Women in their 60s are far too old to be fighting, bones more brittle and health not what it once was, not a good idea to be scrapping in their twilight years. These senior fights do happen but normally broken up fairly quickly.

I would say 40 years ago that was definitely true.  Health and Nutrition are so much better are so much better now.  I know several women that are in their 60's that could likely fight as well as they could in their 40's.  Hell go to a Villages type community and watch the ladies play Pickelball.  Again it is largely health related.  There are some very frail women that probably should not fight, but that age is getting older and older.

To a point, that's true. There's now, in general, a marked difference between women in their sixties, and women in their sixties thirty plus years ago. I well remember back in the 1980s, women in their late sixties, looked more like women in their mid seventies today. I remember one woman, who died two years ago, was almost eighty years old. Up until about two years before she died, she looked no older than about 62/63. She was quite a fit and active woman.

I know one or two women, in their mid sixties, one now 70/71, who could put up a good fight with a woman half their age.
