Why do some girls think they're badasses?

[Anonymous]

They act like they can fight people or that they're tough.

Why do they do this?

[SomeGuy37]

Maybe they got kicked around when they were younger. Maybe they were in a bad home, or had bad, abusive relationships.
Maybe they had a hard time, and are a little defensive, so they act like a badger, defensively, but maybe hoping someone can understand, and see through that 'mask'? Maybe they have a hard time trusting, and they act like that so they don't get hurt, again!
Maybe they just kind of like a little 'aggressive' loving, and are challenging, and trying to find a guy that understands, and likes that, and want's that kind of play! (Probably not, but wouldn't that be better than the other reasons?)

[Flurr]

There are some tough chicks out there but they don't need to flaunt it. What makes me laugh though are the ones who are putting up and act and say they could/should/would beat up or intimidate a grown man. Like, no, the reason why you didn't go there and kick that guys ass is because you know you couldn't, so those ladies, please don't put on the act.

[Asker]

Exactly!

I've heard girls honestly say that they would beat up a guy in the Army if he tried to hit on them.

I think they get deluded from taking Karate when they were 5.

[aWes0MeNeSs]

I went to high school with a girl like this, and I always found it kind of trashy when she would tell girls to meet her somewhere so they could fist fight. She also claimed to be in a gang, was always purposefully starting drama and trouble with other girls, and always bragged about being on house arrest, being her boyfriend's "main hoe", etc.
I don't know why some girls do it, but it might have something to do with the way they were brought up. The only time I would ever fight is out of self defense, and I know I am not tough, haha.

[angell]

All girls are bad asses!

I assume hostility is a result of trauma / living in a hostile environment. Showing everyone yr mean face & like, acting tough---it's to protect yrself from further trauma.

Be nice to these girls.
I used to be / sorta still am 1 of them.

[Asker]

You are weak.

[angell]

That's evidently untrue, so say what u want, dude ^_^

[Asker]

How is it untrue? What have you done?

[Anonymous]

Because women are badasses. Can you create a whole new human being, carry it around in your body for 9 months, and then push it out through a hole in your body? To put it simply, women can be just as badass as men.

[Asker]

The reason they CAN'T be badasses is because their bodies are hindered by the fact that they have to spend so much metabolic energy on their reproductive system.

[Opinion Owner]

What's that supposed to mean? Women can still be badass.

[Asker]

No they can't. Name one.

Why don't they fight in wars then? How many female causalities in World War II? Oh yea... ZERO!!!

[Opinion Owner]

Malala Yousafzai. In 2012 she was shot in the head for going to school by the Taliban, survived, became an activist for women's education, won a Nobel Peace Prize, and gave a metaphorical middle finger to the Taliban. That's badass in my book.

[Asker]

Still doesn't mean she could win a street fight. She was a victim of something.

[Girl_Ex_Machina]

Actually, there were 16 non-civilian female deaths in WWII. More than that served despite being heavily discouraged from it and told they shouldn't.

[Asker]

@Girl_Ex_Machina 16 compared to 50 million.

[Opinion Owner]

That doesn't make their badassery invalid. Just because there are fewer known badass women doesn't mean they don't exist.

[Table20]

i love how women use child birth to explain why theyre better than men.. you were GIVEN the ability to do that, you didn't earn it.. if you EARNED it, then youd be able to brag about it

[Opinion Owner]

@Table20 I never said it made us better. I just said it was badass. I love how men use physical strength to explain why they're better than women. They're biologically stronger than us. You were given the ability to do that, you didn't earn it. If you earned it, then you could brag about it. That's how the fuck you sound.

[Table20]

but i dont use physical strength to prove that men are better than women though...

[Opinion Owner]

@Table20 The asker mentioned something about street fights. I just used it as an example for your logic. Natural talents and gifts can also be badass. Also I never once said women are better than men. I just said we're also badass.

[Table20]

oh.. well the street fight thing is stupid.,. i dont agree with it so try not to relate his flawed logic to mine.. id bury him in a street fight anyway

[Opinion Owner]

@Table20 I think we're veering away from the point. Anyways women and men can both be badass. That's all I'm trying to say.

[Asker]

Homo sapiens are sexually dimorphic.

The main difference is that females use more of their energy in their reproductive system. Males have more free energy to grow large muscles, be athletic, etc.

The female reproductive system is their main hindrance to being successful at survival independently. Just think how vulnerable they are when they're pregnant.

[Opinion Owner]

That still doesn't make us incapable of being badass.

[Asker]

It hinders it

[Opinion Owner]

Not at all. I think it just makes us more badass. If women can endure whatever life throws at us, and childbirth, and periods then I think we're extra badass. Not only can we survive and endure hardships we also can create new life and survive bleeding for 5 days of every month.

[Asker]

You create 50% of a life. You couldn't survive the harsh elements like a man could.

[Opinion Owner]

Why can't we?

[Asker]

Because you'd get raped and killed quicker. Hence war rapes.

[Opinion Owner]

If you can't accept the fact that badass women exist, maybe you're just a dumbass.

[Asker]

I don't see any, though.

[Valkyrie1]

Because well behaved women seldom make history!
https://www.rejectedprincesses.com/

[Rocket_Queen]

Because some of them are "bad and tough". Of course then you grow out of it and become an adult.

[Asker]

No, none of them are.

[karahiri]

well, i can fight people. i might lose, but i'd do a reasonable amount of damage.

[ButteredToast]

Fight me

[karahiri]

@ButteredToast come at me, bro.

[ButteredToast]

Nah.

[ButteredToast]

Dogs come to me

[karahiri]

@ButteredToast understandably. something about you does resemble a fire hydrant.

[Asker]

But you'd go to jail.

[Girl_Ex_Machina]

Some girls are bad-asses. Some fake it so no one will mess with them. It's not that complicated.

[Asker]

None of them are badasses.

[Girl_Ex_Machina]

Joan of Arc
Lyudmila Mykhailivna Pavlichenko (Russian sniper from WWI: kill count-309)
Harriet Tubman
Grace O'Malley (famous pirate)
I could go on.
Also, if you don't think it's bad-ass to squeeze a bundle of flailing limbs the size of a watermelon out of a hole the size of a grape, then you're a fool.

[Girl_Ex_Machina]

Wait, sorry, meant WWII

[Asker]

Snipers are punks

[Girl_Ex_Machina]

Not true. Also, I notice you have no comment about the others. Perhaps because you've made an unfair and untrue generalization that you now find yourself unable to back up. Your views are chauvinistic, misogynistic, outdated, and fundamentally false.

[Asker]

They are all sneaky in their ways.

[Girl_Ex_Machina]

How are they sneaky, and how does sneaky equal not bad-ass?

[Asker]

Because they aren't being up front about it. They are doing things behind people's backs.

[Girl_Ex_Machina]

Joan of Arc and Grace O'Malley were very open about their bad-assery. Also, being sneaky doesn't mean you aren't a bad-ass. Snipers are bad-ass, and if you don't think what Harriet Tubman did was bad-ass, then you must have some pretty frickin' high standards. Tell me what you think qualifies someone as badass.

[Asker]

I don't know. All I know is I could beat most of them up in a fight. And if I couldn't, there must be something wrong with me.

[Girl_Ex_Machina]

Yes, men are usually physically stronger than women, it doesn't mean women aren't bad-asses in their own right.

[Asker]

I suppose.

[Gabriella171]

Because some of us kick ass and take names, wanna be on my list lol 💪👊

[Asker]

You couldn't do such a thing. It's all games.

[Gabriella171]

Games! I don't play around lol

[Asker]

You couldn't do shit to me.

[Gabriella171]

Unless your some body Builder I think I got a good chance

[Asker]

I can "disable" a person using two fingers. Large muscles have nothing to do with it.

[Gabriella171]

Sure you can lol 😂

[Asker]

I can.

[Gabriella171]

Yeah I believe you dude 😂😏

[Asker]

It's pretty easy. Ever heard of eyeballs?

[Gabriella171]

Yeah. You ever heard of balls and a foot

[Asker]

That doesn't incapacitate like an eyeball does

[Gabriella171]

So your going to poke me in the eye lol?

[Asker]

Rip it out

[Gabriella171]

Wow that's psychotic! I thought we we're talking about just fighting not ripping out eye balls!

[Asker]

Lol nope! I am a psycho. This is why I always tell people they shouldn't fuck with me and to get it on camera if they do.

[Gabriella171]

Wow. That's why I carry a knife for people like you lol

[Asker]

Yea it's probably the only bet.

[Gabriella171]

What lol?

[Asker]

It made perfect sense. Learn to read.

[Gabriella171]

I wouldn't know how to post on this stupid question if I didn't know how to read idiot.

And you said "it's probably the only bet " lol 😂😂😂

[Asker]

Learn to read better.

[Gabriella171]

Learn to make real sentences lol

[Cxxlin]

cause they probably can. unless you already know they fake asf

[Asker]

All of them are fake if they try to act like that.

[Cxxlin]

lml why would you think that dumb shit

[reixun]

Because we want to be tough, threatening can do the job if you're good at it.

[Anonymous]

Because some girls ARE badasses.
Though some girls aren't and just think they are.
Same with boys.

[Asker]

No girls are actually badasses.

[Opinion Owner]

i1.kym-cdn.com/.../BRTky.jpg

[KittieCat]

Because some are, just like everyone else

[DarkHumorRUs]

I only see the trashy pot smoking girls do this.

[Avasimmons]

Most women are bad asses ! You jelly?

[Asker]

None of them are. They're weak by nature.

[Girl_Ex_Machina]

Actually according to many objective studies, women have higher pain thresholds than men. Probably because of, oh, I don't know, fucking childbirth. Also, I personally have beaten two guys in fights.

[Asker]

@Girl_Ex_Machina yea some weak guys

[Girl_Ex_Machina]

Actually they were both athletes. I'm just a bad-ass. I once walked a mile with and untreated broken foot. I eagerly await your sexist and unreasonable refutation.

[Jeremiahmay]

@Girl_Ex_Machina most? Hell, it is proven that kidneystones hurt much worse than giving birth, a natural process so i dont see how thts "tough" of women. Women dont know hard labor like me , and untill they do need to stay in their place

[yelbritbugt]

Why can't a girl be tough?

[HugoOR]

Because some of them are actually badasses

[Asker]

Name one. I've never seen one.

[HugoOR]

Why don't you think about your mother huh, about everything she had to go through when you were a boy.

[NajemEddine]

i assumed it s because of periods they get crazy

[teatea111]

Cause we can

[Asker]

But it's just an act and surely you must know it's fake.

[teatea111]

Uh no. Not always an act. Some girls really are badass. And anyway you can say the same thing about guys.

[Asker]

No girls are badasses. Name one.

[teatea111]

What's your definition of badass? Seriously there's a lot of them out there.

[Asker]

Been to prison, serious medical problems, lived on the streets, etc.

[teatea111]

Okay then in that case we have different definitions of badass

[Asker]

What's yours? Some fake shit?

[teatea111]

Woah man no need to get worked up
I'm not gonna try to change your definition of badass so go on believing whatever you want to believe

[Asker]

Tell me what you think

[teatea111]

tough, uncompromising, or intimidating.
That's the dictionary definition. Informal ofc.
Badass is a pretty vague adjective so there's plenty of women and men who fit this description.

[Asker]

No women are tough, though, given the right situation.

[Dred1614]

There are probably a few that can.,

[SoAddicted]

Cause we are 😎

[Asker]

No, you're a punk

[SoAddicted]

Do people still use the word 'punk'?

[lovelywiz]

Ever seen diabla?

[ice_vampire]

Because some are

[bcromartie]

Hormones in the food

[Anonymous]

cuz they are
