Intro: Will Smith and “The Slap”
- Discussion
- Comedy / Memes / “That shit is ‘slapping’!
More and More People Believe Violence Is Always Bad
- “You should never fight never under any circumstances”
- Examples of this thinking
- Fighting is the essence of “Toxic masculinity”
- Fighting is nothing more than “stupid, over-testosteroned men, UFC fighters, idiot jocks”
- Fighting is “unnecessary” in a modern society
- Just call the police - no need to fight
Are Men Inherently Violent? Are Women?
- Little boys vs Little girls
- Girls tend to be drawn to flowers, animals, interesting things, adventures
- Boys tend to find sticks and brandish them as weapons, throw rocks, compete, explore, fight
- Women in the military
- In Israel once they turn 18 all healthy men AND women are required to serve in the military for at least 24 months
- The majority of developed nations have women in the military - but only a small fraction have women deployed in combat
- Women in MMA
- Do women want to fight? Some do.
- Currently UFC lists 602 active male fighters vs 126 active female fighters (83% male, 17% female)
- Female MMA fights in recent years have continued to rise in popularity
- Nowadays almost all MMA fight cards include at least one female fight
- Having said that, it’s mostly men that watch MMA
- Interestingly enough, appx 83% of MMA viewers are male, appx 17% are female
- Do women want to fight? Some do.
Are There Times When You Should Choose Violence?
- The vast majority of the time it’s not a good choice
- Use your words
- Look for diplomatic solutions - there’s almost always one
- Violence causes violence (usually escalated) so it’s best to be avoided
- Playground rules: If I hit you, you’ll want to hit me back
- Hatfields and the McCoys - If I shoot your cousin, you’ll want to shoot my brother
- Israel vs Palestine: If you shoot rockets at my temple, I’ll blow up your mosque
- Once started, the only way to stop the cycle of violence is if one side is willing to sacrifice and not retaliate (extremely difficult to do)
- There are times when fighting is optional (but understandable)
- Disrespect - They verbally abuse your woman, mother, children, etc.
- Someone (usually drunk) tries to start shit
- Accidental situations - you run into someone, damage their stuff, say the wrong thing, etc
- But sometimes there are legitimate reasons you should fight
- Someone else’s safety
- Your safety
- Preemptive fighting for safety
- Battle/War for a good cause
- Defeating Nazism
- Eliminating a terrorist or terror network
- Ukraine vs Russia
“Hard times create strong men, strong men create good times, good times create weak men, and weak men create hard times.” - G. Michael Hopf
- Stay strong. Keep training. Be ready to fight if necessary. But ALWAYS look for a non-violent solution.
- Stay Superior!
