Bringin' home the bacon and fryin' it up in the pan.

I was referring to WM (female Marines).  It is good that you train for street self-defense.  You will always keep the element of surprise, if you are ever randomly attacked.  Aikido is the one 'newer' m.a. that has not been commercialized through mma yet.
Have you read into it?  I studied a Filipino style, for weapons, as well.
I would be glad to demonstrate, if ever we meet, I'm sure you would be interested to add to your quiver.

Yeah, it sounded like you were talking about WM. I don't know how many, if any of them, had had a previous martial arts background. But if they're smart, after getting their butts kicked so easily, they'd realize the need for additional training to compensate for the size and strength differences.

Since my JKD is through Danny Inosanto's lineage, it is heavily Filipino-based, and that's where I learned/am learning my knife and stick work.

Aikido is awesome and I've read about it and seen it demonstrated, but I haven't found time to train in it. Most of the grappling I know is BJJ with some wrestling and Pentjak Silat mixed in.

If we should meet, I look forward to working out with you. :)
 
I'm not familiar with Pentjak Silat, have to go do homework now.  Filipino stick fighting seems to be superior, espescially nunchukka.
Aikido gives the smaller/weaker combatant equality. 
All comes down to how fast you can eliminate one of the big 3: sight, mobility, breathing.  BJJ from your back, is very good for women to learn.  There is a Native style, similiar to JJ, called 'leg wrestling', ever heard of it?

I don't disagree that there are many women who can do things that men traditionally do, but the question really is should they?  In other words, does the fact that somebody can do something mean that they should?  For instance, merely because a woman can properly exposit Scriptures should she then pursue a pastorate because she is fundamentally sound in her interpretive abilities?

The Bible is very plain on this subject.  Men and women have their roles in this world, and fighting on foreign soil is not one of those assigned to the women folk. 

No. 

Women should be permitted, nor should they be allowed to serve in combat situations.
 
Alayman, The great thing about America is we can disagree with each other and still be friends :)

If God is calling her to do it, she should. And I think maybe that's what I'm 'sposed to do. But I'm not sure yet. I am sure I want the education that ordinarily goes with it whether I seek ordination or not. I am probably not enough of a "people person" to enjoy all the shmoozing expected of a pastor. But if not that, I might find my niche as a theology prof or Christian writer, or in some other role in ministry.

I don't think God ever calls people to violate His express will, but we already know that we're not gonna agree on the women clergy thing.
 
From the perspective of a military veteran, Women do not belong in ground combat situations.

Several reasons including:
1.  Limited physical strength of females (Ground troops carry rucks that weigh from 75 to 100 pounds in combat situations.)
2.  Unsanitary conditions  (It can be weeks between showers.)
3.  Female POW's will be raped and subjected to other treatments that are not customary for male combatants.
4.  Most female soldiers I was associated with who were trained and had volunteered to enter the military did not want to enter combat for these 3 reasons among others.

This in no way places females on an unequal footing with males but it simply is a realistic approach to the apparent differences between males and females.
