Years ago, back in the mid-70’s and in the ago of the Wide World of Sports (remember that program), there was a martial arts contest between a man and woman. The woman said she could beat the man or some feminist BS. The match did not last long. What ended the match was the woman did a move, hit the guy, whereas he was knocked back a step, did a spin move and caught her on the side of the head with the heel of his foot. She went down like a sack of rocks and was knocked out. I always think of this when I see the 90 pound woman kicking arse on 10-20 physically fit men. It’s all Hollywood BS.
I was watching American ninja ,ast night, and at the start of the show, they were making a huge deal about women being as powerful and capable as the men, and bragging about how the women were gonna dominate basically. I think only two women made it the whole night. One woman was quite strong for a woman, and handled it pretty well, but she had arms like a man and was totally fit. While she was strong, she wasn’t nearly as strong as the men who breezed through the tough course.
I’m not saying there aren’t freakishly strong women out there, there certainly are, but they are the exception to the rule, not the norm by any means
Clint Eastwood had a line ‘a man’s got to know his limitations’, meaning that bragging about doing something g and actually being capable of doing it are two different things. And it’s better to know and accept one’s limitations than to get in over one’s head because of false expectations
I watch women’s mma when I’m watching the ufcbeczuse they are now putting more and more in there for some resson, and while they are certainly more fit and skilled than I am (I know my limits), they are not as strong as the men. Most of them do not punch with nearly the authority that the men do. Yes, the women’s class are tough, for women, but again, there is a reason they do not compete with the men at the highest levels. I haven’t seen a woman fighter yet that could stand I. The ring with so eine like Chuck Lidell when he was fighting, or vanderlay silva, or rampage Jackson. Some might not like this fact, but nonetheless it is a fact.
