as if women are somehow magically incapable defending themselves.
- jMyles 12y agoIt's not magic: Given a large, random sample of self-identified 'men' and 'women', pitting them against each other in one-to-one unarmed combat, the men will win an overwhelming majority of the time. I enjoy working with women who are trained in self-defense - I have a female friend who has a devastatingly strong and quick round kick to the jaw. However, as with most people, most women aren't. This is a great organization mobilizing around this topic (although their website is sorta crap): http://www.2asisters.org/ http://www.2asisters.org/
- hga 12y agoThere's "misogyny", and then there's gross ignorance of human physiology. Unless you deny that compared to men, women have substantially less muscle mass and therefore in combat are severely disadvantaged, "relatively" less "strong", when denied a weapon that doesn't depend on that? Which all things being equal, if you care about effectiveness, is limited to a firearm.
