as for womens mma, The smack girl shows in Japan do a very good job
of presenting women MMA fighters in an environment and format that is very
"feminine" and non threatening.

Rudy, check out a smack girl video. or just go to their website. I believe you would actually like it.

I think its www.smackgirl.com

Kara thats a great point. You can't bother with why someone watches. Its not your problem if they have a fetish, or bizarre motivations, etc. If they buy a ticket and support the sport, I am not terribly exercised by the knowledge some people enjoy sport for strange reasosn-so long as they keep it to themselves or like minded friends.

I dare say some of the men who are threatened by the idea of women fighting may be equally tormented by unwelcome and unresolved sexual feelings/issues that are brought uncomfortably close to the surface by strong women breaking stereotypes.

BTW, two different women fighters with whom i have corresponed at length, confided to me that they are often turned on sexually when they fight-so I guess girls have a right to their little quirks too...i certainly wasn't shocked or horrified. Maybe Just taken aback by the candor. I figure they arent violating anyone's rights.

One thing for sure, Dr. Freud would be quite busy were he alive today...

it's a strange world we live in, and I have decided to take as i find it, and stop trying to make so many judgements -or figure out the etiology of people's idiosyncrasies-they often defy explanation.
