she blew her brother away in terms of strength skill and grace! Just discovered this blog hellfire queen, it's spot on full of fascinating info! it stuns me how most people including girls think they are the weaker sex when there is increasing science and evidence which proves the opposite. for even more evidence check out this other link, http://kcvmh.tumblr.com/post/29864218122/clip-of-the-comparison-between-mckayla-maroneys it shows a clip of the comparison between the women's and the men's medal winning vaults at the 2012 Olympics. The superior strength, power skill grace and balance of the female is clear to see!!! Observe how much higher she managed to launch herself with her muscle power :) Cheers, P
Totally - thanks for the link - it's interesting that the mainstream is starting to ask questions and make comparisons in male / female physical ability such as this. Previously no-one would have dared!!! Here we see just one example of what many of us have known for years. Put a trained girl up against a trained guy - and the girl will win every time....
Please feel free to add more comments - rest assured this blog is a troll free zone....
Thank you for the interesting link:) I love how even the Olympics are starting to show the truth:) You know, many masculinists bring up how "men do a lot better in the Olympics" and "men hold all the records" etc etc... Let's see what they will come up with now, if they still dare talk.
Yeah, that's a great clip - I tried to find it on the web and post it properly on the blog - but can't seem to find the original source. I love the comparison, but it is just one study - you could do the same thing for every female / male gymnast in every discipline and in the vast majority of cases it would show the girls to be stronger and more powerful than their male counterparts. That's not even to mention a pound for pound comparison which would of course put the girls streets ahead....
no there only seem to be gifs of it, perhaps that could be saved somehow and re-uploaded? here is a video link to another interesting study which gives a comparison of a top female gymnast with one of the world's best male basketball players,
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Wys94aRNB8
in the clip, the 104 lb female gymnast produces the same power (1500W) as the 280 lb male athlete! pound for pound that is nearly 3 times the power of the male :D (~14W/lb compared to ~ 5W/lb)
not mentioned in the video, but worth noting is the power needed to tear the average mans shoulder socket is ~8W/lb......i.e. theoretically this 104lb woman could rip a mans arm off and not find it too difficult!
Also of interest in that clip is where they say she could vault over a horse, some scholars believe the 'myth' of the Amazons originated from the earlier Minoan civilization, but generally the athletic abilities of the Amazons are considered my so called scolars to be out-of-place in the historical world, yet Minoan art found on Crete show young women engaged in unarmed combat and astounding feats of gymnastics such as vaulting over bulls. Modern rodeo experts used to declared this to be impossible, but here is the evidence of modern sports science and Cretan art showing the incredible physical prowess of the female is incontrovertible!
This clip gives scientific credence to the ‘She Fu’ TV trope consisting of the fighting art of a martial arts girl that features her doing backflips, somersaults, and gymnastic cartwheels to approach, evade, strike, throw and defeat her opponent. Exemplified in shows such as Buffy or Xena and films like Octopussy (is that a screenshot of the Octopussy women warriors in your avatar Xaan?). The very first movie ever to feature ‘She Fu’ was another Bond film, diamonds are forever.
I remember as a kid watching diamonds are forever for the first time on telly and being blown away when I saw Bambi and Thumper. I had always been told boys are strong and girls were weak, but even then I was already getting sick and tired of the "boys are better" crap. But yet here was James Bond, the epitome of manhood, who had defeated some of the baddest villains ever seen in the movies, up against 2 girls who take it turns to easily give him the worst pounding of his career! In all the Bond films that I had seen before, every Bond girl would submit and swoon at the feet of the great male hero yet here he was getting beaten up by two girls! It was shocking seeing for the first time the disdain and contempt confident women could have for the all-powerful alpha male. It felt so good watching the chauvinist hero get his arse handed to him by these two lethal ladies and seeing him fall before female physical supremacy.
Bambi in particular I found so awesome, and even today she still is one of my favourite all time movie characters and model of female empowerment, she’s only in it for a couple of minutes, doesn’t say a lot and appeared a bit goofy dressed in her funny pre-lycra brown swimwear, hair braids and a bobble hat, but with expert gymnast and unarmed combat skills, she is strong, agile and tough – this girl comes across as a stocky, dorky misfit, but was actually beautiful and also physically threatening, more powerful than the man. A great female movie villain. Like an amused predator, with a look of total female dominance, the hunger and sadistic intent in her eyes as she moved in on Bond, followed by her sheer joy as she gracefully beat the hell out of him – pure dominance, her athleticism matched only by her viciousness … it was amazing!
With playful ease and delight these girls gave bond such a terrible beating and even though they were the film baddies, I was so on their side! This scene with Bambi and Thumper was just the dose of contemporary femininity and example of girl power that I had been crying for! Instead of the weak woman yielding to the suave bond, the girls ‘had a ball’, as Thumper said she would at the start of the scene, knocking the stuffing out Bond with strikes and throws and all the time displaying phenomenal femininity and acrobatic prowess, there even comes a point where Bond is being choked between Bambi’s thighs, the air is literally getting squeezed out of him. How I cheered them on!
But then it all changed, I was soooo angry, The exhausted and beaten Bond had been such easy prey for the girl martial art experts, after they tire of throwing him around the room and toss him into the outdoor pool, they quickly carry on with their advantage and hold his head underwater and yet all of a sudden they then lost all their strength and skills, Bond immediately gets the upper hand in the swimming pool and with one hand beat his indestructible female opponents!!. So unbelievable!!!! – I remember thinking no way! Bond couldn’t have won, and definitely not win by strength- he was not as strong as either Bambi or Thumper, it was obvious to me each one was so much stronger than him - in truth he would be killed by a woman in a physical fight!
I still feel cheated today ha ha - no man is able to defeat women like Bambi and Thumper and all girls can be like them - THE SUPERIOR SEX! lol
Wow - great read! Thanks for a perfect synopsis of that scene and for perfectly summing up your reaction to it, which I very much shared. Bond films were my first experience of what I would call proper female role models in mainstream TV and film.- i.e. women being strong, threatening and dominant over men. I'll never forget the first time I saw a bikini clad Ursulla Andress, dagger strapped to her thigh, emerge from the sea in Dr No, and threaten Bond if he tried to steal the shells she was collecting. Even that had a big affect in me, it just felt so right, here was an alpha male who had beaten up all manner of bad guys, genuinely kow-towing to a confident hot looking woman.
There is a thread running through most of the earlier Bond movies of women physically getting the better of men in one way or another. One of my favourites was Fatima Blush (Barbara Carrera) who took on Bond in Never say Never Again and had him beat - but for one of Bond's exploding gadgets. The best example is of course Octopussy which features the best sequence of girl power in any film. This had a profound affect on me and has been a major source of inspiration ever since. It just felt like for once we were being allowed to see women play their true role beating men with greater skill, strength and grace - and it seemed so right!
I could talk about this stuff all night. Wanna take the discussion off-line? I could do with some inspiration for the next part of the project and I can share the new artworks with you if you like?
You can download the maroney/uchimura (female supremacy, female stronger more powerful ;) ) comparison as an mp4 if you go to here http://rebloggy.com/post/gymnastics-2012-olympics-mckayla-maroney-kohei-uchimura/29864218122 then right click the video press play, right click again and click save as then if you can upload the clip how and as you like :)
OK, so there are 3 other points I would make about the Bambi & Thumper article by Anonymous. Gender allegiance is crucial and should trump all other factors. She was so right to instinctively root for the female characters - even if they were supposed to be the baddies.
Another thing that I found compelling was the way the girls took on Bond mostly on an individual basis. They could have attacked him at the same time, but they knew they didn't have too. So confident were they in their physical abilities that they didn't need or seek the help of one another. They knew that either one of them could overpower him. In reality the fight would have been over shortly after Bambi caught Bond's neck between her thighs.. But of course that would have brought the franchise to an premature end...hence the ridiculous end to this scene...
It may be just a scene in a film, but lastly I would just echo the sentiment that ALL girls can be like Bambi & Thumper if they want to....
