Girls beating up guys in TV and Film

Further to a previous post about a male vs female fight scene in a James Bond film - it got me thinking about how things have changed in the past couple of decades. It is actually very common these days to see depictions of females overpowering or getting the better of males in mainstream TV drama series and films. I'm not quite sure as to why. Maybe it is seen as more entertaining to have an outcome to a confrontation which may be the opposite of what most people expect. Or maybe it is just because there are more female writers who want to change perceptions of female physicality?

Whether it's Agent Lisbon in "The Mentalist" or Siva from NCIS or countless other female characters tackling and arresting male baddies, there seems to be an appetite for this kind of mixed action drama. This is of course most welcome if it encourages more girls to change their views on their own physicality, my only problem with these portrayals is that they are rarely done convincingly.... What I mean by that is that the female characters concerned including the two mentioned above just don't have a convincing physical presence and don't look or act like they could punch their way out of a wet paper bag - therefore the action has to be so overly choreographed and contrived that it doesn't look realistic and ends up just being patronising.

That said, I recently saw a scene which nails it. It was in a drama series called Blacklist. What I could make of the plot is that a male and a female FBI agent were persuing a female assasin who lured her targets by posing as a prostitute and injecting them with deadly chemicals when they were at their most vulnerable. The FBI agents had tracked her down to a hotel where she had just completed a job. The male agent caught up with her in the lift and as he pulled his gun and tried to arrest her, a frantic fight ensued. One of the most convincing M/F fights I've seen on TV. The female assassin was tall - taller than the guy and had a good, powerful looking physique. Despite this the fight was actually quite even as they traded punches and took turns pinning eachother up against the walls of the lift car. Eventually the female's greater strength and skill prevailed. As more of her punches connected than his, the male gradually succumbed as she pressed home her advantage, jumping on his back and executing a choke hold. the male agent collapsed forward under her weight and passed out as she crushed him to the floor. She made good her escape as he lay defeated, motionless.

This was so much more realistic that most of the other M/F fights. Firstly because the female looked physically capable to start with and secondly because the fight wasn't totally one sided - the male FBI agent gave a good account of himself, visibly trying his hardest - but she was just too strong for him. Hollywood - take note. It is perfectly feasible and acceptable for a woman to prevail against a man in a physical fight - You don't have fake it...

More girls need to take up sport - you bet!

I read an article in the Evening Standard yesterday which got my interest. It was basically saying that girls these days need to do more sports in schools - right on I thought to myself, but the reasoning behind the sentiment made me chuckle....Girls need to do more sport...so that they get to experience failure!

The performance of girls in the accademic field is now so consistently high that teachers are worried that they are never exposed to failure and therefore may lack the emotional fortitude to cope with disappointment. The concern seems to be that girls constantly inhabit a win, win, win environment in the classroom, so need exposure to an environment where they will at some point experience what it is to lose - an inherent part of sporting activity.

This can only be a good thing as it will encourage more girls to fulfil their physical potential too! Then it will be win, win, win all the way!!!

Hello everyone. A friend of mine sent me this link earlier today:

The Right Perspective

The following is an article I found somewhere on the internet (can't remember where). I saved it a while ago and read it again recently. I couldn't help thinking that this girl has the right perspective..... Comments please - (unless you are a troll or a marauding misogynist, in which case don't bother).

Many guys today think strong girls are more attractive and girls realize that. Many guys dream about girl who can beat them in an equal contest of strength and skill, this is something deep inside any guy in the world. Men are yielding to this and this is causing them to desire to be defeated physically by the female as well. That is where a lot of the female wrestling fantasies within men are coming from. Do you know why?

In 19 century women were forced to lighten up on their levels of

Intellect, because males started to turn on smart women .In 20

century women became more liberated and financially independent. Guys

become turned on successful and liberated woman .Now in 21 century

it seems that the “Barbie” look is out and guys prefer strong sporty girls and females today are becoming more comfortable to build

muscles and strength. More and more television shows and films have strong female characters.

The results:

A Female teenager in the past would rarely think about a fighting a

boy, but now she isn't afraid, because these shows tell her not only

is it possible to beat a male, it's probable. These shows tell her

the boys lost out to “girl power”! Guys actually like it that way and

girls like it that way too.

Girls are becoming more aggressive and guys are becoming more submissive. Guys just waste their times for fun, drinking, playing computer games, watching movies and TV….They just cant stand the pressure ,they just cant handle problems and take responsibility, so girls are taking charge in school, sports, workplace, marriage… The female dominant nature still lies dormant in many women and it takes a male's submissive nature to draw it out. But as young girl become more successful and more aggressive in the classroom and in the business and sports world, women will more readily embrace their dominant persona and will gladly accept and even demand their male partner's submission.

And now society is evolving into a female dominant society. Women are

starting to take charge, and men desire to submit to the female.

The Genie is out of her bottle and males can't put her back in.

Lots of men aren't even aware of that side of themselves or if they are, they feel it's somehow wrong to acknowledge it. Guys are becoming submissive. Girls are defeating them more and more in equal contests of strength and skill, especially one that involves as much body contact like wrestling. This breaks down barriers and helps a man discover his true sexual nature. They

get to maximize their capacity for sexual pleasure and the men find that, if they are true sexual submissive, their pleasure is vastly heightened as well. Girls are becoming bigger and stronger with each passing day - Sure a taller, heavier male is stronger than a smaller female opponent, but when the sexes are of an equal size, the female is usually victorious.

As new millennium girls are proving superior in school and colleges, the next generation of women will never know a world where males were assumed superior. They will look around them and see the increasingly absurd anachronism of men in power. Young boys are already confronted by the concept of female superiority. Besides learning about studies that conclude women are superior, they are painfully aware that they are out-matched by girls their own age. Males are already being conditioned to accept the female as superior. It will have a profound impact on society.

Anyway fragile male egos are taking a whipping. The 3rd Millennium

belongs to women. We are going to take over. It's on the cards.

Ps; I bet you turn on right now!

Crossfit - Beauty in strength

CrossFit - the way forward for women? Changing bodies and attitudes - sounds like it...

Who says females can't have upper body strength? As for lower body strength? Don't even go there.... This girl is 17 and she would put most sportsmen to shame...

Upper body strength

Men usually have bigger, more muscular upper bodies than women, but does that mean they are always stronger??? Not so according to the clip above where a cheerleader humbles a big tough football guy. This is not an uncommon occurrance judging by the hundreds of other similar clips available on the internet. Also in my own experience, whenever I've seen girl vs guy armwrestling, the girl always won. If guys are supposed to have such an advantage in upper body strength - how is it that girls win arm wrestling matches so often and with such ease too?

Anyone have any experiences to share???

Another male ego bites the dust...

I've often heard it argued that girls only do well against boys in the lower age and weight classes and that after puberty it's a different situation entirely. For the most part that seems to be the case, but I think it is more to do with the fact that girls tend not pursue their chosen sports much beyond the ages of 15 / 16 which is a crying shame. 

However things seem to be changing. There is growing evidence to suggest that more girls are taking their sports more seriously these days and are more inclined to continue competeing in the upper age groups and weight classes. There are certainly more clips emerging on the internet. Below is a good example. Not sure how old the competitors were here, but both look to be over 16, so it just goes to show that boys don't necessarily overtake girls physically after puberty - something this guy seems to have a hard time accepting....

Awesome Roxy

Roxy really puts this poor lad through the mill. He does well to survive her triangle choke, but she gets him with an armbar submission instead. The boy is tough....but the girl is tougher...

Can a 14 year-old girl take down a US marine? Watch this...

Ok she's obviously trained in the art of grappling, but he's a lance corpral in the US army. He must be pretty tough to at least survive basic training, but he is clearly no match for this younger, more powerful girl. look how quickly and effectively she brings him down and makes him tap. Apparently she was only 14 at the time!!! Girls - think you can't take on and beat the tough guys? - Think again...

Leading the charge

Girls are taking up combat sports in ever increasing numbers and a new breed of females is emerging, one that is not scared to take on the boys. In most countries girls are allowed to compete against boys and this is a hugely important step forward as it allows girls to properly develop their skills. The sight of a girl beating a boy in a physical competition makes many people (mostly men) uncomfortable whilst female on-lookers generally rejoice. Maybe one day it will be no big deal, but before that day comes there will no doubt be countless more bruised male egos along the way.... The victorious girl in this clip is Christina Zynko from Brasil - see how her superior skill, strength and endurance pays off against a male opponent who looks to be taller and heavier...

Women's technical advantages

Continuing to fulfil my promises, I 'll now analyse what technical advantages women have over men and how they occur.

First of all, it's a myth that "men are stronger". They just look bigger. Keep in mind that size isn't everything. Actually, the strength of a muscle is calculated with the following multiplication: size*quality. So, what is muscle quality? It's the pureness of the muscle mass. Testosterone has a big disadvantage that has an effect here: it is fat-friendly. So it attracts fat cells as it flows through the body, but these fat cells often can't get past all the gaps, so they stick in between the muscle fibres. And this is how the muscles get to look bigger without becoming stronger. This also explains why "pure testosterone" is, as I said in the doping article, a myth, as far as it goes for doping. And apart from all these, there also is that experiment a team of Swedish physiologists did, which proves that the female hormones actually protect the muscles (contrary to what masculinists scream all over the planet). They found a man and a woman of the same age, same height, same weight and same muscle mass percentage and told them to armwrestle. Not only did the woman win, but the man's bicep got ripped in two! The contestants were also wearing a special piece of hormone-monitoring equipment, which proved all the fat-friendliness of testosterone, while also showing that estradiol is a thinner liquid than testosterone, so estradiol not only keeps fat out of the muscles, but it also lubricates the muscle cells a lot more efficiently, which is why women can handle heavier training, while men often have to deal with muscle injuries (ruptures etc). But, no matter what your gender is, it is good to keep in mind that everything has its limits. Even the best cars break down at some time. Just like this, even the clearest muscles can't take any kind of training. How will you deal with this? Listen to your body. Plan your training according to how you feel your muscles. If you set your targets too high, you are at risk of a muscle injury. If you set them too low, you won't progress as fast as you can. (Yes, I understand that not every single girl/woman has or can buy the equipment needed for measuring hormone ratios... But if you have such equipment, keep in mind that, the more female your ratio is, the heavier the training you can handle with no problems.)

Proper sports though aren't all about strength, are they? Don't worry for this, girls! We have more advantages than just the ability to gain more strength (which in fact is just the tip of the iceberg). A very important advantage of estradiol is its conductivity. And if you wonder how this helps, I may remind you how our nerve system works. Or did you remember already that it works with electric signals? And exactly because these signals aren't very intense in any case, it's very important that we have estradiol which lets us enjoy a more efficient transportation of nerve signals (they travel much faster and do not have that much loss, compared to what happens in men). The better speed helps us react faster (training helps this even more by making the muscle cells more elastic and therefore the muscle more flexible, that's also how we are more flexible than men, in case you wondered) and the better signal end quality helps accuracy, which is extremely important if you want to perform difficult techniques or just aim very accurately (both things are essential in certain sports). A well planned training schedule also helps a lot with technique, because strong muscles that haven't surpassed their limits are very easy to handle when accuracy is more important than strength (i.e. a pass in football).

Many people think that strong athletes are artless, or technically advanced athletes are weak. Well, this is wrong, especially for women. Some strong men have no technique, I 've seen it. Some weak men are more accurate than these strong men, I 've seen it too. But there also are many weak men with no real technical skills, while most women do a great job combining strength (or the margin to gain it) and technique. One of the most important reasons for these differences in the ability to combine these two things is a thing we call "skeleton geometry", or more politely, "body infrastructure". This basically has to do with how the joints fold. The scientists still haven't found the exact reasons, but the more female your hormone ratio is, the straighter your joints fold. And this is a lot more important than it might sound. If you paid attention to physics lessons when at school, you should remember the lever law. Taking the bicep as an example, the lever is the forearm, the pulling force is the bicep's strength and the movement base obviously is the joint. So if the joint folds straight, the pulling force is applied vertically to the base's axis, so it sees no angle resistance, therefore the bicep's strength is fully used and the bicep itself doesn't have angular frictions to face against the arm bone it sits on. Do not get confused with this though. Most men's joints look good with bare eye, but they always have that slight inclination which may not be easily visible, but puts quite a big hurdle against men's muscle efficiency, which mostly affects accuracy though, as those angular frictions don't let the corresponding muscle work as it should, even though the muscle owner might not sense them.

Another technical advantage we have over men is our better breath system. Men's lungs are sometimes bigger but always much less efficient. Science hasn't figured exactly how this happens yet, but again the more feminine you are, the better you do. So it's not a miracle that the worst female football players cover more distance per match than the best males. I 've never seen a male football player cover more than 12,5Km, nor have I seen a female football player cover less than 14,5Km. Well, this (at least) 2Km gap isn't a result of some weird coincidence. (Note that I am comparing pros with pros. Amateurs aren't trained correctly, especially female amateurs, who are used by FIFA for nothing else than communicational reasons. Sad thing is that some of these female amateurs are labelled as "pros", just so that people don't discover the real professional football. This is also why the real professional women's teams have no internet sites, nor does their organising authority, which is named Women's UEFA but is totally irrelevant to Blatter's and Platini's advertisement companies. I 'll explain more on this at some time.)

Another technical advantage I mentioned above is flexibility, and I also explained how it occurs. I don't think I need to add anything on this topic. Just one name: Chloe Bruce. I think she's a good example of female flexibility. Her signature move (Scorpion kick) isn't doable by men.

And from all these, there is something else that occurs. A properly trained woman can and will run faster than any man in the universe. The straight joints help the most with speed, but the better muscle control is also very important, while the lubrication given by estradiol to the muscles helps maintain great speed for longer without weird pains. Ah, and as I mentioned pain, we also have better pain thresholds. This has been proved because pain can be measured, and childbirth pain isn't "a different kind of pain", so if a masculinist tells you otherwise, you can go scientific on him.

Apart from all these technical advantages of ours, we also have two mental advantages over men. Concentration skill and sense of discipline. Neuroscientists haven't figured out how the concentration skill ends up about 3 times better in women than in men, but the difference of skill itself has been proved multiple times. On the other hand, you 'll see that women's teams give out a more solid image than men's teams, and this totally has to do with the sense of discipline. While a male football player will go for dribbling everyone and scoring a goal at all costs, a female football player will quickly assess the situation and do something that actually makes sense and perfectly fits what the team's trainer has asked for in the dressing room.

If there is something you 'd like to add on this topic, you can leave comments. Thanks.

The New Amazon Nation

The year is 2099, the dawning of a new millenium and a new era - the modern world's first true matriarchy - The New Amazon Nation...The battle of the sexes is over - and guess who won?

"Once woman defeats man physically....she has it all"

Are girls really the weaker sex???

We are all brought up to believe that girls are the weaker sex, but isn't this just a myth created by centuries of social conditioning??? It's a widely recognised fact that girls mature physically way ahead of boys so for virtually all of the school-going years, girls should be stronger. The fact that school sports are so strictly segregated helps perpetuate the idea that sports are something that boys should take seriously but girls shouldn't. Are things changing though? Girls certainly seem to taking up sports in greater numbers and in sports like wrestling girls are now allowed to compete against boys and it's actually quite common for the girls to win.

More girls are showing the boys who's boss

Could this be the key to changing our beliefs about feamle physical capabilites? Not so long ago it was considered not worth even educating girls - but now look, they are out-performing boys academically by greater margins ever year. Could the same thing happen in the physical realm? Will a change in mind-set and lifestyle result in females maintaining their physical strength advantage through to adulthood in the future? Females are relative newcomers to competative sports and they seem to be narrowing the gap in performance with males at an alarming rate. The future looks like being a scary place for males....

Introduction

There are plenty of blogs out there with a so called "Amazon" theme, but most of them are written by well meaning older ladies and they feature mostly poetry, ancient artworks and wistful musings about the so called "Power of Women"and that's all very well if you want to indulge in that sort of thing, but to be honest - it ain't gonna change a damn thing for women today. If women are going to reach their full potential, we will need to face up to modern day realities and that means squaring up to men on all fronts - including physically, otherwise we will forever be held back. You cannot demand equality whilst accepting that you are physically weaker - and proceed to do nothing about it!

Archeological finds over the years have shown evidence that women were once as big and strong as men - if not stronger. They hunted and went into battle alongside men and against them. Since then the course of nature has been perverted and female have been conditioned and bred to be weak, pathetic and totally dependant. This has to change if we are to advance.

The New Amazon Nation is a radical new blog dedicated to the physical empowerment of girls and women. It is aimed at encouraging them to think differently, get to grips with their physicality and make a real change to the balance of power.

With all the other advances women are making, it is clear there will come a time when we will reign supreme and embody the sprirt of the ancient Amazons. There are plenty of hurdles and barriers in the way, but when you consider the advances women have made in just the last 100 years - there is no reason to suppose that we won't overcome them all....

Have you had any real life experience of this new breed of kickass girl? Perhaps you are one? Please leave a comment...
