The women in my family carry handguns, pepper spray and whistles. My advice to them is never let an attacker get close enough to grab them. All of them have good situational awareness which is the most important factor.

--------------------- sure it does , average sized male is generally bigger and stronger than the average woman Ace .Except as i pointed out big does not equal strong.generally men are bigger and stronger just as a natural occurance . Well , except for mrobamas Pajama Boys Ace .
The past few years, television writers have been on a ridiculous campaign to create female characters who are super-girls who can kick any man's ass.
Last week I saw, on Blindspot, a fistfight between a 110 pound woman ("Jane Doe") and a 200-pound man that was the worst example I have ever seen of this phenomenon. Repeatedly, the man would throw a punch at her, and she brushed it off by simply flicking her wrist at him. The scene ended with the guy being thrown (off-camera, of course) bodily into a courtyard, presumably by this featherweight woman. Give me a freakin' break.
This season, I've seen petite women knock men out with a single punch, physically throw them over walls, hold them in head-locks into submission, and break their body-parts by sheer force. It is like someone is converting cartoons into television drama.
In my reality, a normal, healthy woman without a weapon has exactly ONE chance to effectively attack a man (before he kicks the shit out of her), or to slow him down so that she can run away. And that chance is to strike one quick blow to a vulnerable body part, then run like hell. Failing that, she is in for a bad experience. Which is why women should carry either mace or some other form of weapon when traveling under circumstances where there is a threat of being assaulted.
What, exactly, is the point of portraying these fictional women as effective fighters against men? God forbid women in real life come to believe that they can hope to win a physical fight against an aggressive male attacker.
A similar phenomenon goes on with fictional women "bad guys" and police commanders. Invariably the head bad guy or the head of the government agency is some pretend-bad-ass woman.
Is Shonda Rhimes calling ALL the shots these days?
Nope. There are plenty of big guys that are not as strong as smaller guys.--------------------- sure it does , average sized male is generally bigger and stronger than the average woman Ace .Except as i pointed out big does not equal strong.generally men are bigger and stronger just as a natural occurance .

Obviously you didnt read my post. I know most men are stronger than women. i was just pointing out size doesnt equal strength.I've taught you as best I can Grasshopper Ace . Ignore my words if you like but if you can't see the reality of the generalization that women are generally weaker , smaller and less suitable to hand to hand combat with a male , well then you are on yer own G.Ace !!

So those jujitsu moves don't work? Normal untrained women, I agree with you. Women trained to fight using their attackers strength and momentum against them? They could kick a man's ass if they had to.
Is the underlying theme here women in military combat? Or are you only discussing women without weapons?
The difference in size, mass, and strength between men and women is not "cultural" nor is it an illusion. Go to any gym, and the weights being handles by the women are a joke. There are a few exceptions, of course, but these are exceptions. Skill at fighting can be learned, and there are techniques by which a smaller person can win an exchange with a larger person. Women (girls) who have done martial arts training tend to know their limitations, but pushing this garbage on television and in movies serves no real purpose, and can be harmful if girls take it seriously. Most women throwing a solid punch at a man will be more injured themselves by the impact than the man who is the recipient.
“And on this 40th anniversary of the first female cadets arriving at this academy, we are stronger because General Johnson leaves this institution, because Air Force Gen. Lori Robinson leads Northern Command, our nation’s first female combatant commander, and because all combat positions in our military are now open to women like you. We’re stronger because of it,” said Obama. Robinson leads both the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) and U.S. Northern Command (USNORTHCOMM). “Perhaps no element of our power is more enduring than the example that we set ourselves – the values we live as a nation and as individuals. That’s how we won the Cold War – not just with the strength of our arms, but with the power of our ideas, the power of our example,” the president said.
“It’s how we defend our nation, including our refusal to torture, because America doesn’t just insist that other countries respect human rights, we have to uphold them as well and lead the way. It’s how we treat those we capture. It’s one of the reasons we have to close the prison in Guantanamo, because America has to stand for rule of law,” he said. We live our values when our military like America itself truly welcomes the talents of all people. We’re stronger when our gay and lesbian cadets and troops can serve their country – a country they love without hiding who they love,” Obama said.
Obama recited the names of several Muslim-American cadets, saying America is “stronger” when cadets like these “know that we celebrate their service as proud patriotic Muslim-Americans who are also serving in our armed forces.” “So there you have it, a few thoughts from your commander-in-chief on how to keep our military strong, and our nation secure. We can never know what the future holds, but in the not-so-distant future when I’m no longer president, I will sleep well at night, because I know that men and women like you serve to keep us free,” he concluded.
Obama: U.S. Military Stronger Because All Combat Positions Are Open to Women
