As a polemic discussion goes, it has forced me forced to evaluate the reasons why women should fight.

I now believe women should NOT fight.

Not for reasons espoused above but because it is very time intensive training any fighters, let alone a group that is demonstratively a very small minority within any gym, that promotes fighters. Women fighters have and always will be a small minority, thus serious consideration should be given to actively discouraging their participation.

Like in any well-run business, ‘slow’ moving product lines are discarded or removed from the shelves, the same for items that ‘cost’ more to stock at the expense other ‘profitable’ lines

This would leave trainers more time to concentrate on more viable resources.. ie Men.
