Yeah. Small men can be deadly. But small women? I doubt it. Even small men have bone density and upper body strength that women just cannot match. My step-dad is 5'5". He's 73. He's a former Marine who works out and jogs every day. I absolutely would not advise even Serena Williams to mess with him.
Women have weapons, but they aren't in the brute strength category.
Food for thought.
RE: I absolutely would not advise even Serena Williams to mess with him.
Gruesome thought: a man attacked by Serena Williams and Hillary Clinton, each crushing the life out of him between their massive thighs. Have to unthink it.
