But before that she was Strikforce's 145 lb women's champion.
Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so.

A thought about women in action roles Dark Knight - 17/01/2012 10:42:28 PM 1627 Views
The actress in Haywire is a former MMA fighter. Chas - 17/01/2012 11:13:03 PM 958 Views
Ok bad example Dark Knight - 18/01/2012 01:03:45 AM 904 Views
How many men did she beat in those fights? Ray - 18/01/2012 01:47:04 AM 896 Views
Regular but fit guys still wouldn't stand a chance, I guess. ironclad - 18/01/2012 08:23:07 AM 860 Views
I don't know random thoughts - 18/01/2012 02:21:24 PM 942 Views
Haywire may not be the best example ironclad - 17/01/2012 11:33:31 PM 949 Views
I thought she was an American Gladiator? *NM* Dark Knight - 18/01/2012 01:04:20 AM 406 Views
you're not wrong Jim - 18/01/2012 05:37:51 AM 843 Views
Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, Crush. *NM* Tigr - 18/01/2012 08:31:06 PM 403 Views
You rarely ever see that kind of stuff in "realistic" movies... DomA - 17/01/2012 11:53:33 PM 880 Views
What about Enough with Jennifer Lopez? Dark Knight - 18/01/2012 01:05:13 AM 813 Views
I've thought about it before. TaskmasterJack - 18/01/2012 12:22:29 AM 1065 Views
So: Action roles should have bigger women. Vivien - 18/01/2012 03:29:38 AM 976 Views
Actually, Buffy is worse because it implies women need magic to be useful. Cannoli - 18/01/2012 05:34:09 AM 973 Views
That's what you got from watching Buffy? *NM* Vivien - 18/01/2012 06:38:06 PM 443 Views
There's not much to get FROM Buffy *NM* LadyLorraine - 18/01/2012 06:46:35 PM 394 Views
Joyce comes to mind. And Tara - she hardly ever uses her magic. Oh, and Darla. Legolas - 18/01/2012 10:58:57 PM 857 Views
magic isn't what makes women useful Ray - 19/01/2012 04:51:35 AM 859 Views
I really doubt the outfit did much to make Xena look big. LadyLorraine - 18/01/2012 06:53:59 PM 822 Views
I challenge you to say that while wearing her costume. *NM* Vivien - 18/01/2012 10:03:09 PM 378 Views
I'm pretty sure I would look frumpy and ridiculous LadyLorraine - 19/01/2012 12:37:07 AM 839 Views
Lucy Lawless is pretty much Amazonian. Rebekah - 19/01/2012 09:28:11 AM 1193 Views
It's true that she's not as tiny as others. Vivien - 19/01/2012 05:46:59 PM 817 Views
"Not as tiny as the others" is about the best you can say for her. Aemon - 19/01/2012 08:54:03 PM 802 Views
of course she could LadyLorraine - 19/01/2012 11:17:39 PM 780 Views
No. Aeryn - 20/01/2012 03:55:20 AM 1053 Views
aahahaha. this makes me laugh. *NM* LadyLorraine - 19/01/2012 07:18:26 PM 406 Views
Re: A thought about women in action roles Fanatic-Templar - 18/01/2012 04:13:27 AM 825 Views
Indeed. See for example, any Robin Hood made in the last 20 years. Maid Marian HAS to fight. *NM* Cannoli - 18/01/2012 05:35:19 AM 397 Views
The problem I had with that scene is what I call Buffy Syndrome. Cannoli - 18/01/2012 05:10:59 AM 1077 Views

She is some kind of super hero in super hero movie, is't she? *NM* aragornital - 19/01/2012 07:30:50 AM 417 Views
I don't think she's technically supposed to have super powers. Aemon - 19/01/2012 08:58:40 PM 811 Views
The Avengers are going to be such a lame team Cannoli - 19/01/2012 09:13:18 PM 901 Views
This is exactly what I think of the movie as well A Deathwatch Guard - 19/01/2012 11:24:16 PM 920 Views
Contemplating the female action hero…let’s talk about Ripley Jeordam - 19/01/2012 09:24:18 PM 978 Views
I thought Sarah Connor in T2: Judgment Day was a realistic portrayal of the action heroine. Bookwyrm - 20/01/2012 05:57:08 AM 818 Views
So did anyone actually see Haywire this weekend? Aeryn - 23/01/2012 02:34:43 PM 894 Views
It just depends on how much you're willing to accept. Aemon - 23/01/2012 04:23:36 PM 843 Views
You're nitpicking and drawing an arbitrary line. All action is ridiculously unbelievable. *NM* Aeryn - 24/01/2012 04:53:40 AM 497 Views
I tend to agree with you. Nate - 24/01/2012 05:25:45 AM 837 Views
Realism alone is not the issue. Aemon - 24/01/2012 03:42:21 PM 809 Views
Maybe. I just feel there's a distinction between "one in a million" and "impossible." Aemon - 24/01/2012 03:53:35 PM 851 Views
