Well, as usual, I'm jumpin' in on the tail end of the discussion! Man, I wish I'd been here earlier...
I am definitely NOT the "average woman." I believe another TFL lady referred to herself as "spitfire," well that's me too. I am headstrong (as Jedi will readily tell you), aggressive, assertive, overly tall, and I got a big mouth. I tell it like it is... (Heck, I ain't never gonna stand back and let some pyscho-punk-freakazoid mess with me or my kids).
My sisters think I'm nuts cuz I carry a gun
everywhere I go. They don't think about self-protection at all and I don't understand that mentality. How can women
not be concerned about protecting theirself and their kids? I am a very nurturing mother, but I also wouldn't hesitate to defend myself.
BTW,Are any of you mothers out there enrolled in martial arts training? And if so, how on earth do you find time to do it? I'd really like to take a class (haven't decided what discipline yet) but I don't know when I'd make the time!
Anyone coming into my house at night (Jedi works nights) will be faced with quite a firearms arsenal, a claymore, and a sgain-dhu if all else fails!
Um, Jedi: All I want for Mother's Day is a 590, a 590, a 590...
sorry for the rambling, I think I've had WAY too much caffiene today!
