I agree 100%! I also have a problem with the idea that women should expect men to protect them, but as a woman I also understand how socialized we are to believe this — often on a subconscious level. Women I speak with tell me that after they’re married, they no longer worry about their safety, figuring they can now rely on their partners to protect them. It’s such an old fashioned notion, yet it persists to this day. I am all for more women learning martial arts… which is why I developed Pretty Deadly Self Defense, as a better tool for getting women into martial arts schools :) Glad to meet someone with the same POV!
