take that object from you. I knew a man named Bob Dunn who was an animal trainer that worked with chimps. He told me a story about brandishing a peacock feather in a confrontation with a chimp because while the chimp realizes that you have a tool, he canā€™t conceive the efficacy of the tool until he is shown how to use it. I wouldnā€™t bet my thumbs, nuts, or face on it working but hey, itā€™s better than nothing. Bob had ā€œBubblesā€ Michael Jacksonā€™s chimp. Bob claimed that Bubbles was the most dangerous chimp he had ever seen. No one but Bob could get near him and even Bob would not dare go into the enclosure with Bubbles. I have personally been manhandled by two 2 year old chimps and I can tell you that even being climbed by one changes your perception of grip strength.
 
A gentle Moderation Reminder...

Thread drift happens, and, especially when it dodges a bullet on a rubbish initial post like this one, can even be a good thing. That said, please remember that The Rules still apply and posts should be respectful and polite.

Since I'm only getting "transcendent" type of answers, I think I'll rule out melee weapons. This is based on the fact that, just like humans can can trip over things when they're walking and not paying attention, chimps probably have plenty of accidents of their own when swinging branches, and their bodies are likely built to withstand falls from trees. So whacking a chimp with a blunt object isn't likely to help much. It would likely have to be some sort of cutting weapon.
 
Well I think it's safe to conclude a few thing.

Female humans are not chimps.

Humans have a couple advantages over chimps, but they really need to step up their bionics and exoskeleton game to even the odds against chimps. Andrew Oberle is leading the way on this, so we're just getting started (never cross the DMZ alone, dude).

This thread topic is still dumb.
 
In my first year of BJJ I have to be honest, I did not get tapped by a woman. And she was a belt above me, I relied on my strength at the time though, technically she beat me.
 
So which one of these is the correct statement?
Let me rephrase, her technical skills were better than mine, but she wasn't able to tap me, so I guess I didn't lose.
EDIT: this lady is the one who came close, the white belt ladies did not fair well. And might I also add, I was not able to tap her in this period of my training either.
