Seriously, as dominant as the Williams sisters are, they lost to a man ranked around 800.
To say that Rousey is so dominant in her field so as to be like a man in the woman's division is an excellent compliment from an inarticulate and insensitive fool.
What does Brock Lesnar know about being a dominant athlete?
Are the strongest female fighters on par with the men? Seems like he's trying to say that they are not, but Ronda surpasses women
I don't think she's a super athlete. It's not that she isn't athletically capable, it's just I don't see why nearly any women could not condition themselves in such a way through enough hard work.
I just don't think she was raised to be a princess. That and she had exposure to fight technique from young. That's why she stands a cut above. That early childhood conditioning counts for a lot.
If more girls were encouraged to do what they wanted to do early in life instead of having gender constraints rammed down their throats (aka martial arts instead of fairies and unicorns if they wanted) she'd have a lot more competition.
Lol is it so hard to believe for some of you guys that one gaffer out of onehundredsixtythousand might be in the necessary physical condition and have enough fighting experience to beat Ronda? This thread is hilarious.
I'd be more inclined to believe someone who didn't say "women sports are c-tier", but hey.Lol is it so hard to believe for some of you guys that one gaffer out of onehundredsixtythousand might be in the necessary physical condition and have enough fighting experience to beat Ronda? This thread is hilarious.
Is she the once in a lifetime human being of our generation?
Because that like saying that are the qualities she possess are not something you'd find in a woman, implying that any true physical strength is inherently a male trait, which is false.fWhat is the argument here, women as typically are physically inferior to men from a strength perspective. By him comparing her to a man he's saying she has a similar advantage that a man would have if he competed with women.
I dont even get how thats a back handed compliment?

Also, he has a history of previous unsavory comments, so it's not surprising that people would question his thought process, despite the fact that he may be trying to be complementary in this instance.
Didn't even crack 5This thread will have at least 8 pages before midnight.
He was effusively praising her and pretty clearly mispoke the phrase "man amongst boys", can't believe the shit people get upset about.
Why does her domination of the sport mean she should be compared to a man? Why aren't her accomplishments enough on their own merit, without trying to quantify them to be something other than the product of hard work and dedication? Colluding her success to be something that would only be attributed to a man is wrong.On average, men are stronger than women.
The strongest men are stronger than the strongest women.

If the top male MMA fighter/boxer fought in the women's division of his respective sport, he would dominate. That's what Lesnar is saying Rousey is doing right now. It doesn't matter what he said in the past there is nothing wrong or sexist about this comment.
Who is this adorable furball I must know.
I feel like HolyBaikal would have something to say about this.
I miss her, she was too good for this cruel world we live in.
I have 0 issue with it. Feels more appropriate than the alternative "a women amongst girls".
Jocks are so fucking stupid.

Try looking at this from a reverse angle, let's say there we were talking about an exceptional male dancer, (to use an obvious gender biased example) genetically a woman's body is more fluid & flexible than a man's, would saying "he's a woman amongst men" be acceptable? Of course not.

She's a pure white woman amogst a sea of vile blacks.
It's a compliment, you see.
Wow, that's a complete twisting of the construction that was used. There is already quite a bit of discussion over an obviously poorly worded statement without fabricating hate in a false example.
She is a PS4 amongst WiiUs, a DS amongst Vitas.
It's a joke, yes.
What you call "poorly worded" I would call "obnoxious and sexist."

Well, pretty much everyone in here that doesn't have a problem with the statement, construes the side that does as people ignorant towards biology when that isn't the case, so there's already quite a bit of fabricating going on.Wow, that's a complete twisting of the construction that was used.

Ya got that one backwards, Vita would smash the DS's pretty little fucking face in the MMA ring for sure.
Of course, then the DS would go one to sell 5 times the merchandise rights and star in multiple blockbuster movies...
But everyone would know that the Vita was the better fighter regardless.
I think Holy was a bit of all of us.I thought Holy was a guy :O
