I did watch the videos and they are irrelevant to what we are talking about. Do you understand what the term "in general" means? Maybe you will understand it if I put it in visual terms: IN GENERAL men are taller than women. Does that mean that women can't be taller than men? No, it just means most of the time a man is taller than a woman. Just like most of the time a man is stronger than a woman. You don't need to take me seriously. I could care less about that. But if you ignore established simple scientific facts regarding human physiology then you seriously need help. Here are some links to help you understand just how wrong you are:

http://***.physiology.org/content/116/10/1342 I don't know why the link comes up as ***, replace the *** with j a p (no spaces) for the study

Sex differences in human physiology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Now saying all that, if you ask are there women out there that can beat/dominate men in physical activities? My answer would be yes! But if we are speaking of the majority then men are stronger.

All the videos you are posting are of matches that mostly involve skill and technique. No basic street fighting where anything goes.

This is my favorite one, because the guy tries to escalate things using brute force and gets completely destroyed by the woman.

But yeah, oh, OK, that's "different" and "doesn't count."

Oh, that's a good one. Women beating men at fighting isn't relevant when it involves skill or technique. Oooookay.

To begin with, that trooper should have known better than to position herself on the steps below the woman she was taking charge of. That alone gave the woman a sense of power over the trooper. Secondly, the trooper's long hair needs to go. Once the woman got hold of it, she controlled the trooper.

This incident never should have happened. It wouldn't have happened if the trooper was male with close-cropped hair.

It wouldn't have just been the hair.....I'm sure a male officer would have at least been able to control the female perp rather than her getting the advantage.

This goes back to the size/strength thing and the lessening of physical standards to allow females to pass testing but don't wanna rehash it here...a lot was discussed in this recent thread:

//www.city-data.com/forum/curre...le-police.html

Also, had it been a male officer (even in the same disadvantaged position) the female suspect may not have attempted what she did.

No matter how many isolated YouTube videos or news clips you post that won't change. In general men are stronger physically then women. If you can't understand that simple concept then it’s really hard to take any of your other posts seriously.
It's called mass media brainwashing and any attempts to challenge it are met with being labelled "backwards" or "neanderthal thinking".....even though you're right.

I don't think women should be barred from being police officers, but I also don't think the average woman is as strong as the average man. You take the average American woman and put her in a ring with the average American man, no one holding back, and the woman is going to get her ass kicked 99 times out of 100. Of course there are some women who can whoop lots of ass, but they're the extreme minority. Women like Rhonda Rousey are 1/100,000,000, not average. Saying women are as strong as or stranger than men is just silly. That's a sweeping statement that isn't born out by the facts. Women have a harder time building and maintaining muscle so they're usually just not as strong as men.

Oh, of course they are, because we were talking about being able to hold their own in fights against men, and those were videos of women beating men in fights.

Must be tough for you guys, really, to have to find new ways of being relevant.

No one has yet tried to address the matter of the male police officers being killed in fights....anyone? Anyone? Anyone want to maybe recant their decision to call a cop an "embarrassment" for losing a fight? Or perhaps want to level those insults at the male officers who were killed that way? Hm?

Just want to insult the woman cop, then, I see. How completely not surprising.

Nope, nope, sorry, that's not what we're talking about, we're talking about street fighting. That was an organized fight with rules and stuff involved, not a "street fight" where anything goes.

In case you're not getting the sarcasm, that's the excuse posted on this thread for men getting beaten by women in MMA. If you get beaten in an organized fight, well, that's to be expected.

I do enjoy how the guy in that video is booed by everyone at the end.
