Comment on me looking at my 190 cm/110 kg daddy

I thought it was the peak of gender discrimination back in the day, but turns out they’re just trying to keep your ass out of jail, so you don’t ever fist bump or body slam a girl as hard as you do with your bros. Heck, I’ve seen girls sprain/break their hands just hitting a guy.

Honestly, that is lack of training and/or technique. If you hit someone and break your own hand, you should either hit them less hard or it’s a life-or-death situation and a broken hand is the least or your worries, right?

Both. How many girls throw hands all the time vs boys, whose entire childhood was one slugfest (for me, at least). When girls hit girls, or boys who don’t want to hurt them, it’s not very damaging. The former has padding and weak muscles on either side, the latter has a trained professional limiting the damage.

God I hadnt swung a punch at somebody in probably a decade (this happened about a year ago) and man does it scare the hell out of people. 200lb guy instantly unconscious. My spouse thought the paramedics would need to come.
When your 6 and 8 year old siblings hitting each other it hurts sure, but when 200+ pound people are hitting someone the body isn’t meant to withstand it.

I don’t understand the last point. If anyone, regardless of gender, were to punch me, and broke their own hand, I could hardly prevent that, right? Unless by dodging, in which case the punching and hand breaking does not apply at all. I can’t make my skull less hard.

You can take the force out of their blow by moving with it, instead of presenting a solid, immovable target. The punch will still connect, but won’t do much damage. Takes skill though.
