Your point about training is a poor one in any case, any female policewoman as highly trained as any male policeman will still (with minimal exceptions) lack muscle mass
Thickys words are deliberate, its how he thinks and why no right thinking UK woman will have anything to do with him.


I expected you to come out with your rather quaint and patronising patriarchal views on a woman's role in society. If one truly value women, then one would respect their choices and perhaps be slightly more aware that many neither need nor appreciate being patronised by gender stereotyping.

I'm sure the Police Officers concerned are more than cognisant with the risks of dealing with people and are well equipped to do so. Not sure muscle mass has very much to do with the impact of being struck in the face, whether one is male or female. I'm sure there are occasions when brute force may prevail, but in the vast majority of situations brains not brawn (and a baton or taser) is equally effective whatever the gender of the person wielding it.
