In my post on backstories, I mentioned your beautifully downbeat work on Poacher 4 and I expressed a wish you would return. Who says prayers don’t get answered
My goodness, Ellie Wright belongs in prison for a disgraceful assault. I hope she can turn her life around.
You raise some good points. In my town, all of the MMA/BJJ schools encourage women to join. At least one is exclusively women. Our high school has a girls wrestling team with a full roster. It wasn’t long ago that this would have been unthinkable. With shifting gender roles and more women learning to fight, I think the traditional catfight concept diminishes in relevance.
As Ellie showed us, a trained fighter (man or woman) is not immune to making terrible decisions. So yes, stories examining factors that influence people to do what they do is fertile ground to explore.
