One of the sad trends that I've noticed in the past few years is women fighting. I know that this has gone on all of my life, but it seems to be taking a different form as it shows up more and more in what we know as entertainment.
Mixed martial arts cage matches between women just sadden me even worse. I don't ever watch them, but sometimes I'll catch a commercial or something that people are talking about and it just disgusts me.
Women's boxing is on the rise and more and more movies and shows on streaming networks they have woman fight scenes where either a man and a woman are fighting with full contact facial, punching and kicking, or two women in full contact facial, punching and kicking with knives and guns and everything else.
It makes me sad because the way I was raised, I was taught to respect women, that violence against a woman was wrong, and that anyone who committed violence against a woman was not a good person.
My children went through public high school, I was told about the fights that happened. They said the ones between girls were worse than the ones between boys.
While that may be the case, I find it saddening that more and more we tolerate women fighting in our entertainment.
I choose to turn it off when I run across it.
