Do You Hate Being Physically Weaker Than Men

You're threats scared them and weakened them I think. If you were alone with them in a locked room you wouldn't have been able to fight them off. Did you see that fight where Lucia Rijker got her butt kicked by some man?

Why are there separate divisions in the first place? Why can't the 13% women chess players play against the rest of the men?

I was raised to grow up and get married, submit to my husband, have babies (mostly sons), satisfy my husbands every sexual need, and spend my days cooking and cleaning. If my husband beat me it was my fault for making him angry.

Basically brawns rule over brains sadly. If women are just as or more mentally capable as men then what's the use of having our brains if men can prevent us from using them? Someone said women were denied opportunities. By who? By men. How? Because men are physically stronger than us and used their power to stop us. Think about this ladies. If men decided that they wanted to take all of our rights away they could easily do it. I don't care how intelligent the woman is. She could be an astrophysicist, brain surgeon, and a rocket scientist. Any man could still knock her out with ease. What could a group women that smart do against an army of men telling them they are not allowed to get educations? What would you ladies do if men decided to take our rights away? Fight them? No. We would lose horribly. They would brutally beat us and unalive us if we tried. Sad reality is that men gave us women our rights and they can easily take them away. I doubt any woman here would be willing to fist fight a man for the right to vote or get an abortion or something. If we did we would lose the fight and still lose our rights anyway. No offence. I hope I'm not sounding disrespectful. But there's a huge reason men are the dominate sex. There is a reason we women have been oppressed for millennia. There's a reason armies are all men in war. Because of their vast physical strength.

The first time, I was in a forest. The attacker was not strong (below average physique, not particularly muscular) and he was drunk. He was a man whom I did not know. He approached me from behind as I was walking.

The second time, I was in my apartment which was a townhouse. The fight occurred on the carpeted stairs. My toddler son was sleeping in the room very close by behind a closed door on the second floor. It was in the age before cell phones. The landline phone was in the living room downstairs and I had no access to it and the attacker knew it. He also must have realized that I was trying to avoid waking up my son: I tried to keep the sounds of the fighting low and the verbal threats were also uttered not loudly. The attacker was very muscular and strong and he was not drunk. He was a health nut. He was a visitor whom I knew. He wouldn't take a no for an answer.

Yes, but that is a privilege we have as women: we do not need to fear draft for ourselves. For our sons, yes, but not for ourselves.

Did either of those men punch you once? Have you ever been punched by a man in your life? I have and I couldn't stand against it no matter how big and strong or small or weak the man was. I took MMA and weightlifting and smaller weaker men still kicked my *** no matter hard I fought. My strength and training couldn't compete against a man's natural strength. Blood, bruising, swelling, pain. I'm not saying this to get anyone to feel sorry for me. I don't want people to feel sorry for me. I'm just stressing how powerful men are compared to women. What would you do if one of those men randomly punched you? Which I hope never happens to you. But if it did you wouldn't be able to stay standing on your feet. Again, no offense. I am grateful still that you and your son never got hurt. I hope those men are in prison getting raped to this day.

She couldn't beat Bobby Fischer.

Exactly. Because we are physically weaker than men. The same men politicians who can draft our sons are the same men politicians that can take rights away from our daughters. Some of our sons are also woman beaters, rapists, and serial killers. Some of our sons also don't agree with women's rights. Our sons have the physical strength to rebel and fight against the other men politicians. Whereas us physically weaker women wouldn't stand a chance. Like I said men allowed us women to have our rights. Women having rights is a brand-new thing basically. I'm terrified that we women are going to lose all our rights we fought so hard for. It started with overturning abortion. Now they are trying to ban contraceptives. Next men will take away our right to vote. Our husbands will be able to beat and rape us with no consequences like they used to be able to. Then we will be killed for being raped. Just you wait and see. I'm terrified for the future of our daughters not our sons.

No, they did not punch me. The area attacked in the first case focused on my pelvis, i.e. the object of desire. In the second case, on my whole body (he had an unusual build, tall, with very muscular upper arms but at the same time narrow shoulders).

No, I do not want for these men to be raped in prison.

There are women who supported taking away abortion rights. There are men who are pro-choice. It is not that simple.

Your point was why women do not play against me and I showed an opposite example. Lots of men could not bit Fischer, either.

I think if the area I lived in was risky I’d be more worried, but it feels safe. I have colleagues who come to work from another area of the same town who don’t feel safe walking so they get a taxi which is a big daily chunk from a minimum wage job. I’m always very aware of my surroundings and there’s enough random early morning dog walkers to feel not completely alone. I wish we all could feel this safe more consistently.

I did read young men are statistically the most at risk from physical (not sexual) assault but most people don’t perceive them as being more at risk. I think we’re all rightfully aware of the awful sexual motives some attackers may be harbouring against women.

That said my young son just got back from a European city break and he said he was aware his female companion was targeted by aggressive beggars when she was alone. Whereas he wasn’t…. He believes because he looks like he can handle himself (probably true as he’s visibly muscular).

Off topic a bit LadyMe, but never read The Handmaid’s Tale or the sequel The Testaments. It’s fiction but speculative fiction. The men are in power and armed. Chilling and gripping book. You are right that men make the laws as with abortion. We outnumber men but they do have advantages over women that they have had for millennia.

That's true. I agree with you. My mom is also against abortion even if the woman gets raped she still thinks she has no right to get an abortion. Yes I do know some pro choice men.

You're lot better of a person than I am. If some man raped me I'd want him to be raped in prison everyday. I'm an eye for an eye person. If a woman rapes a man which is rare I'd want her to be raped in prison everyday too.

That's true.

No I've never read it. I read a book called When God Was A Woman by Merlin Stone. Supposedly the first major monotheistic religion was a Goddess worshiping one. But it was misandrist like the God religions are misogynist. I hate both of them.

Yes, men are more likely to be murdered. Women are more likely to be raped. I've heard rare cases where women have raped men and even beat them to death. That's why I'm against chivalry. If a woman attacks a man physically in any way he should treat her like a man and fight back as such. I admit that sometimes I deserved my *** kicking's by men. Not all of them though.

The average man is more likely to be able to fight back than a woman, if a man attacks. Yeah there can be women who are black belts in karate for example. Or she has a gun. Even if a man attacked what he assumes is a smaller and weaker man, he could be wrong. And if the victim is skilled with and has a gun, no amount of fist fighting will save him.

Either gender is vulnerable and it’s not right for anyone to be attacked in any way. And as a woman I feel more vulnerable.

I haven’t been physically beaten by anyone. If I had been beaten by a man, I’d probably feel like I wished I was physically stronger to defend myself. I don’t resent being the “weaker sex”.

I do and always have felt fearful of being attacked by a man. I try to keep myself at low risk. I have been with men thinking this protects me from being attacked by men.

I hate being small and weak. What disgusts and angers me the most is child abuse.

It always angers me that men respect another man's property rather than the woman herself. I don't want a man in that way but if I did then maybe some of this stuff wouldn't have happened to me.
