Respect Women

[Tom Yum]

So you'd like to end up on the floor being stomped, and be smacked around for catty comments which would elicit a violent response if the originated from a guy?

What you are referring to is assault, which is a criminal charge. That's no way to handle the situation. How would it look if someone with martial arts training staggers some guy for telling him how smelly he is?

there goes that Columbine talk again...

[Tom Yum]

It wasn't explicitly stated, but what she means is that she wants to be able to spar harder with guys in her TKD training, instead of having them back off.

No where does she say she wants to escalate an argument into an all out street fight between 2 sumbitches outside a bar on the weekend, stomping on each others head...

Big difference

Hello

I know what she meant lol being a woman in the martial arts and the only woman at my level who wants to teach but the guys in my class have been a pleasure to train with because i have accepted as a woman i am not physically as strong as a man so i dont care that they dont use too much strength when training.
Then again Kung Fu isnt about strength its about yielding to a greater force.

I need more women to sign up and post their comments on my web site the address is

Hi Emma, keep up the good work!

hiya

Guys i know what your worries are and i understand that you have to use some retraint when training with us as women because we just aren't physically built to withstand heavy blows to the body by the fully power of a man.
Took me ages to see this but now i realise its not how much battering you can take in he training its more important to fine tune the skills learned in martial arts and practice hitting focus pads at full power and also getting some contact from the men but only so much and to get used to fighting in clsoe proximity.
The guys in my martial arts class are great and i will have been there 6 years this september i cant believe it myself O_O

Women we are strong fighters the only reason we are martial artists is because we have the fight in us but remember our bodies were not built to become fighting machines we have to work hard to make them that way. I understand your frustrations as not being seen to eb treated as equals but it is for our own good trust me i mean yeah id appreciate a little bit more power in the fight from the guys but generally im happy that i can train and know im safe, and dont forget its hard for men to want to hit women try and see it from their point of view.

Em,

well ladies and gentlemen, you see, i rise and i rise a question
NO! i say two question!

1) how much respect have this so-called "women" reserved to those guys who are ugly, fat, have poor social skills and like computers?
we know repsct is a mutual thing - one wont respect those that disrespct - fact

2) how much respect should a person have for the individuals who put themselves (or want to be put) high in a pedestal or castle hoping to be well treated and saved just for having an extra (or diferent) hole and looking cute? how much respect should be given for those who wait for someone else do to the hardwork since they have an extra (or diferent) hole?

well i have my own opinion on this, but id like to hear from others
and maybe later i can share some more data to support or UNsupport that wich can rise from your parts abut this

..who said chivalry is dead???? amen..ryu

sorry dear fellow of uknwnon gender asnwering by the tittle of TNT...
chivalrily really is indeed dead although some believe its not, similarly to what happens to Elvis

well the death of chivralry begins with "movements" of people clamining men and women to be the same and giving almost equal (or equal, depends) rights for both men and women

equal rights - equal duty
equal rights - equal punishment
equal rights - equal open the cars door

its the truth

chlivary died with feminism

of course a lot still use the medieval fantasy for reproduction means if you know what i mean HAHAHHAHA (laughter)

[cakegirl]

Yay, we have our very own brand-new troll!

[Xebsball]

well young lady of the female gender,
i am not a troll
i brought valid points of truth and questionings of discussion
of course its a lot easier to just say im a troll then to answer properly to my refined arguments and inquirings or enquirings or whatever

btw does your name starts with an "M", so does mine

[Tom Yum]

of course a lot still use the medieval fantasy for reproduction means if you know what i mean HAHAHHAHA (laughter)

[guy incognito]

Women are a sub class of society and dont deserve respect!
Lol just kidding!

[cakegirl]

[bodhisattva]

well young lady of the female gender,

Young lady of the female gender? As opposed to what? A young lady of the male gender? Or a young man of the female gender?

Em,

Em,

You seem to totally understand that women have as much as ability to learn the fundamentals and to develop strength as the men. Why not insist on training somewhere that sees it that way too? Just a suggestion?
