Which is fine... except your whole attitude and values are sexist

If that's how you feel and you don't see a problem with it.  Just embrace it.

 

Me,  I don't care... gender is irrelevent all that matters is relative strengths....

 

and when it comes to sparring?  Holy fuck, I mean I know you think your being all respective and protective and shit but in reality there is nothing more disrespetful and insulting.

I mean shit, we're talking about a woman who has trained to fight and who has quite a bit of self esteem and interest built in fighting and you are essentially saying you don't respect her as a fighter and don't think she's worth it, because she's a woman.

You may as well be Master Fnog from Futurama.

 

Leela: When I was growing up at the orphanarium, I got picked on a lot.

[Flashback. A teenage Leela and some teenage boys are dressed in martial arts uniforms.]

Leela: [voice-over] My only outlet was Arcturan Kung Fu.

[Teenage Leela takes on two guys and floors them. Her teacher, a green alien called Fnog watches.]

Fnog: Excellent. Bill, Keith, you will go to Junior Championships. Bill, congratulate Keith when he regains consciousness.

Leela: But, Master Fnog, I can beat these dorks with one eye closed.

Fnog: Perhaps. But there is more to winning than beating your opponent. You lack the will of the warrior.

Leela: What do you mean? Watch this!

[She kicks Bill in the stomach.]

Bill: [crying] Ow!

Fnog: No girl has the will of a warrior. You have the will of a housewife or, at best, the schoolmarm.

Leela: That's it. I'll take you on right now.

Fnog: Very well. But, you see, I have the will of the warrior. Therefore, the battle is already over. The winner? Me! [He laughs.] Rematch? You lose again! Had enough? I thought so!

[He and the other guys laugh.]


At the end of the day, if your willing to spar with a guy that will give you an equal or lesser challenge then a woman who you aren't willing to spar with because she's a woman...  That's sexist plane and simple.


So, not wanting to risk her getting injured is sexist? What if she had a Jiu Jitsu meet and I injured her? Many things can happen They told me they will whip me into shape and i am totally ok with it. I'll spar with them, but I dont want to go all out with them. The chick understood when I turned her own.

As for being associated with Fnog, thats not at all how I see things. I am not a trainer, in that instance I would be a student.
