I boxed in my late teens and early 20s..maybe 23 or 24.
I put on some weight by 30.
Women in Manhattan used to challenge me to arm wrestles, weight lifting and even fights :)
I did the arm wrestle..of course I didn’t hurt her..but it actually felt like my hand was holding air.
The one that told me she knew karate and wanted to fight me...I punched a piece of the wall off in the elevator lobby we were in...she changed her mind.
Even my own sister lost her mind and had been working out and challenged me to weight lifting contest.
I threw 200 pounds into the air on the bench...far from my highest...and that ended that nonsense.
Women have so much power, but it’s not in their fists...or at least rarely.
A few women almost destroyed me..and they didn’t hit me once :)
That’s telling that her hand felt like holding air! What strength! And yet too many in authority feel it’s fine to let biological males compete in women’s sports.
I wonder sometimes how wise it is to even have female police officers working patrols because they can come across some mean drugged up thugs, and an interaction can end up being a hand-to-hand struggle to make the arrest.
