Misogyny in martial arts By harlan - 04-08-2008 09:08 AM
=========
As an 'old beginner', and a private student, I've little 'real world' experience with martial arts. I'm just peeking out of my little box, and the internet has provided about 90% of my understanding of what is 'out there'. I'm aware of the problem inherent in this, but have a question for the old-timers, and other women that train.
From my interactions with individuals on the internet, and reading articles, etc. it seems to me that 'hard training' often sanctions 'hard attitudes'. This mantra can sanction all kinds of abuse and anti-social behaviour. From your experience, have you ever had to deal with misogynist driven behavior in your training?
thank you for any input
