First off, no, it’s not 100% of men but enough men seem to be intimated by women who are proficient in any form of martial arts. There seems to be the saying that goes around, “Just see what happens if you make her mad!†Well just remember all martial arts involve the aspects of discipline, honor and pride, being in control of one’s self is paramount and only using violence to defend a person’s self is key.
Don’t people realize, man or women, a person who used say Karate do inflict abuse out of anger or spite would lose face with their fellow peers? The female members of the martial arts community don’t want to be seen in a negative light just as much as the men.
I personally, don’t believe that a female who knows martial arts is automatically more likely to inflict damage upon me if I irritate her. Instead, I believe that such a woman is more likely going to be more in control of her temperament than the general female population. I believe the REAL FEAR is that women who are proficient in any martial art are more likely to independently be able to handle themselves on their own and that fact, is a threat to a lot of men, who can only fathom being in the protector role.
