On the subject of attire...
I can't remember which post it was on but there was a discussion some time ago about what modern day Amazons should wear. It may have been on the so called LFL (Lingerie Football League) and it covered the advantages of being scantily clad. Well it seems our ancient sisters had the idea well before us....

It seems amazons have always known how to get inside our heads. A strong, powerful female body is much more intimidating than any armor ever could be. Facing an army of these women? The men never stood a chance.
ReplyDeleteAs far as I know, nothing suggests that psychology was scientifically applied back then. Most probably, those ancient amazons didn't care about "getting inside men's heads". They just wore what was most comfortable for them, just as any self-respecting woman is supposed to do nowadays. Constantina
DeleteI know ever since a few girls on the cheer squad decided to "practice" with a fee of us guys on the football team, I get goosebumps any time I see a woman in a short skirt or tight sweater. When i see one dance or gyrate in one, its truly terrifying, Its really mindboggling how superior women can so easily leave permanent imprints on your thoughts.
DeleteI agree anonymous, getting dominated by a girl is never easy to get out of your head as a male, no matter how often it happens. But what exactly do you mean by "practice"? Did the cheer girls dominate you at your own sport?
DeleteHappiness is: Kicking the crap out of a dude, whilst wearing black leather stiletto boots! Kim
DeleteAnother male weakness that we are unable to think when we see the beauty and power of the female form.
ReplyDeleteVery true Gnome. And, as we know, women already have better functioning brains than males even when our male brain is functioning at 'full capacity.'
DeleteHi TwentyfirstStarter,
ReplyDeleteThe following is from an article I found on the internet about the mythical amazons.
"According to Diodorus, the Amazons under the rule of Queen Myrina, invaded the lands of the Atlantians. Amazons defeated the army of the Atlantian city of Cerne, treated the captives savagely, killed all the men, led into slavery the children and women, and razed the city. When the terrible fate of the inhabitants of Cerne became known among the other Atlantians, they were struck with terror, surrendered their cities on terms of capitulation and announced that they would do whatever should be commanded them."
I see what you mean with the men never stood a chance. Especially when I see the mighty, powerful woman on the left. Imagine an army consisting only of such strong, skilled trained women. No male army could stop them.
The woman on the left certainly embodies the essence of the superior Amazon warrior. Of course there will always be males who are foolish enough to continue to challenge powerful females even after Amazons have taken over society. Smart males will bow down to their superiors, but a significant percentage of males will always be not very smart.
DeleteOhh my God, its SOOOO humiliating how easy it is for girls to intimidate us! A few guy friends and I were eating at a restaurant and the waitress was a slip of a girl, maybe 5' even and 110 lbs. But she smiled at us and we all suddenly lost our ability to think, worse yet, we all saw she had a clearly defined bicep when she adjusted her hair, and, well...it was just super-humiliating that we were all so terrified in such an unscary situation.
ReplyDeleteyou are totally right !
Deleteyes in fact a single 5' girl is intimidating 4 or 5 guys , each twice her own size !
That is very humiliating for us males!
the worst part is that they can do it SOOOO easily, and these days a lot more are starting to realize it.
DeleteHey thanks for using my picture, feel free to visit and use any more, i would like if i may to use the information on this site as inspiration for more captions xx
ReplyDeletePaula
Hey Paula. My pleasure, thanks for creating such a great piece. Will defo use some more of your stuff as it is so well put together. By all means use the info on this blog and please feel free to comment & contribute as I think you will undoubtedly add a lot of inspiration & value.
DeleteThis is awesome!!!! The outfits I wear are very much amazon dominatrix, and its good to see there is real history behind it. It is all about wearing the right outfit for you that makes you feel empowered. For me when I started performing I used to think I felt naked but you are actually less naked than you at first feel and I even surprised myself how much I loved it once I got over the fear of being too exposed, and man beating in bikini amazon attire… well there is no feeling like it ;) you feel invincible and once you pop, you can’t stop looool, it’s a rush you have never encountered before, a constant stimulation of your skin while a man crumples beneath you, I think Ace described feeling something similar when she beat up her abusive boyfriend and the man at the wedding in her heels. I consider my revealing outfits war suits for sure and I am very confident in my ability to overpower destroy intimidate beat up and dominate ANY man. <3 Polegirl
ReplyDeletep.s. is there a link to your site Paula? it sounds interesting xx
Totally with you on that Polegirl (High 5). As an Amazon, the more exposed you are the more empowered you feel and the more the men are intimidated and bamboozled it's a win / win situation for us girls. Wearing a skimpy costume makes you feel sexy, ready for action and unbeatable and as my boyfriends can testify....I am lol XD xxx Suze
DeleteInnit Suze! :D High 5 back at ya!!! xx stand proud as women, act like a girl, fight like a girl, break men to their knees, make them surrender like boys and cry like babies <3 Polegirl
DeletePolegirl, if I understand well, you like to beat men dressing very few, and being in a very feminine way. You enjoy to overpower males as a sexy woman? If that's the case, it's 1000 times much more humiliating for men to be beaten by you! Your last sentence shows it all: " stand proud as women, act like a girl, fight like a girl, break men to their knees, make them surrender like boys and cry like babies" ! It's totally devastating for men to get broken like that, finishing into tears.
DeleteI don't care how it is for men. You misbehave, you get slapped. No reason to discuss this any further. Alexia
DeleteThank you Xaan, I will definitely pop in now and then, this blog shares the same philosophies that are dear to my heart :)
ReplyDeletePolegirl great narrative, thank you for the feedback, I agree 100% the feeling of power and stimulation is wonderful and something every girl should exerience and wake up to xx
my site is https://amazonfemsupremacy.deviantart.com/ nothing amazing just something i use to express my thoughts
Paula
I like how modest You are ("nothing amazing"). Your post about men's rights activists sums up the scenery very efficiently. Sure I am a man, still totally fed up with how evidently false the "manpower" myth is. My Mistress knows Her stuff on the matter and I actually prefer Her this way (else I wouldn't want to stick with Her - not that this would change anything, just saying). She isn't violent on me (She doesn't have to be, let's be honest), in fact we are able to spend quality time together and, let's be honest again, our time owes its quality to Her rather than to me. Her mind is far superior to mine.
Deletexx <3 polegirl
DeletePaula, I follow your amazonfemsupremacy site on deviant art and am always inspired. My site there is clark246, which you may find entertaining.
DeleteOn the subject of attire... we must only wear what we see fit for our purpose. My purpose is to trap men in their aggression so I make sure to maintain a "provocative" dresscode. Elise
ReplyDeleteMy purpose would best be pictured with a gi, a black belt and bare feet, but I don't always maintain that dresscode. Fortunately for me, attitude is a lot more important than its surface. Silvia
DeleteBlack belt in what martial art, if I may ask? In any case you 're right, I simply need a surface that works as a bait. And it does work very well as such. For reasons I don't know, men tend to look for a woman to cheat on their wife with. You hopefully understand how easy those men are for a woman like me to fish. What is being seen while I do the fishing makes me look like a slut, but the truth is... somewhat different. Those men I fish have no idea what they 're going to suffer until they can't avoid it. Elise
DeleteShotokan Karate-do is the answer to your question, Elise. But what truly matters is how well you work on your chosen martial art. The kind of -do you work on isn't better or worse than any other -do, only you can be better or worse than your opponent. Techniques are different from -do to -do, but the basic principle is practically unchanged, so only hard work can pay off best. Fights that are supposed to be about "the best -do" actually derive from personal insecurities, else why are they only caused by men? Silvia
DeleteYou 're right, Silvia. I don't remember myself or any other woman fight for proving that "this martial art is better than that martial art". I expect you to have noticed how this kind of fight has a strong tendency to end up being a disgrace to both martial arts in "question", as the side that seems closer to losing will always resort to playing dirty. We are a totally different story, we don't even care who is better than whom. We only care about being better than yesterday and fight because society makes it a necessity - you know how this happens, I presume.
Deletetbf an amazon in provocative dress code is too intimidating to trap men in their aggression, take the lfl athletes reminiscent of the girl army in octopussy if you have them after you it's fear you feel not aggression, same applies for gi and black belt you know you are out matched and doomed, the only thing it could trapmen with is their pride and ego, which wouldn't last long! Dan the man
DeletePlease, Elise, could you tell us precisely, what do you mean when you write your purpose is to trap men in their agression? Do you think that a "provocative" dress code makes men less agressive against you?
DeleteSilvia, could you precise what you mean about attitude being more important? Do you mean a very self-confident attitude and agressive when you fight against a man? Thanks!
I see where you 're coming from, Dan, but you 're wrong. Aggression is a facade for fear. So, regardless if a man shows aggression or fear, I know he actually is afraid. The difference is that, when the man shows aggression, I know how to remove his facade. When he shows fear, there is no facade to be removed.
DeleteThere is nothing I have to "think to be so" about this matter, Paillasse. Trapping a man in his aggression is done differently in every case, depending on exactly how the man expresses his aggression. I won't go in detail, but my basic target is to wake up the man's fear and see whether it comes out in its genuine form or behind an aggressive facade. Then I handle him as I know I have to, depending on what I see from him. This is as far as I want to reveal. No further questions on the matter. And, speaking for Silvia, I think she will agree that confidence doesn't make aggression. Most readers might perceive her as aggressive, but this is just because they 're taken aback by her stiff views on honour-related matters, which actually derive from commitment, instead of aggression. She doesn't seem to favour any gender anyway, all she asks for is progress chances, as far as I can tell from her posts. Elise
Paillasse, you 're seeing the matter from a seriously mistaken angle. Aggression isn't only unnecessary, it also is harmful towards one's own performance. When I fight, I don't care about my opponent's gender. I have the same healthily competitive attitude towards all my opponents. I fight for honour and physical condition, not for showing anything off. What my original post here means is that my attitude doesn't depend on my attire. Nothing more, nothing less. This doesn't stop me from making statistical observations, but in turn these observations don't affect my attitude. Silvia
DeleteThank you, Silvia, for your answer! Sorry i was seeing the matter from a mistaken angle. Maybe I have a typical male angle to consider it, and I'm wrong. It's very hard for a male not to consider that his opponent is a woman. When a man fights, he does take care of his opponent's gender. But I recognize you're right, and you have a very healthy attitude as a fighter. And I'm agree, agression is not good at all for competition. Thank you again!
DeleteAttire can be a very delicate and complicated topic from a woman’s point of view, at one time the men who run boxing tried to make the wearing of skirts compulsory for all female boxers which greatly divided opinion causing them to backtrack and allow skirts as an optional attire which is good because it then comes down to the woman to decide to wear what she feels comfortable in, personally I prefer the skirts for the reason katalin gives in the link below
Deletehttp://www.chicagonow.com/katalin-fitness-health-driven/2012/04/womens-boxing-in-the-london-olympics-wearing-skirts-approved/
They for real make my boxing feel like a feminine art for strong athletes plus I find it very empowering to wear my skirt on the gym when sparring dudes I’m at the level now where I can girl handle just about any man and doing it in a mini skirt just for me makes it that bit more satisfying. I hope that one day we will be able to compete directly against men in the ring (in our skirts ;p ) to showcase how much better than them we have become. I think we should be allowed to fight a man in the ring if we want to. Personally I’m more nervous about female opponents than male
This is what Laura shaper stein said on the matter
http://laurasaperstein.com/
Caz
Spot-on reasoning by Katalin. Female kickboxers have amazingly beautiful legs - much more so than "models", mind you... Showcasing them within the frame of combat sports is of course a great way of shutting some bad mouths. But, as Laura Saperstein points out, shorts can also look good on women if styled accordingly. So I think that no sort of attire must be made mandatory. Free choice between skirt and shorts is by far better than making any of them mandatory. I 'd go with skirt as well, but won't try to drag others along with me on such a subjective matter. Elise
DeleteExactly Elise the problem first arose because when women first started boxing there were no skirts and no alternative option from shorts. Then a man turned round that skirts will be made compulsory for all female boxers, well there was a huge backlash! How dare men tell us what to wear! If they said skirts were optional from the start, the majority of women would wear them exactly for the reasons Katalin and Laura give. But it was a good victory for women to be given the freedom to choose, not that we should of had to request that freedom in the first place! In women’s tennis skirts were just the done thing from the start and no female tennis player has a problem with skirts, and in tennis skirts really help to showcase female brilliance above the shorts wearing men. I actually would love to be able to wear an outfit like the amazon in the picture when I box, I think that would be rad! (I’m really into cosplay though so that might be my reason for it lol). Especially if i get the chance to go up against a man (I can’t tell you how much I and other women boxers are chomping at the bit for the chance to prove ourselves by beating men in proper licensed competition!) you are right about kickboxing, I actually incorporate kickboxing training because although a pure puncher, it is fantastic for strengthening and conditioning the legs, not only does it give you legs to be proud of, but there is nothing worse than your legs tiring and feeling heavy burning a bout! Caz
DeleteHi Caz, thanks for your inspiring posts - it's great to know that other female boxers are chomping at the bit to compete directly against men. That day can't come soon enough for me:). I joined a kickboxing club 5 months ago and it has changed my life. My boyfriend encouraged me to join. He's been doing it for 3.5 years and I can already hold my own against him. We spar mostly at home in the basement and I have put him down many times even knocked him out once (tho that was pretty scary):0. I've also embarrassed several guys at the gym too and I love it!!!!! I also like skirts as they are more girly and I want to feel like a girl when I'm fighting, especially against the guys! Actually my real preference is just thong and sports bra, that's what I wear at home sparring with bf, not sure that would be allowed in the gym tho lol. Tessa
DeleteHey Tessa thank you, yes we would cream men just like the female wrestlers do on the states and India :D. Go girl that sounds like you’re a natural! A girl typically after 5 or 6 months I find is on a par with the guys who have 2 years of experience but you knocking your bf out and he’s had 3.5... love it! Oh yes girl power ;) ha ha yes I love thongs and latex and pvc too! :) Caz
DeleteCaz and Tessa, the day women could compete directly against men, it will be very hard for men! Quickly, women will cream men, and men will cry a lot! Especially if women are allowed to fight in very feminine way (thong, latex, pic, or sport bra, skirt). DO you realize how humiliating it will be for us males?
DeleteHey Caz. Oh, talking of wrestling, I didn't mention why bf encouraged me to take up kickboxing. It was cuz he was sick and tired of being pummelled by me at wrestling!!! He told me that men are better when it comes to striking and he wanted me to learn kickboxing so he could show me his prowess and get even. But uh-oh, looks like it's backfiring somewhat, to his immense frustration and I think he's starting to regret it - ha ha ha!
DeleteI agree we should be allowed to compete in thongs :0
To Paillasse - Yes I do realize how humiliating it will be for you guys! Do you realize how satisfying it will be for us girls?
So you enjoy to humiliate us that much? I can imagine it will be such a satisfaction for you girls! And it's will be very frustrating for us males not to be able to do anything against that! Speaking about wrestling, I confess I'm in fear each time I have to face a girl. I assume you will enjoy a lot to smell the fear of a guy when he will have to fight on a ring with you.
DeleteTotally agree with the view that attire is down to each woman’s preference it’s interesting the shorts/skirts controversy in women’s boxing I didn’t know about that. The pro skirts arguments make a lot of sense but I’m not so sure if that would translate so well to wearing thongs especially if there were ever mixed bouts because 1) it would be too risqué and 2) on the wrestling board there has been a lot of discussion about mocking men when they are beaten standing over a defeated man after knocking him about in a boxing match wearing a thing and sports bra is really rubbing it in!
DeleteBut back to skirts in boxing and comparing a woman boxers outfit to women’s tennis is interesting I agree with Caz that the skirts really enhance how brilliant and athletic female tennis players are. Men’s tennis really took a knock when billy jean king destroyed bobby riggs and on another post there was a discussion about how women were then held back by ensuring they played less than men and their competitions easy by making them play fewer sets so they can’t develop the strength to rival men again. But I think regardless they are take Camilo giorgi for instance her athletiscm speed agility reflexes and importantly composure out of this world every thing she does is just fluid elegance with power, and this is superior athletic femininity over athletic masculinity. As a martial artist it is clear why women dominate in this field and Camila if she ever transitioned to the ring or octagon I feel could very easily make a statement of female power over men! Vic
https://youtu.be/IqY5PchgE0Y
You 're exactly on point in your reply to me, Caz. I have never tolerated and will never tolerate any man's "opinion" on what I shall wear. What I wear is only my decision. I may ask other women for ideas every now and then, but men? I don't remember asking them.
DeleteTessa, I also agree thongs are a good idea for women to wear during combat sport competitions. Having yet another option isn't bad and thongs specifically make a nice statement of femininity. No matter what we wear though, men somehow manage to look hideous compared to us. Don't ask me how, it simply happens. Let me also applaud you on the lesson you 're teaching to your bf. You 're basically doing socially useful work - if only more girls did so... We need to become more and I do my best to achieve this.
Camila Giorgi is a very talented athlete. Congrats on yet another nice find, Vic. Elise
Whaaat Tessa, he said men were better when it comes to striking!? It seems wrestling girls have got men to admit defeat in wrestling but guys try and justify it by saying they are better at striking, now that’s a notion that needs to be put to bed right away! That makes the news that you are already knocking him out even better! Kick his but again fir me will ya!
DeletePaillasse as Tessa said yes we do realise, what are you going to do about it then big boy?
Interesting clip of Camila Giorgi Vic, and you are right in your description, she has a very similar build and fluidity as you say to the Olympic boxer now turned professional Micaela Mayer, this clip features footage of her laying down the leather and schooling a male pro whilst suitably attired ;) https://youtu.be/DxiYXAV8MLc I know what you are saying about thongs, wearing them on a show could be construed as disrespecting the sweet science (rather than men)
Yes Elise I never listen or do what men say, well I listen to my coach but he’s allowed because he doesn’t tell me how to live my life or what to wear and is cool and I don’t know any female coaches round here lol. Caz
Thank you Elise, your acknowledgement is an honor I am humbled :) yes I think her athleticism is incredible one of my favorite tennis players for sure!
DeleteHey Caz, I'll dedicate the next beating to you! :) I understand what you guys are saying about thongs and knowing how empowering it feels wearing them, I can see how they could be seen as intimidating. However the practical benefits should outweigh the risqué perceptions, after all, perceptions can change over time and ask yourself this: Is a woman in a thong showing off her muscular legs, really that much different from a man in a vest showing off his muscular shoulders and biceps? Tessa
DeleteMen's attribute bias that makes them more suitable for striking than for grappling isn't enough to make them better than us at striking. Caz, if you don't know any female coaches, you must try to find one. My mentor in tennis is a woman, much better than any man who thinks of himself as "the bright know-all". Even men progress faster when trained by women than not.
DeleteYou 're welcome, Vic. Many women have a lot of unused potential. Camila does use a fair part of her talent, but will show much better progress if she takes her training up to where it can actually go.
Tessa, I totally agree with you about the "practical vs risque" thing. Any time a man criticises me on my dresscode (which happens lots), I criticise him back on his. In the summer, several men around here take their strolls bare-chested as if they were at home. (Well, Mr. Manly Man, if you 're going to force onto our eyes your horrible buttery looks, you 're also going to watch us walk by in what makes you afraid of us.) Elise
Nothing wrong with risque I reckon in fact I find being risque empowering! One of the things I love about my job! This link I posted on another thread as well as the original pole dance article is typically risque pole dance but I feel it showcases the true power talent and ability of the feminine mystique:)
Deletehttps://youtu.be/niEt90Vt5C0
Camila giorgi has very similar strength and ability she would make a good pole dancer ;) good link! I love the boxing video too Caz - she is punching the lights out of the bloke oh yes ha ha
Elise your observation about bare chested men nearly made me spit out my coffee, so true! Especially when the out of shape ones do it and they think it makes them look and act so tough! Pmsl!
well done Tessa for beating your boyfriend up in wrestling and now kick boxing too! Girl power!! Polegirl xx
Tessa and Caz, first of all thanks a lot for your answers! It's very interesting to see how you enjoy to beat up males in very feminine way and dress code. It's even more humiliating for the guy, especially if he can feel how much you enjoy that. Can, I know there's nothing I-or any males- could do about it. But I confess, it's not only humiliating, but also very emasculating for us, to get overpowered like that. You're putting down all our pride.
DeleteYou 're right, Polegirl, there is a unique charm in anyhow being "risque", as long as its definition tries to reduce our aesthetic options so arbitrarily. We are the stronger gender so we are the only ones that can have a say on how we 'll dress, behave etc. And you know what? There is something I can share with you on here, to help put pole dancing into perspective as a sport (because THAT is what it is). As you might have seen in other posts on this blog, I play tennis. I 've had my attempts at various opponents of both genders. Guess who is the toughest one I 've seen? A slim and delicate pole dancer, not too different from the girl in the video you provide the link for. I was 18 back then, just before finishing senior high school, when one day I suddenly saw her, surrounded by several boys who insisted on decorating her with a cosmetic surname all pole dancers have had to counter at some point (I feel ashamed to use it, even just as a reference). I obviously wanted to defend her, but wasn't sure how, so I asked a very specific friend of mine for help. This friend of mine is an exceptional discourser, as well as very skilled in Tae Kwon Do. Knowing her, I knew she would first try conversation and this is why I chose specifically her. Eva didn't disappoint, but the boys did (they tried a physical attack on all of us, which resulted in them getting severely beaten up and sent to hospital). In general I think Eva saved most of the day, but Giulia (the pole dancer) did a lot better than we could expect her to do. After this she thanked us for helping and we soon became friends. Since then I 've played countless tennis matches with her, as her overwhelmingly powerful serves and returns work wonders on my shot control skills, a key element of my game. I 'll never forget the first time I faced her. I roughly knew what to expect, but trying to keep control against such an insanely hard hitter proved to be an impossible task. She beat me 0-3 sets hands down (0-6, 0-6, 0-6) and obviously is the only person to have ever done so. My average match against female opponents lasts longer than 2h40' but this one ended in 1h52' and left me as exhausted as I 've never been again. The other pole dancers I 've met along the way are also extremely tough opponents on the court, so I definitely suggest respect toward pole dancing. Going to my remark about bare chested men, I wouldn't make it had it not been true. In my opinion, shape doesn't affect men's aesthetical quality so much. Somehow they always manage to look hideous, hopefully someone can explain for us how this happens...
DeleteExactly, Paillasse. Your pride is our prey. Personally I don't care how humiliating or emasculating this may feel for guys. My priority is to work well for society and hand it in better than I received it. Taking down male pride is an undeniable part of the process and I think you know why. Elise
Hi Tessa, totally with you on this. I too spar, wrestle & play fight with my partner and kick his ass 99% of the time now. When we first stated out it was like 10%. He's always been a big fan of UFC and would always challenge me to a play fight after watching on a Sat nite, clear away the coffee table, push the sofa back and just roll. He was always amazed at how strong I was and he took an interest in developing my skills and over the years I've honed my fighting technique on him. To coin a phrase - Now I am the master! He's a classic jock type and keeps in good shape, but so do I and I am stronger and faster than him and there's nothing he can do against my scissor holds. He admits girls are naturally better fighters. Oh, I also agree with you about thongs - best things to fight in for a girl. I like the black one piece swimsuit style like in the Eric Prydz video. Kait
DeleteElise, thanks for your honest answer. It's quite scary to know that our male pride is your prey. So we males better fight very hard to try to keep it? Why taking down our pride is part of the process?
DeleteWhat do males really have to be "proud" of anyway? Our inferior bodies are only impressive if female power is ignored and kept hidden. We belong where the superior sex will put us. I for one am not proud to be male but humble in my maleness which exists in the shadow of the Female.
DeleteSeriously now, Paillasse, do you not know why? Male pride is the basic cause of so many wrongs, you don't want to get me started on them, do you? Elise
DeleteGreat post as always Elise, thank you <3 I’m glad you have noticed how good a sport pole dancing is and the insults that you quite rightly describe as ‘cosmetic surnames’ we get for flaunting a girls physical superiority. Have you ever been tempted to take it up :) I have a feeling you will excel at it! I love the prowess i have developed from my childhood and enhanced through pole dancing. And yes even the gentlest of pole dancers are handy on a fight, especially against a man ;) your post is a great example of uniting againstvname calling boys, all mouth but can’t back it up when faced with girl power!
DeleteKait I love that song!! And yes the outfits are great, I have a leotard just the same :) shame Eric prydz is a minger and looks an idiot though lol Polegirl xx
How could I not notice?!? Actually I have tried pole dancing along with Giulia and a few other girls whom I also regularly play tennis with. They seem pleased by my attempts, but I think it is too hard for me. I am more suited to sports that allow me to win via pace manipulation. Many people don't realise it, but tennis is such a sport. My average match against any female opponent lasts longer than 2h40' as you can also see in my previous comment - how this is possible is very easy to explain. Tennis offers a very wide variety of spins to use depending on the occasion. Learn to use them effectively and you 'll see how they help in pace manipulation. And I bet you already are smart enough to see how pace manipulation can translate into wins. You are a seriously strong athlete as I can tell from your sport. So, if you learn in practice what you need for manipulating the pace in tennis matches, you will become a very serious force in the sport. Elise
DeleteElise, how male pride could be the cause of so many wrongs ? Aren't we allowed to keep a little pride? And I would be interested by your thoughts about : when women will have taken down our pride, what is the future? How do you imagine or wish the new society to be?
DeletePaillasse, your pride is destructive so you 're not allowed any of it. Look at the world, what a mess it is in, all of it is your gender's fault. Aggressive males doing whatever suits them have made this world as shit as it is. Elise
DeleteMen need to be fully focussed when they fight and use all of their powers of concentration. It's off-putting enough having to face females in any kind of combat sport. If they were allowed to wear thongs this would add a whole new level of distraction. It would create arousal in the male which would cause his thought patterns to go haywire and he would not perform to his full potential. It would also be intimidating as hell and would give the female a massive unfair advantage. Carl
DeleteWe don't tell you what you should or shouldn't wear. Don't you dare complain again about us not listening to your demands on the matter. We can wear whatever shines to us. Thongs we want? Thongs be it. Simple. Alexia
DeleteThat's really beside the point. I'm talking about an unfair advantage, surely you are not comfortable with that? Carl
DeleteA massive unfair advantage???? really???
DeleteIf a man's thought patterns go haywire and he can't perform to his full potential just because she is wearing a thong, then that is a weakness of us men and has absolutely nothing to do with her.
Yes really. Sexual attraction to the opposite sex cannot be avoided. It is not a weakness. Therefore dressing in a way that provokes sexual arousal in your opponent thus restricting his ability is unfair when it comes to mixed combat sports.
DeleteHey everyone sorry not been on here that often but been occupied with other things. But I do look every once in a while. Feel the need to comment here though, because one thing that really gets my goat (as well as general sexism, chauvinism, and the patriarchal system and is supporters as a whole) its men making excuses for losing because they are too besotted by a woman’s physique and beauty to be able to compete as well as they might. I mean what rubbish! Yes a female fighter/Amazon in a bikini thong is intimidating as a physical threat in the same way as say a muscled Maori rugby player performing a haka - psyche tactics used by everyone and not what is being said. - Does this mean a woman you deem unattractive wouldn’t stand a chance against you? Does this mean a gay man will have a better chance of winning and that the outcome would be different? Does this mean a lesbian ufc fighter will struggle against her opponents because she is too turned on? Its just absurd and disturbingly the same rational and excuse rapists use when they say ‘it was her fault I did it she dressed provocatively.’ Your argument is highly insulting, sexist and a cheap shot to turn the humiliation of male defeat and ultimate female victory into a way of shaming women by implying they can only win a physical contest by underhand seduction in the same way rapists try to slut shame their untrained amazon (or patriarchal imposed female) victims. Do you honestly think that is why a woman has an advantage when she competes in a thong or similar? Any added advantages come from her own feeling of empowerment and confidence in her body and less restrictions on movement. Once again how dare you slut shame us like you are a victim, pathetic xx>>xy Ace
DeleteHi Ace,
DeleteI love reading your comments and articles and it's great to see you are still involved. You have many talents and being great with words is one of them. You showed me so many truths, thank you so much for that. I felt the same way about the attire but was not able to express myself in the same way you did.
Rather than "great with words", Ace is great with perspectives. Her actual point is the lack of through-thinking seen in Carl's comments as she presents basic examples he never seemed to consider. Elise
DeleteI'm not being sexist, I'd say the same if men wanted to wear thongs in mixed combat sports (which of course they never would) And I'm certainly not suggesting it is the only way female fighters have an advantage. I've sparred with females in kick boxing, boxing and BJJ and I know only too well about the natural advantages they have and their vast untapped potential. Psyching out your opponent is one thing but the Haka is not performed through the game and both teams have the opportunity to perform one or turn their backs
DeleteClose physical contact with a member of the opposite sex is bound to trigger a sexual response in a guy, even if he doesn't necessarily deem his opponent attractive. Maybe it's the same for women, you tell me? A woman wearing a thong to show off her powerful glutes is a deliberate act of intimidation designed to increase the fear factor in her male opponent.
I'm offended that you compare this view to slut shaming or excusing of rapists. I believe women should be able to wear what they want in everyday life and it is NEVER a green light for men to attack them or even call them a slut. Also, if you'r talking about your amazon revolution then of course you can wear what you want to fight men, no one can stop you, but in the meantime sporting competition should be fair. Carl
The point being that psyche tactics ARE legitimate! It's not our fault that ours are better and more effective than yours. They are all part of the package, if you cannot deal with them, then you lose! Nothing unfair about it, you get the opportunity to psyche a female opponent too. Do you really think female opponents don't feel intimidated facing an often larger male opponent? You are being ridiculous! Tessa
DeleteLegitimate or not, psyche tactics aren't used by all of us. I adore how I look in a thong, I don't give a shit what my opposition happens to think of it. I wear it for my own aesthetical pleasure. Fullstop. Elise
DeleteToo right Elise!! The way I see it, I work damned hard to stay in good shape & being able to flaunt it in a thong is the reward! I really object to being forced to wear more when I'm doing my sport by the fragile egos of men!
DeleteI love wearing thongs for combat sports, albeit in the comfort of my own home at the moment, but I can't wait for the opportunity to do so at the gym, or even in competition one day. Just let girls be girls and let's see what happens. Tessa
UUUURRRRGGGHHH!!!! Just the thought of men wearing thongs on combat sports makes me want to throw up!!
DeleteHi Carl,
DeleteI hear what you are saying and I fully understand that a mixed fight could trigger erotic feelings in a male ( if she wears a thong or not ), but I disagree that that would make a sporting competition unfair. It's our weakness if we can't focus because of her attire.
Better aesthetics is what happens as long as we wear what we want, Tessa. Beauty is widely perceived as a very superficial attribute, but an entirely ugly world wouldn't be suitable for the average human's morale.
DeleteI think a man in a thong would look funny. I saw once a photo of a girl's father who wore minishorts to make her think they don't "look cute", but the key is that a man's legs look hideous in comparison to a girl's legs, so minishorts look cute on us, but ridiculous on men. I suppose the same should go for thongs... We are the epitome of beauty, we can look good in pretty much anything, thongs just make this more obvious. A man in a thong would look ridiculous. Thongs, minishorts etc are bound to make much more sense on a woman, because unlike men we do have bodies worth showing, as long as we do it to satisfy our own aesthetics. Looking good enough for one's own taste is very important for the person's morale so wearing what we want is our one and only option. I might even go out completely naked if I get angry with all this fuss. Enough. Elise
I really don't buy into this idea that men look silly or funny wearing thongs. I think we cling to this notion to hide our embarrassment at the fact that actually it can be a turn-on. If a guy is in good shape, then he will look good in a thong. Let's not pretend all guys are hideous. I happen to be attracted to the opposite sex and I love a nice male butt....just saying. Ems
DeleteMy feet are also attracted to male butts. Alexia
DeleteIn spite of being straight, I agree with Elise. Even the best-looking man looks hopeless in comparison to female beauty. Pretending to adore a man's looks would not make me any "straighter". It would only make me a licker, which in my moral code is a disgrace. Tanya
DeleteAdmiring a guy's looks makes you a disgrace?? Interesting...
DeleteTessa is absolutely right here. I have often felt intimidated facing male opponents in wrestling & NoGi grappling. They can wear vest tops to show off their larger shoulders & biceps. I've even had to fight guys who wear no top at all!! We would never be allowed to do the same. I guess that would be seen as too intimidating, right? So Carl I'm afraid you need to rethink. Girls have learned to overcome the physical intimidation that we face from you guys, you must do the same! I never really gave this any thought before, but having seen this thread I am now a hugely in favour of thongs for girls fighters!!! Sira
DeleteI agree with Ems actually. Some Roman soldiers used to wear leather thongs in combat as shown in the film 300. Pretty sexy if you ask me? That said, women athletes are much better suited to wear them in competitive sports and combat sports and as far as mixed combat goes, intimidation cuts both ways, deal with it cry babies!! Suze
DeleteGreat input from the girls as always Elise is on point as usual with “Looking good enough for one's own taste is very important for the person's morale so wearing what we want is our one and only option” You have to feel comfortable and liberated in yourself if you feel you look good your mood is good. We all have days where we feel fat and ugly, sometimes I may have the odd spot or my belly feels bloated, but you know what I have a stretch, apply a little make up choose an outfit I like dominate some guys and feel good for the rest of the day.
DeleteAs far as tastes goes, I have said before that I am attracted to strong muscular men. I like strong, say a strong muscular man with confidence - massive confidence - and then I want to dominate him physically, sexually. Hold him helpless as I demonstrate my physical power and superiority, make him beg and admit I’m stronger. That’s my thing, I agree with Ems and Suze. Roman soldiers look freckin hot!! They are even more cute when they aer getting beaten by Amazons ;) Ace
Hi Silvia,
ReplyDeleteIf you are as skilled in karate as my wife then you are a formidable woman. A woman in a GI, wearing a black belt and the right attitude can be very intimidating. She can easily overpower several untrained men.
I don't care about intimidating my opponents. I only try my best at actual fighting. Silvia
DeleteI don't care what is considered "sexy" or "risque". I wear what shines to me. I just care whether my shoulder and arm muscles are visible enough while I slap the wrongdoer like the bitch he is. Enough said. Alexia
ReplyDeleteWhat about Lara Zhang, the Chinese bodybuilder who suddenly is accused of "pornography" just because she posted a video of bodybuilding poses in usual bodybuilder attire? Alexia
