I've heard this this when I was growing up but not so much now. Times have changed . I used to at similar things in my twenties but I don't say it now especially as women are coming into their own power. I know there are men who don't like this and wiry that men are becoming less masculine. I just don't see it.
Lol if I didn't hang out at the skating rink where teens where being shot, then there was no way I would hang out as an adult where asks get shot. I mostly did the club thing in areas where being shot was a low risk compared to other clubs.
Almost 40 years ago, I was one of the original members of the Baltimore chapter of the Guardian Angels. After the guys who came to Baltimore to train us moved on, the chapter ended up under the command of a young lady named (if my memory isn't failing me after all these years) Cissy Henson. She was short, black, built like a Sumo wrestler, and would scrap and spar with any guy in the club.
My dad taught me to be kind my mom taught me to be cruel. I would like to see more black women in martial arts, but I don't think that will happen until MMA gets it black female warrior who dominates. That's when things will really get crazy. Lol
Yes.
I used to somewhat regularly kumite with Marriett Buck. She told some students that in a real fight I'd beat her because of strength but I think she was being very generous. I wouldn't bet on me to win. When I was teaching I had a young woman student that had sevetral older brothers. She was solidly built and very strong. She was tough as nails and learned very quickly, she had a punch like Mike Tyson and I'm pretty sure that she could more than hold her own against most men. I'm sure that if either of these woman wanted to fight, I'd have to use all of my skills to save my ***.
Do you mean again? Yep, sure have, and will again if the circumstances warrant it. Seen too many guys hurt seriously by women claiming to be "ladies" while they try to gouge your eyes out. Having a uterus doesn't give you a pass, and on the job, I had one rule with women. As long as you act like one you will be treated like one." If you "man up" on me the rules shifts to just another suspect.
Some women can develop significant strength training and can hit very hard, but that is not where the fight is won or lost. She might be able to punch as hard as some men, but she can't take the same punch and punishment that most men can.
Yes. ‘Equality‘ demands equal treatment.
Even though I am a woman I feel if a woman is coming at you to attack then there is no reason not to protect yourself, When I was in Karate I was taught there was no gender only how to protect yourself. I was taught how to do as much damage as possible to get away with little force. If a man or a woman was coming at me I am going to protect myself no matter what gender they are.
Yeah, I'm sure. A minuscule number of women who train professionally to fight in the ring are not the norm, and your logic is flawed. But if you want to go that route, consider this. Take two average people, one female, and one male. Let them both train the same for an equal amount of time, and then answer the question. There's a reason women do not compete against men in combat sports. Now if you want to take that same trained woman and go find some weak male who is not athletic and plays video games all the time after work, you MIGHT have an argument.
To a point. There are many aspects to using force justifiable, legal, moral, preferences, tactical. In one situation I might be willing to take some "damage" and in another zero damage.
"I'm pretty sure there a quite a few women out there who take a hit better than most men. Some of them do it on a regular basis in competitions."
Ever heard of it’s the quiet ones you got to watch, when facing an unknown attacker you can’t tell what they are bringing, guy down the street from me is 63 skinny and not tall, but he’s an ex royal marine. Overconfidence will get you messed up
