Thanks for the video link Gmenn. Good fight. Liked the way the younger women delivered a good kick or knee to the olders backside to retaliate for the slap! The younger woman certainly held her own. What film was this from? Looked to me like the younger woman did form a fist a couple of times but mainly it was slapping, kicking and hairpulling. Too bad it was broken up.
Gotta say I agree with Sue5159, women don't just fight with slaps, hairpulling and kicking, they will fight with their fists as well, and always have. If anything though a woman's fight between too equals evenly matched rivals can be (or used to be) wilder than any fight between two guys, as the women often want to make a mess of each other, whilst completing the win. Guys are (or once were) more likely to fight within boxing rules. The other thing is often women don't seem to have the strength to hurt their rival with punches, so again they'll use anything. Though one of the worst things is the slamming of the opponents head repeatedly into the ground, that can do a lot of damage. (At school the girls were banned from wearing earrings, and having their bodies pierced, also nails had to be kept short.)
Though these days even for guys all the 'rules" seem to have gone out the window, especially with people carrying knifes and other concealed weapons and the martial arts training involving kicking, we seem to be getting more violent!S
You are right simon1 the women don't fight now just with slaps, hairpulling and kicking. They fight now like men. And I don't like it. As you can see in the clip I uploaded before and in the clip I attached here the women are fully femenine (skirts, stockings) and fight in a femenine way, pulling hair, rolling on the floor, entwining legs, slapping, scratching, kicking. And they look so sexy at the end with their dishevelled manes and ripped garments. These are the fights I would like to see, not a bad copy of males' fights.
