I'm a young guy in his early 20s who's competing as an amateur Welterweight boxer, Muay Thai Fighter and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ) practitioner (ranked as a Purple Belt). The only and only female athlete that's giving me such a high motivation and inspiration as a fighter is Holly Holm (former Women's UFC Bantamweight Champ and former Multiple Division World Boxing Champ). She's simply the only athlete in combat sports in general that I can think of that has ever won world titles in two different sports, which is very unheard of accomplishment from female fighters and even from male fighters in general.

To me, Holly Holm is like the female version of Evander Holyfield (although he never competed in any other combat sports outside of boxing). Both of them are overachievers with the fighting heart size of Texas and both held their world title belts with class and modesty.

now being angry towards another female UFC fighter, Paige VanZant for "crossing her" by congratulating Holly Holm for her victory against her (Rousey) at the time?

I honestly think this is the most pathetic and miserable thing I've ever read. Rousey still refuses to give any credit or respect towards Holm for handing her first lost and now she attacks other female MMA fighters (who are fans of hers) that congratulate Holm for taking the UFC title from her. Not only did she attack Paige for that but she most likely attacked her also probably because Paige is slowly starting to get the new spotlight as another attractive female UFC fighter and even participated in the famous dance show, Dancing With The Stars, which most likely made Rousey jealous.

I used to be a bit of a fan of Rousey before her UFC media overhype. Now, my respect level for her has completely dropped, both as a person and an athlete. I don't care what Rousey's retarded fanboy/girls think and how many more excuses they'll come up with for her poor sportsmanship and behavior. She's nothing but a delusional bully that think she's such a bad bitch that can pick on anyone who she feels like for whatever stupid reason, including the male UFC fighters since she knows very well they won't do anything back to her because of her gender.

If she still getting emotionally worked up over ONE LOSS and not being the media hog anymore, she should just hang up the MMA gloves for good and never come back if she simply can't display any good sportsmanship or handle a single loss.

I am a member of YouGov dot com, which is a survey website. Take a daily survey, earn points, maybe turn points into a giftcard over time.
YouGov does all sorts of surveys, and when a survey ends, not only can you see the final results, but you can also, if you choose, see the breakdown. Breakdown is available to show how people voted based on age, political leaning, gender, financial status, or region.

One thing I have noticed, which strikes me as weird, is that almost every single survey that has a yes/no/i don't know breakdown, more women vote "I don't know" than men. On EVERY subject.

Now, I am not insinuating that women are in any way less capable of knowing about, thinking about, or caring about issues. There are people in every demographic who vote "I don't know," and it is a perfectly legitimate stand to take. I have voted it a few times, when I either did not know enough about the topic discussed, or I had an idea of what I liked more, but I aso acknowledged that there were consequences for that idea, so voting "I don't know" seemed a good way to suggest that I saw both sides of the issue.

However, women seem almost twice as likely as men to vote that way. If a survey shows 17% of guys voted that, usually around 34% of women have also. This ranges from surveys on foreign policy, to whether Uber drivers and taxi drivers should have the right to a gun in their car, to whether sugary foods should be taxed, to whether female athletes who have been domestic abuse instigators should face the same in-sport suspensions and penalties as male athletes do, to just about anything else you can imagine.

So, despite my obnoxiously long winded lead-up, my question (s) are simple: Why do women vote "I don't know" more often than men? If you have taken a survey of any kind recently, and chose "I don't know," if you can recall what the survey was about, can you
