What is Reddit's opinion of Real Knockouts: The Physical Feminism of Women's Self-Defense?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

So, there's this book which is all about women's self-defense and what it can do. Specifically, though, the book suggests that men's violence against women has more to do with the (erroneous) fantasy that men are generally physically stronger than women, and because of that, women are therefore more capable of being violated. You can see that belief clearly expressed in the above comments.

When people here know that the 200 lb dude that's just sitting there choking some woman with his hands is going to get his arm broken and/or choked out.

ok first of all, your post was removed: so you can get down off your high horse about how things work in this here sub.

second of all, your focus on "safety" is a myopic way to understand the word "empowerment." as i pointed out in my very first response to you: I am much more empowered by movements that encourage me to fight for my rights in the political arena that I am by measuring hemlines. Since you are unwilling to acknowledge any form of empowerment that does not specifically relate to women physically stopping their own sexual assaults, I'll indulge you on this exceedingly narrow topic:

In these links I have provided academic studies, professional feminist self defense instructors/networks, information about local feminists groups running self defense training, and pop-feminist thought pieces that are all make argument about with the value of self-defense from a feminist perspective. From this, you can clearly see that feminists take multiple approaches to women's safety. Feminist self-defense expands the "stranger danger" focus traditional women's self defense classes and treats women's safety holistically, expanding tactics to cover to street harassment, workplace harassment, and date rape. In this way, feminists have improved upon and expanded the idea of women's "self-defense" beyond simply the unknown assailant waiting in the woods for his next victim (or should I say "survivor", which is the terminology that feminists often insist upon because they find the word victim disempowering) or obsessing over hemlines. This is a very real, very visible, and very present strain of feminist activism.
