OT: Female Victory

Thank you for this delightful story ,,,, Girls should learn to protect themselves ,,, In Israel an 80 year old lady drove a thief away with her iron ... mirjam

I'll bet they don't seek medical help too quickly!

We had an incident here in town recently -- a young man went into a beauty school to rob them. The women jumped him, knocked him down, and proceeded to beat him up while another one called the police.

He said later that those women were crazy.

I'll bet he won't try to rob them again though.

It just goes to show that you don't mess with females who *come from a big gene pool*! LOL

Good one Mavia!

And when they do, won't tell the truth about how it happened.

One of my grabby dates went home with a black eye. Told his roommate he tripped over something. His roommate knew me real well, and knew his pushy tendencies with women, and put 2+2 together to come up with a surprisingly accurate rumor.

If the stick shift hadn't been in the way of my kicking foot, he would've had an invisible injury instead. (That is, invisible till he sat with the sopranos at choir practice. Bwahahahaha)

Way to go!! (ex-RAAF myself, but I had it a lot easier as I was taller than some of the males on my course)

I never let the "guys" get the better of me on an exercise either. As it was 25+ years ago there were some comments about PMS that would now be seen as "politically incorrect", but in those days we all laughed about it together instead of getting a lawyer to scream discrimination to the press and courts. We (females) had only just been "accepted" as part of the RAAF (as opposed to the WRAAF) and for my first 3 or 4 years crusty old Warrant Officers called me Madam instead of Ma'am LOL.

I would've been fired for running to a lawyer, but I got respect by approaching them "man to man", threatening physical violence if they ever did/said such a thing again. I rarely had the problem twice, because most of them were well aware that this was no idle threat: I really could bodily pick them up and smash them into a wall. It pays to be a "big girl". :)

My sisters-in-law are "power women" and I am extremely proud of them. They are all short (around 5' 2" or less) and petit and they all KICK ASS in their own special ways.

My sister-in-law Betty is her town's police chief and gives classes on self defense and taking down "perps" at the local police academy. On her last vacation, she single handedly brought down the "anthrax doctor" after witnessing him abuse his wife and children. She did this WITHOUT drawing her gun. After she retires from the police force, she plans to go and work for the FBI and all I have to say is TERRORISTS BEWARE!

My sister-in-law Gail is a former Army sharp shooter. She is a mother of twins that were born so prematurely that they were in danger of respiratory and cardiac failure whenever they were asleep. The hospital sent them home with a special monitoring system and gave Gail instructions on infant CPR. The first months of their lives, she slept on the floor in their bedroom waiting for the monitors to go off and spring into action. The first month it went off so frequently that Gail almost went out of her mind, until the hospital figured out that the technician that set up the monitoring system had done it incorrectly. Did I mention that she went through all this while still being a mother to a two year old?

My sister-in-law Chrissy defeated her husband and a next door neighbor at basketball when she was 5 months pregnant with twins (she knew she was pregnant, she just didn't know she was gonna get a two-for-one). Her husband has since left her and their four boys for another woman. She is now raising the boys, keeping house, and supporting her family without any help.

My sister-in-law Vicki had a seriously bad car accident when she was in her 30's and has spent the rest of her life in back braces, in and out of surgery, and living in a constant state of pain. She has maintained a positive outlook on life and if you were to meet her and talk to her, you would never know that she was hurting.

My sisters-in-law are the embodiment of "female victory" to me. They are strong, they are powerful, and they are very warm and human. I hope one day to have daughters that grow up just like these special ladies.

In posting the original clip, it was in no way intended to discredit achievements by any women, far from it. It was merely interesting that in this particular case, one young woman overpowered two hoodlums and sent them running. I also posted it because all too often women may not walk down the same street at night that a man may, because they can be overpowered.

I am glad for all the women you told us about, but it was never my intention to belittle any females efforts, as I think anyone who has known me longer can attest.

Glad you liked it, and it's all true.

That was what so appealed to me , the stories of real women you know and can tell us about them... Wonderful family ,,, mirjam

Er, I think you misunderstood why I posted. I never thought you were belittling anyone. I read your post and thought about what that young girl did and how strong and powerful she is and how strong and powerful women can be. It made me think about the "power women" I have known in my life and how they are inspirational to me. This made me want to share the story of my sisters-in-law. I was sort trying to iterate the "you go girl" tone of your post in my own feeble way.
