When I was 19, I thought I was strong enough to fight off a man if I needed to. I was tall, strong (for a woman), and had weight I could throw around. I felt invincible. My boyfriend tried to explain that I was dreaming, and I needed to be careful and take care of myself. After I smugly said I could fight him off, he wrestled me to the ground and had me pinned in what felt like seconds. He wasn't even trying hard, and he was pretty lean so I actually had 30 pounds on him, easy. As I was struggling not to cry, he said "now imagine if it wasn't me, someone who cares for you and wants to keep you safe." It was so eye opening for me, and to this day I wonder how often he's saved my life with that lesson.

Why can’t society just accept that men and women are different and we balance each other out?

This is why, as a woman, I have a real problem when they lower physical requirements to allow women to become things like firefighters. If I'm injured in a burning building, I don't give a crap about workplace diversity. All I care about is that the person coming to save me is strong enough to get me out.

society is so sick that they cant accept that women are different.

I saw this at a school I worked at. A tomboy threatened and went after a boy her size. The boy threw three punches and she was out. Then her frinds went after him and received the same faite

We had a girl in my class who was an absolute bully to other girls. She was a big girl, and would regularly beat up other girls. I'll never forget her being confronted by one girls little brother. She was heavier than him and about the same height. She slapped him on the face and he proceeded to give her the worst ass kicking I've ever seen. Tbh he went overboard, knocked out multiple teeth and broke her arm, got himself arrested. But she never bullied anyone again.

"A woman is just as strong as a man!"

It was not “courageous”. Courage is doing something in spite of fear. She felt no fear, she thought she was sure to win. It wasn’t courage. It was stupidity.

It's like Tyson said, "everyone has a plan until they get punched in the face"

Just two weeks ago, my son who is 15 and goes to a special needs school, was caught in a verbal confrontation with a girl in his class who is overweight and much bigger than my son who is very slim. My son is very politically minded and hates all the woke stuff being pushed on him at school. This girl who I will call 'Karen', did not like the fact she was losing a debate about transgenderism, and got up from her chair, stormed past the two teachers and walked around to where my son was sitting and thumped him on the top of the head. My son is not violent and generally avoids fighting because he has a temper, but needless to say he got up from his chair and went rogue on this girl. When the teachers called me in to discuss the incident, I asked why the teachers allowed this girl to walk right past them, knowing what she was about to do. They replied they are not allowed to restrain, but when they asked my son why he retaliated, he gave them the perfect reply. He said, we were in a woke lesson so I treated her with proper equality...lots and lots of equality! Inside I was laughing my head off, and fair play, he was right.

This is why sports are divided by men's sports and women's.

"Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the mouth." Mike Tyson

I’m a woman and I’m laughing my head off. She didn’t do it out of COURAGE. She did it for her EGO. Now it’s crushed. The truth must be a hard pill to swallow.
