Don’t we MEN have the right to say martial arts is only for US, if WOMEN insist that romance is only FOR THEM?

Women insist that romance is only for them! That we men can’t cry! Or show emotion! Men and women alike think that way! So why can’t we men claim that martial arts and action is only for us? You claim romance is only for you!
Ever hear people say "please hand in your man-card" when a man admits to liking romance?!!

I train in Martial Arts, I don’t think it’s only for women. Infact I think it’s more important for women to take a self defense course than a man. Men are physically bigger and stronger than women and learning a martial art is one of the most effective way for a woman to defend herself outside of buying a gun. But as with guns, mace, pepper spray, or tasers these can be taken from you and used against you. Martial arts cannot be taken from you.

  1. I’d suggest finding new friends if they are categorizing you some place you don’t want to be categorized. I’ve never heard anyone say that Romance is only for women. Some women prefer it over genres of books/movies etc. And some (most??) men would rather watch an action or comedy flick than a straight out romance. But I don’t know anyone who would claim romance is only for women.

    You’re comparing apples and oranges. Romance is for everyone, and martial arts is for whoever wants to get into it. I’ve never heard anyone say that romance is only for women, and I haven’t heard anyone say that martial arts is only for men.
