This is actually not true for upper body and grip strength, unless you are in the weakest 1% of men. There is almost no overlap between men and women on these parameters. The strongest women are weaker than the weakest men in almost all cases.

That's why I said it's almost statistically zero that an average healthy/slightly unhealthy man gets his arse kicked by a woman.

I trained MMA for awhile....I am no bad arse, was not good at it and did it just for the exercise........that said, I could muster several women in my local gym that would frick you up.

No kid, you could not....

I'm not going to post my resume' because this is the Internet so it's stupid and pointless, but no, in a real fight, you could not muster ONE woman who could beat my arse as I am neither old or in a wheelchair.

I can't help it that you're a puzzy that happens to be a statistical anomaly, but I would suspect that you're simply white knighting in an attempt to be edgy and cool.

Remember when there were people who ACTUALLY THOUGHT that Ronda Rousey could beat Floyd Mayweather in a fight? And then Rousey goes on to get beat by another woman :womp womp:

Yeah, this isn't Charlie's Angels where 110-lb hot chicks beat up linebacker-sized henchmen. Welcome the the real world.

To quote Monty Python's Holy Grail, "it's not a question of where it grips it, it's a simple question of weight ratios."

Women have no place in combat. This is a terrible idea that is being pushed for purely political reasons. And in defiance of basic biology.

It makes us less capable and it will get men and women killed.

I’m 52 years old and in pretty good shape, and I’m gonna call bullshite on this.

Maybe some chick that’s a master in submission holds, but I’m gonna be easily 2 or 3 times stronger than her, and I doubt they could take a couple of punches to the face or stomach from me.

A woman fighting a male of average or above a average strength and abilities is akin to an average male fighting an adult male chimpanzee. They’d both get rekt.

No, I only know one.

I could begin a thread asking how many dope slingers the OT knows and I bet you’d be the #1 seed to know the most.

I'm hand to hand combat, I agree with you, but there are plenty of women that are plenty strong enough to do what they need to do to be special forces.



This chick just clean and jerked 270 lbs at 135 lbs a couple of weeks ago.

Pure brute strength, sure. But that isn’t all there is to doing something that job. Not by a long shot.
