Yes, it is a martial art. It should be kept alive and practiced carefully.@@@@

Perhaps time for an NFA? Don’t know how this was missed after the Revolutionary War to keep alive the requisite skills necessary for great swordsmanship!

Cool sport, i suspect limited opportunities.

OUR right or HIS right? They’re both rather attractive and I have a choice to make.

Naah; I checked on Gout and found her to be quite homely. These Wisconsin Hockey ladies are quite lovely.

What a college fencing team thinks about Trump's handling of gender issues is totally crucial.

Thanks for posting this.

"...conditions women and minority gender identities to be silent." ??? The POTUS doesn't concern himself with opinions from individuals. He deals with state and foreign policy. These idiots think Trump is Gandhi. Trump recognizes (2) gender identities, XX & YX. Anyone identifying beyond that which they were born with... NOBODY CARES! Live your chosen freak/psychosis life and leave the rest of us alone.

I fenced in High School. It’s a serious strenuous sport.

A heck of a lot of fun, too.

I completely disagree. I fenced for an Ivy League school. The men on our team were, to a man, straight (my mom was a professional dancer so I have a very well developed gaydar).

My late husband, who was about as straight as it is possible for a man to be (and Army ROTC, active and then Reserves, rifle team, combat pistol, competitive skeet shooter, and dart team captain extraordinaire) was a fencer with the Atlanta Fencers' Club (Gene Gettler, Maitre d'armes). The whole lot of them were just ordinary American males.

Don't go slinging names just because a couple of idiot kids at Columbia decide to act in an immature and discourteous way. Their professors encourage it.

Women and “minority gender identities”?

Since there are slightly more women than there are men, that makes men the only minority gender identity.

Since when are fencers concerned about proper grammar?

It looks like this girl is arguing mentally ill men and scammers should be able to claim to be girls so they can win ... never mind the privacy rights of other women in the locker room or the risk they’ll be raped by men using the showers.

This is how misplaced compassion enables evil.
