As a female amatuer boxer, I witness and hear a great deal of things. Do not think people take it seriously.

i really dont think it is taken very seriously, but i think this is reflective of a lot of mainstream views on womens sports in general. The womens sports movement is still working on getting as much acceptance as possible, and while it probably wont ever catch up to men (not that it has to or should try to) the sport will suffer a bit in public opinion. I think there are very talented female fighers, its just since most boxing fights arent world championship fights, when you see female fights which dont display top notch competition its even harder for the sport to gain accpetance.

I admire & respect the women who watch the game! It's a great sport & I see no reason why they can't enjoy it as much as us guys can!\n\nWhether or not I'd be cynical about the gal would depend on her & how much she actually know about the teams & players!

well from the top of my head, \ni believe woman can be evil, and compete with eachother\nthere r different breeds and diffirent kinds, some crave attention, some exploit the fact that they r women and can get anything they want from men, \nand some woman hate on woman who display confidence,this is what i find from my observation, or peeple watching as i like to sometimes do in public places.\n\n23f live in georgia.\npeace  =p

Muaythai is a tough sport.  The knockdowns and KOs seem to be less than in boxing but the careers are shorter.  The guys who do it tend to be kids from the countryside, who dedicate most of their teens to this sport.  The ritual and feeling of a muaythai match is fun to see and I really think regular boxing tends to be more dangerous.  Me, I'll watch, too damn old to get hit!

i dont think its weird that girls want to watch wwe or any kind of wrestling.  that just shows that they arent prissy or stuck up snobs that watch soaps all day... thats all wrestling is for us guys is a soap opera.  i have several friends that are girls that i watch wrestling with and argue with about storylines and stuff.  guys who say a girl shouldnt watch wrestling needs to be quiet because he is a person who thinks girls cant do stuff like guys can.

I agree with you that it does occur, though I feel people too often cry discrimination just so they can get something out of it, not necessarily because it truly occurred.  Sorry if that's not really an opposing argument, but perhaps it will add another angle to your paper?

I love wrestling.I know it's mostly men but I still hope to be a wwe diva some day. People think I'm a tom boy just because I watch wrestling but I'm not.They should also give more credit to the diva's because they work almost just as hard.I don't think It should be amazing that females watch wrestling. I was instantly attracted to the sport.

It is not true as a whole. It may be true for some individuals. Plenty of women think, and plenty of men feel. In fact, most of them do.

Sorry you are experiancing this. Someone must not be comfortable with you or your views. I'm not really suprised though, it seems some people will do anything to  prevent a person from speaking for themself and presenting a reasonable point of view. If they want to ask silly questions (which can be fun) let them do it for themself.

If it's deserved ? Boy somebody is taking this way too seriously. Try to have a little fun with it . I personally don't know why either, if I had to guess I would say it's because alot of people aren't very nice, or considerate, and misery loves company. People are very competitive by nature and unfortunately would rather win alone than to cross the line hand in hand with their fellow people. But that's just me.

funny you should mention this, I was just thinking the same thing last night. I dont see anything wrong with it,  but maybe what others are looking at is her lifestyle. People have a way of seeking out negative instead of looking at positive. My opinion, good on her she has love to give so why not give it.

I haven't read her book but if they're upset because of "name calling" then it is pretty ironic. The funny thing is that most of them are too ignorant to see it.

I agree...women are a lot of work (being one, I should know).\n\nI think it's funny...

I can read people and situations to the extent that many people think I have paranormal talent.  Not everyone is attracted by this.  Some are scared of me.

I think it's pretty normal.  You are obviously secure in yourself and don't need the judgement of others.  You are tolerant with a kind of a "let it be" attitude.  Like any of us have opinions that matter anyway.  You're fine.
