I am no feminist. Men and women will never have equal opportunities because we are not equal. I will never carry a child. I will never breastfeed. There is no place in this world for a man to wear makeup. Men will always win physical battle against women.
God made men to be men and women to be women. Each perfect for their purpose. You can say we can be different but equal, but that never works (ie segregation). Once you can agree they are different, then you can work toward things being 'fair' which is achievable.
I disagree.
My favorite example is Cynthia Rothrock.
She was an actress and stunt-double in Hollywood for decades, a competitive martial artist, and she holds a few high-ranking black belts in a few different martial arts systems.
Well.....it seems that one day two cretins got it in their heads that they were going to gang rape this woman while she was walking home from her dojo.
She put both of them in the hospital trauma unit. She even took the knife away from one of these idiots, and stabbed him repeatedly.
One of the reporters--when interviewing her afterwards--asked how she felt, she said: "It was really awful. I almost chipped a nail and nearly messed up my hair....."
Another favorite female badass hero of mine was Ludmylia Pavelichenko. I've mentioned her before, as she was a sniper in WWII who got 307 confirmed kills against the Nazis.
Another female badass who deserves honorable mention is Dr. James Barry.
In the 1800s, women weren't allowed to go to medical school and be physicians, so a woman passed herself off as a man for her entire life, graduated medical school, became a renouned military surgeon, and the fact of her transexualism wasn't discovered until after she died when she was autopsied.
She--evidentally--wasn't a lesbian, as Dr. Barry got into several duels to protect his honor over accusations of homosexuality (if you see the irony, as Dr. Barry was a woman, passing as a man, and making romantic gestures toward men, which was interpreted as homosexuality).
Dr. Barry was a crack shot with the dueling pistol, and--after a few close calls--the challenges stopped.
