Rules of fighting: girls?

as do i.....but there are advantages to being female that i find a blessing.
I would rather be weaker and be able to give birth. i see it as an equal trade off.
Plus a mother fighting for her cub is one of the deadliest creatures alive.
im not a mother yet but i have a strong maternal instinct and if it came down to my childs life on the line i believe i could kill with my bare hands

 

Of course one should always be careful, you and all men included. But it's not the same, is it? Men can take advantage of women's 'inferior' strength and that makes me feel angry and helpless.

 

i agree
but i think she was speaking more along the lines that females are prayed upon way more than men. Very rarely do men get raped in alleys or get their purses snatched....lol

 

Yes, the ability to give birth could be perceived as a strength men do not possess. But you mention animals... I wonder if females are weaker in the animal kingdom, generally...? From what I remember from nature shows they seem to be able to take on the males pretty well!

Not fair! Not fair! *stamps foot*

 

lmao
indeed it seems that way especially when a cub is involved

 

plus like musikero said a weapon is a great equalizer. I think the same goes for motherhood.

 

No, we are not the same. If we were, there'd be no men and no women. We'd be a species of hermaphrodites. We are however, equals in terms of value.

 

agreed.... thats basically the point i was trying to make. There are benefits for both sexes.

 

It is a sad fact that life is not fair. You can go on resenting life for this or you can live and fight with what you DO have. You don't have a lot of strength? Get a weapon and learn how to use it. Then develop a good strategy that greatly reduces the chances of you ever needing to use it.

 

u dont need to tell me buddy.........i carry mace . Also i had a very wise father that taught me some great tricks on how to take a man down if the situation calls for it.

 

Good for you. Weapon + tactics + strategy beats brute strength. :cheers2:

 

I appreciate your point and may do just that. But imagine a woman developing a martial arts skill and carrying a weapon and ending up being overpowered and attacked anyway? If she had been confident she could be a match for any man with those things it could add a whole different element of pain and confusion. I know we're all in agreement here, there's no real issue or need to argue but I'm just saying...

I don't go around feeling resentful, either. I accept what I am in the bigger picture. But the notion was brought up and I just knew I'd had similar feelings myself.

 

musikero do u speak tagolag <sry about the spelling>

my late husband was filipino and used the term musteeso<sp>

i just cant remember what it means

 

I wasn't just talking about martial arts skill and weaponry. I also mentioned strategy. Particularly the kind that minimizes the odds of you ever needing your MA skills and weapon. Depending on the individual's circumstances, that can mean anywhere from moving to a safer neighborhood to walking with a friend to hiring a bodyguard (obviously very few can do this).

But you're right there's no need to argue about this.

I kinda figured you wanted to express those feelings. just wanted to say that we are equal, though not the same. :cheers2:

Peace,

Musikero

 

Yup. Could it be mestizo? It means someone who has spanish blood and therefore fairer skin.

 

yes thats it. thank you.
and how do u say love because i cant remember that one either

oh i miss him so much it hurts

 

Lori, I sent you a PM just now.

 

i think if the girl thinks shes big enough to take on a man she better be prepaired to fight like one.

 

If a female is attacking a male, I think he has the right to defend himself by restraining her if possible, or escaping. 90% of the time I do not see a reason why he should attack back. That being said, I feel the same way if it is a woman on woman attack, or man on man attack.

Defense used needs to be reasonable.

 

id never hit a woman, but id shake the fuck out of her.

6'5 275 pounds.

bear hugs = my ultimate weapon.
cant hit me if my arms around around you =D
