Quote:I worry about getting involved in this, but I feel like this is a point that no one has brought up yet.

 

Isn't it also unrealistic to disregard that an adult male can do significantly more damage with a punch than an adult female? Punches, while being generated with the feet and hips, also involve the upper body muscle groups and it has been proven that an average adult male has more and denser upper body muscles than the average adult female. While the intent may or may not be the same, it stands to reason that a man can inflict more damage on a woman with a punch than vice versa.

 

Isn't it also unrealistic to disregard the stupidity of applying blanket statements like "NEVER" to averages across a population of 6 billion people?

 

What about the millions of women that are bigger and stronger than millions of men? Do they get free passes because of averages?

What about the millions of men that are smaller and weaker than millions of women? Should they accept the inflicted damage at the hands of a bigger, stronger individual because "on average, men are stronger"?
