Ummm no. Properly trained a height difference is a none issue.

The kind of training I'm talking about is as much mental as it is physical. An attitude and having control of the situation. Which can be taugh, but is much better if it's already there to be fostered. I guess being raised by a bossy and domineering mother colours my view of what women can do even though there smaller. I don't treat my sister that much differently than my brother (I just punch her less). Being a girl is not an excuse not being able (or not allowed) to do something far as I'm concerned.

So you think women should be allowed to go on the front lines during a war?

**rory_20_uk** · 06-06-2006, 19:36

I personally think that women should be allowed on the front line as long as they are as able as men. Basically no allowances.

And sure, if they get taken prisoner there is a chance they'll be gang raped until the end of the war.

Canada already does that. And I whole heartedly agree. The location of your reproductive organs isn't a mearure of what you can do.

Actually, there were two of the type ... plus one that was 5'6''.

I wouldn't underestimate short people, proper training and anyone can knock down a much larger opponent without training ... when both have similar levels of training, the one with the greater weight usually wins, if he knows proper tactics ... if he doesn't, he's dead.

I rarely underestimate anyone.

And I agree that with proper training and motivation a person of diminutive stature can be every bit as skillful in a fight as a larger opponent. But I will stand by my claim that they are the exception.

Just for fun, pick any ten 5’2” slips of a girl from any mall, store, school or babe thread and face them off against any ten 6’+ guys or even girls and imagine (we must imagine because it would be impossible to really test) who would win. The answer is a no brainer. Now just for more fun imagine the same ten 5’2” slips fighting each other in a kid’s pool filled with cool whip! The winner of that fight would be anyone watching. giggity giggity
