Well put
Anecdotally I have a mid 30’s female relative who trained in ballet into her mid teens, then yoga and was instructor for 10+ years, did CrossFit and not hardcore Pilates-she’s not big about5’5” and 120 but probably in the top 1% as far as strength by size -and has no illusions that she is super powerful or remotely capable of competing with even an older man of similar size, much less someone larger
The media and Hollywood delusions infesting people’s minds is eventually going to lead to some hard disappointments
I am heartened when I meet a woman who understands this distinction and doesn’t characterize me as a misogynist or a sexist when I state an obvious fact which is not a “consensus” but an actual, provable fact. Reality will not disguise that fact.
I rarely have anyone on this site challenge me on this, I presume it is politically incorrect to even engage in the discussion of this if you disagree.
But when men and women engage in sports the truth cannot be avoided, even if we can direct our gaze somewhere else. And after we put females in combat roles, we won’t be able to hide from that reality either...and we won’t be able to look away, either.
And the people who pushed it will be nowhere to be found.
It is amazing how many, young women especially but even some older, think they can do more than annoy a typical male in a direct physical confrontation, while being completely overmatched.
I’ve seen a few specific young women that have caught a guy doing dumb stuff by surprise and did some damage before things came to a halt - but in any of those cases if the guy decided it was worthwhile to continue it would have been all over fast the other direction.
