My point here is not the racial aspect of the thing, although that is certainly true, but the nature of man vs woman fights.
Back in the day, when my daughter was playing club soccer, her U-14 team would play scrimmages against the boys' U-10 team. They were thrashed every time because they couldn't cope with the raw aggression of the boys. Mind you, these were boys who were smaller and had not yet gone through puberty. The boys weren't mean, they were just boys and the girls' natural hesitations were blown away by the boys killer instincts.
In that video above, you can watch it happen for real. The guy makes a decision and acts immediately. There's no hesitation at all. You can see uncertainty in the girls' counterattacks. Not only do they press them with fear and weakness, but they use things like sweaters as weapons. They don't have a chance.
To say that women don't need men is a lie. So much of our society today is built on lies. As things break down and the law recedes, the lies become all the more obvious.
I didn't think the law was receding everywhere until wife kitteh brought to my attention some force-entry assaults and store looting sprees in our own, sleepy, little San Diego suburban paradise. Even though I blog Cassandra-warnings all the time, I didn't think it was coming here. It is and it has.
Anywho, the Truth is simple. Women need men to protect them. If they're going to get that protection, they need to make sure society is built around the concept that women are worth protecting. They're the ones that need it, so they're the ones who are going to have to make it happen. It will require them to be worthy of protection and to give men a reason to do it.
There's an old saying: men conquer and women civilize. With civilization under attack, it's becoming obvious who's going to pay the price for barbarism.

In regards to that video, I don't think it would have gone substantially differently if there were three average-sized guys suddenly attacked by a bigger guy who gave them no warning and no chance to get themselves organized. People who are not on their guard react poorly and make dumb decisions under pressure. He wasn't attacking an organized group, he was attacking three uncoordinated individuals.
ReplyDeleteThe thing I dislike about the "chivalry" concept, is it is usually presented as "the most powerful men protecting attractive women". Which means that below-average-size men, and unattractive women, are basically left to fend for themselves. And if the attractive women end up displeasing the powerful men, then suddenly their former protectors become the ones they need protection from.
People have to work together in groups if they expect to defend themselves. A big guy might be able to dominate any individual smaller guy or woman, but a group that has a plan and is prepared can take him down pretty easily. The downside is that you have to be prepared, which means that a "predatory" human can get away with sudden, savage assaults up until the group gets organized and eliminates him.
That's how it has always been. There used to be big predators who specialized in eating our ancestors, right up until the time our ancestors learned to fight back as a group. Those predators are extinct now.
Back in the day, I fought quite a bit, even if it was just in a martial arts studio. Yes, the bigger guy getting in a sucker punch would take one of you down, but the response from men is different in kind. 2-1 with guys, assuming the first is taken out, is probably bad news for the attacker. One grapples and the other sucker punches him.
ReplyDeleteThe other thing is the muscle mass. A woman instructor who was substituting for my normal instructor said that the women were never allowed to fight the men, even in sparring. The punches are that much different.
Finally, there is the sheer aggression. No guy is going to come at you with a sweater. If it's life-and-death, as this would have appeared to the victims, it's completely different fighting guys.
