A long article. I did not post all of it, but it is all a good read.

Short version: progressive women are devious and mostly crazy. When given power they are dangerously psychopathic.

Left-wing, communist (not progressive) “females” are crazier than a *hit house rat.

From Orwell's 1984

"...Winston had disliked her from the very first moment of seeing her. He knew the reason. It was because of the atmosphere of hockey−fields and cold baths and community hikes and general clean−mindedness which she managed to carry about with her. He disliked nearly all women, and especially the young and pretty ones. It was always the women, and above all the young ones, who were the most bigoted adherents of the Party, the swallowers of slogans, the amateur spies and nosers−out of unorthodoxy..."

IOW, Karens.

“Toughness is an advantageous trait in this context—hence the popularity of female boxing classes and sweat-drenched gym workouts.”

Female boxing isn’t all that popular, and most young women are at the gym to improve their appearance for attracting men.

I don’t subscribe to that, but it is undeniable that females seem very much to be at the forefront of Leftist policies, and I don’t think that is an accident...

People learn three two ways:

Education
Experience

By definition, the education of young people is INCOMPLETE
By definition, the experience of young people is LIMITED

These people know absolutely nothing and are guided soley by their emotion. Like drunks, mentally challenged or children, they only know ...

* What I WANT
* What I FEEL

You cannot make decisions worth a da*n on that basis

Exactly. They are completely lacking in self-worth or esteem and struggle with mental illness. I think a lot of it is caused from growing up in the age of social media.

I have seen it first hand with my daughter and most of her peer group. It’s been a long battle, but we are starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel.

With all due respect to the conservative women here on FreeRepublic, young women tend to “feel” about an issue, rather than “think” about an issue.

Add to that the fact that the women in colleges and universities around the country have spent years and years being brainwashed by their evil teachers.

Because they are young and dumb and full of _ _ _ _. They in turn attract the goof balls who can’t attract women in any normal way. When I see pictures of the protesters I see a bunch of people with no life. They latch onto the protest to escape the boredom of their lives. It doesn’t matter if they support terrorists who would kill them. I remember an old song about all the lonesome losers.

I see women boxing, and if they are doing it for simple physical conditioning, I suppose that is as good as anything, and probably fun too, since it looks like an avenue for working out tensions.

But when I see a woman boxing, trying to look tough, and people building it up, I regard it as stupidity. If she tries that on a guy, she might get lucky, but more likely, she is going to be in trouble when she finds out it isn’t how they show it in the movies.

Boxing skills learned in a gym for the purposes of conditioning are one thing. Boxing skills learned in a gym for “toughness” or self-defense is stupidity.

If a female wants self defense, she should have instruction on defensive tactics that work, like specific defensive techniques or even possibly grappling, not boxing. I see the things where they show a woman gritting her teeth working on a heavy bag, looking like Rocky Balboa, and I can’t think of a stupider thing.

Because it is an easy way to feel powerful and they crave attention. The cause doesn’t matter; what attracts them is the chance to act out and impress themselves with their “strength and daring”. The feeling is like a drug and they are not easily weaned off it.

Even better, get a conceal carry license and learn how to use a firearm effectively.

Young ‘gay’ women. Why do they hate Jews?

The number of women boxing is dwarfed by those simply going to the gym. And those at the gym are their for health and to improve their appearance. The writer is in her latter 70s and apparently not that in touch with the demographic.

There are two kinds of leftists: the ignorant, and the ideologues.

Ignorance is easily corrected.

Ideologues need an epiphany.

The ignorant would benefit from patience.

If these young women are merely ignorant, then I’d counsel patience.

And I say that as someone who used to be a five alarm flaming leftist, one of the ignorant variety.
