Female UFC fighter refuses to fight a man, not wanting to help show a man hitting a woman

Article here. Excerpt:

'Even though Ronda Rousey says she could beat a man in her own weight class under the right circumstances, she will never be involved in a coed fight.

"It's not a reality," Rousey said to Doug Gottlieb when asked about fighting a man. "They're not gonna do anything like that. Fights are chaotic. Anything can happen. And there's no setting in which we should condone a man hitting a woman."

After Rousey defeated Cat Zingano in 14 seconds, many voiced their curiosity to see how well the bantamweight champion would do against a male. UFC president Dana White even made a joke about Rousey fighting a man after Zingano's beatdown. However, Rousey will have no part of it.

"I really just don't think that any athletic commission on earth would ever condone something like that," Rousey said. "Fights are going to go both ways. You're going to see both people hitting each other. I don't think we should celebrate a man hitting a woman in any kind of setting."'

"Even though Ronda Rousey says she could beat a man in her own weight class under the right circumstances, "

Apparently, she believes she can beat a man in a fight. Would that not make her a threat to a man, especially one untrained in fighting? And wouldn't a man then have a legitimate reason to fight back or protect himself? Don't men have a right to self-defense, even against a woman?

Rousey repeats the same old, same old of feminist theory. It's okay for women to hurt men, but men can't hurt back--or even defend themselves against a trained fighter. Or against a woman with a gun or a knife. In short, feminists believe men don't have the right to self-defense if their assailant is a woman.

That would give women another right that men don't have--the right to hurt, harm, or kill another human being with impunity. That's what the feminists want, just as they want to take away due process rights for men accused of rape. Men don't have a right to self-defense and they don't have a right to due process. In both cases, the woman can inflict harm on the man and he can't fight back, either legally or with his fists.

The fact is, no man could win such a confrontation. If she beats him, he is the loser who lost to a woman. If he wins, he's the b@stard who beat a woman. Either way, he should have just stayed home. That's the real reason that such a fight will never take place.

Of course, it also gives her cover. She can claim that she can take any man, knowing that she will never be asked to prove it. And, she seems quite content with that. How sad that the queen of "grrl power" chooses to take a "pussy pass" when her mouth writes checks that her a$$ can't cash.
