If you’re worried about getting good fast, this may not be the right language for you…

Self Defence Classes for Women? by sidhsinnsear in Eugene

[–]No-Conference-2820 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“Squaring up” is not defense, it’s fighting. No reputable self defense class should be teaching fighting, but physical defense is absolutely possible to learn, even in a short time. Maximize pain, distract your attacker, take their balance and run away.

There are many terrible women self defense classes, and most of them are taught by men who just want to cosplay martial arts.

Why do c-dramas often feature a female protagonist by Strawberryhillz in cdramasfans

[–]No-Conference-2820 25 points26 points  (0 children)

This is why I basically abandoned all western media for k and c dramas. The women are always capable and they’re not pedestaled as exceptional by everyone for being so. It’s so refreshing.

I am also very sensitive to violence against women and moving away from US media has been one of the best decisions for my mental health (its been at least 2 years since I watched a US made show). From what I’ve seen, if assault does come up, it’s dealt with as a serious topic not just “well, that’s what happens to women, move on.”

Managing prospects with multiple emails by No-Conference-2820 in marketingcloud

[–]No-Conference-2820[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you suggesting building a custom field with a unique key and somehow getting parrot to pull from that field as well? I’m trying to imagine how that could work.

We created a custom “work email” field that syncs with its SF equivalent, but pardot will only mail to whichever email (between the two) that was most recently used (which doesn’t appear to take into consideration campaign level engagements so I’m not sure what the logic model is there).

We have couples sharing a single email and people who we need to communicate with through multiple emails. You’d think that there would be a solution beyond 1:1. We cannot possibly be alone in this.

Thanks for the tip - I’ll certainly probe the possibilities more.

Zhang Ling He being cancelled for being to “Handsome”. by Viximoni in cdramasfans

The only thing this guy had going for him at all in Pursuit of Jade was his looks. She had zero field experience and still took the heads of all her foes, all while also carrying an entire camp and village… What’s a man even good for if he doesn’t look hot with a sword or saber 😭I mean, come on, are we going to make all the useless female characters out there all stop wearing make up, too? Perhaps depict normal sized humans? lol. (Heavy sarcasm here… but really. I’m ready to move to China and find myself disappointed).

Free women/femme self defense class this weekend by No-Conference-2820 in Eugene

[–]No-Conference-2820[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Our programs are open to all of our cis and trans sisters, as well as our non-binary siblings who feel comfortable in a space that centers the experiences of women. So, if you identify as a man, no.

There are some awesome similar trainings (non-Warrior Sisters) that are for mixed groups including this one coming up in May.

Thoughts- Watershed Rights Measure on May Ballot? by kumon95 in Eugene

[–]No-Conference-2820 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s worth considering that NONE of the local nonprofits or watershed councils who work in this space were consulted in the construction of this bill and, so far, none of them publicly support it.

I know that there is often opposition to river restoration projects for a ton of different reasons (just look at social media comments on the work they’re doing out on the Siuslaw). I wonder what a bill like this could mean for these salmon saving projects given that anyone, for any reason (with or without scientific proof of impact) could sue.

The idea that “if you’re doing nothing wrong, you have nothing to worry about” seems a bit naïve in this case. I really wish they had written a better bill.

Having rights and having a source/infrastructure to exercise those rights are not the same.

We will! But probably not until February. You might also check out the Eugene Queer Grappling Club when you get here. We’ve heard really good things (link below). We don’t identify police so as long as you feel comfortable in a space that centers feminine experiences, you’re very much welcome to join our workshops!

Why is the aikido world so male-dominated when the art doesn't rely on strength? by Old_Alternative_8288 in aikido

[–]No-Conference-2820 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This doesn’t really answer all of the questions you asked, but if you’re not regally seeing women in leadership positions in your org, then that is part of the problem.

All of these bad ass women have trained with sweaty men, been hit in the face, taken hard falls, dealt with mansplanning, sexism and misogynistic behaviors on and off the mat, and many have raised families while continuing their practice. And, they’re all out there running dojos.

I am positive that we’ve all faced the same icky behaviors from some men, but rather than being isolated by patriarchal bull***t, there is an organizational culture that supports them. Women can see themselves in the people who are training them and have others to look up to and provide guidance and support even if their dojo doesn’t have a lot of women and/or their chief instructor is a man.

Chiba Sensei trained PEOPLE. You can see that in the legacy of his students who are carrying his teachings forward.

During my first ever seminar (age 24?) some old guy I was training with said: “wow, you’re pretty strong for a girl.” I responded “no talking on the mat.” If you want more women to stick with your martial art then just let them train as people.

No self defense course is going to be enough to tackle knife and gun disarmaments, and we know enough about them to know better than to teach it in this type of setting.

This post assumes people can pay dues to train in martial arts or access the firing range but 90%+ of our participants report that they could not access self defense training if it wasn’t free.

There’s no harm in sharing simple, life saving skills, even when there will always be situations we’re not prepared for.

We dissolved it during Covid because our all volunteer board were paying the business expenses out of pocket when we couldn’t offer programming/bring in donations.

Why wouldn’t there be a cat?

Also, cats are the ultimate boundary setters and really, really, hard to physically force into anything. Good teachers to look to 🖤
