But That's None Of My Business

Maybe MMA is a bad example, but I told a white ribbon ambassador doing a seminar my daughter was being physically bullied by a bigger girl......and the ambassador shrugged their shoulders and looked apathetic. I said "So you only care about violence against women and girls if the perpetrator is male!?"

White Ribbon are a bunch of corrupt Hypocrites.

Now that you've 'splained it, I get where you're coming from. I apologize for the snarkiness of the meme comment.

I'd never actually heard of them white ribbon folks before, so I can't say you're necessarily wrong... I can sort of see both sides of it here: on the one hand, his purpose was specifically to address male on female violence, but on the other hand, there is that old saying, "Evil wins when good people do nothing." He should have at least acknowledged the fact that such violence as you describe is unacceptable, then returned the focus to their primary objective.

Having said that, I must take issue with that last statement. There are corrupt hypocrites among them, I am certain, but you seem to be saying that is all their members are. It is incorrect to say, "All [group] are [adjective]s." Unless, of course, that is the stated purpose of the [group] (i.e. Aryan Brotherhood certainly is racist). I'm not trying to bust your chops, but you can't judge them all just because this guy was a douche. Think on that, please.

There's a difference between voluntarily stepping into a ring and being confronted by violence in a situation where you have a reasonable expectation of safety.

MamaTriedRob got it. Theres clearly a difference between training and earning a spot in MMA and assault.

Thanks for that.

Maybe instead of women's MMA I should have put "female on female bullying clips on YouTube."
There are cretins that watch that.......
