You'd think that if people learned anything from comic books, its that ladies can be just as deadly as dudes. Especially with sharp things

Anyone is dangerous with a knife. All it takes is one low blow and that's it.

Its about both. Pretending that strength doesn't matter is nonsense. Size and strength don't entail a victory, but they are huge advantages.

OT what do you count Guinness as? Its too much to be a beer, and if you say malt liquor here, people think bad cadillacs and mad dog 40 40.

I believe it is known as a "stout."

Stout eh? thats an apt term.

Usually multiple blows are what happens, but thats the point of the knife. I hope that cuts through all the nonsense.

Well yes, if you wanna be technical about it! One kick to the jewels and then it's Stabby time!!!!!

That's not only deeply sexist, its dangerously wrong.

I have been attacked by a woman with a knife before. A knife isn't much use against someone who can bench more than you weigh and has a fist bigger than your jaw

One of the reasons I never carried my (perfectly legal) knife in public was because it was useless in self defence. Punching someone as quickly and as hard as I can is far more effective than making sure I had the right angle/place, and since I have no training at all it'd basically be useless.

Unless you're going to argue that a highly trained female assassin would be handy with a knife in which case yes, I would agree. That's why I don't date assassins

You'll never get to go on any crazy adventures with that attitude sir.

quite right sir, I guess I should have phrased it differently. strength and size help, but IMHO not as much as skill.

Yeah... on the plus side this is why I support and actively encourage women carrying firearms! The great equalizer ladies and gentlemen!

Are you being serious? It's bad enough that Frazzled managed to get away with every single post being a fething troll but not you too.

How did we go from hot chicks in cosplay costumes to knives and firearms?

I want to see Bigguns, not Big Guns!

What about bigguns with big guns?

Its actually quite effective. It makes you more polite so you don't escalate stupid situations, and is handy for when the zombies attack.

When jogging with the young wiener SWMBO likes to take along pepper spray, although she often ends up carrying Rodney halfway through (this is known as surprise attack wiener dog NOMNOMNOM!). On the weeks Rusty the Tank dog is there, she just takes him. Plus, if she's tired she could just ride him back.

Er....this is the USA. He's probably very serious. SWMBO has a very choice 9mm full of wide mouth bass in case of emergency.

I'm quite serious. Gun control whiners complain in every gun thread that comes up about how dangerous guns are. Well when you're a 90lb woman about to be attacked by a 200lb man suddenly dangerous doesn't seem so bad does it? As a tool, and given the nature of a tool a gun doesn't care how physically strong you are, it all comes down to the mind and how much time you're willing to put down to training. Many of the female shooters I know are better shots then me and my male friends.

I have to admit. I was hoping for something with bikini's.

You guys are making me think outside th box!

Now thats mor elike it!

You're in for an awful, awful wake-up call.

Yes it does. A 90lb girl firing a .357 is going to have issues.

TIL: Sharp metal is no match for MANLY MUSCLES. I need to get PUMPED and BENCH so I can SHATTER BLADES with my FISTS.

Stop objectifying you barbarian!

I'm sorry, more pics need to be studied...
Its almost like those gals who dress like superheroes. I wonder if they ever get harassed about it?

Why? GC was firing a 9mm Beretta 92 free hand and weighed considerably less than 80 lb at the time. Contrary to Hollywood a .357 is not much snappier.

Considering their models at photo shoots for the most part....

and honestly proper stance matters a lot more then size and weight ever will. Maybe if you're packing a .44 magnum or something but I know plenty of women you could consider "petite" who just love their snub nose .357s. 9mm/40S&W semi automatics seem to be the most popular amongst both genders though.

And cheaper ammo.

I used to love to take de wimminz out to shoot the .44. BLAM!!! They always loved it.

I saw a 40SW Revolver the other day...it was confusing as anything but a same ammo back up gun and then...why?

Please stay on-topic.

On topic, as I said, dress like that near a building site, a working mens club or a Naval base.

Men are bastards.. geeks are more polite than most frankly. She would have copped way more gak giving an interview on Camp Pendleton.
