Yes, a woman is fully capable of defending herself against a man.
Repeat after me: A woman is fully capable of defending herself against a man.
The social conditioning we receive from childhood, that boys are allowed to be aggressive and girls should nurture, creates a behavior pattern that we carry into adulthood. However, this pattern is being crushed by the women of the 21st Century.
Why now? How?
Because women are finally beginning to recognize these out-dated stereotypes continue to place them at risk for being victims of mental, physical and emotional abuse.
Thanks to the generations of women before us, relentlessly pushing the equal rights train forward , today's women know the ability to protect themselves leads to an empowering level of freedom and independence women have never had before. Freedom and independence no longer shadowed by fear.
It's safe to say as a woman, your assailant will always be bigger and stronger. So what! Properly trained techniques, timing and leverage can over come brute strength.
Awareness, knowledge, and your mindset (your greatest tool) will eliminate your fears.
If properly trained, self-defense strategies and skills play a hand in preventing and protecting yourself from mental, physical, and emotional abuse.
Once you've learned how to successfully defend yourself, the anomaly is you will rarely need to use the physical aspect of it. The confidence you gain carries into all aspects of your life. You begin to recognize possible risks of abuse or violence, both stranger and non stranger before they take place. You have an understanding of how to eliminate current threats and a desire to avoid those that arise in the future. This is known as being empowered!
Once more: A woman is fully capable of defending herself against a man.
Food for Thought:
Women of the 21st Century shouldn't have to learn how to protect themselves just to go out in public, but we still do.
Men should be taught from childhood that they are not the entitled gender, perhaps this would finally lead to stopping men from mentally, physically and emotionally hurting women.
I fear we are a long way from changing these time honored stereotypes that keep women targets for violence and abuse...
Until then ladies, get empowered, claim your freedom! Learn how to defend yourself!
Because, you are capable of defending yourself against a man!
