I'm curious about why women get into training MMA
I know why guys do it; we're knuckleheads; we grow up learning to admire the powerful among us; and unconsiously or consciously sense a social value in our ability to fight, a value which is most likely inconsistent with reality, but reflects some sort of primal need we haven't quite evolved out of
There are much safer, more enlightened ways for us to pursue higher athletic aims, and yet we choose to beat each other up
Besides, you get to swagger around knowing you're a badass
Are women the same? Different?
