Yes this! Do a trial with each one and see which class she likes better. It might come down to the teacher, the other students, or any number of other factors that aren't the style of martial art.

I think women do experience more gender based adversities, but I worry framing it like that creates an "us and them" situation between genders. We should fight inequality wherever it exists.

It also misses intersectionality. Not all men are advantaged over all women. A man born in poverty, violence, with a disability, or of a marginalised race, isn't automatically better off than a rich white women born to a good supportive family.

For each of those examples women were disadvantaged and men were advantaged. So they both experienced inequality.

I don't believe in an -ism. I believe in equal rights. I think the name feminism does more harm than good.

Can you explain how women deal with more inequality than men?

Have many micro interactions. Say good morning to the people you pass. Ask if you can pat someone's dog. Don't try to turn these into something more. If you break the ice a little, the people who are interested will make it clear from there.

The recommended amount contains a buffer. No need to add your own buffer as well

More likely to turn someone else into a meat crayon.

Sure there are situations where bikes aren't suitable.

Bikes cost time. You have to think of the time it has cost you to earn the money to buy, run, and maintain a car.

That freedom comes at quite a cost. Both to the driver and society. Riding a bike puts the "free" in freedom
