As most people know I am in no way sexist, and in fact most people would describe as a feminist, but there is no place for women in legalised street brawling. What a revolting spectacle this must make. Similar - no doubt - to the "cat fights" WWF used to organise between Stacey Keibler and Trish Status.

If you were actually a feminist, you'd know that it
shouldn't matter whether one is a woman when making the
decision to participate in MMA.
It's just how feminists criticize a culture that recognizes women for doing things just because they're female, or mothers, rather than for actually having done things that deserve recognition.
And comparing a woman's decision to participate in MMA to WWF "cat fights"
simply because she's a woman who made the decision to become a fighter is
opposite thinking of feminism. What can be said of female boxers or hockey players? Is that "cat fighting" and "roller derby on ice"?
Of course, this thread isn't about feminism, but I have a point: MMA is a sport, and there are women who will want to participate in that. (Imagine that, women in sports!) They shouldn't be coddled or given special "protection" from it.
