ANST - ANST- Ladies Chest Protection

[Vanora Villon]

Greetings Lady V. and Ansteorra in general,
   While being hit in the chest area does not cause cancer, nor may 
there be "long term" harm the rule about leather on female chest wasn't 
put there to annoy women.  On the contrary, it was put there for a 
reason.  There may be quite a few ladies who are not overly hampered by 
extraneous appendage in the upper chest, however for some of our more 
generously endowed ladies, if they aren't sufficiently forwarned, they 
may possibly lose a nipple to a pinch tween stick and kidney belt.

Guess what... it has happened to men. For goodness sake, a dear male 
friend of mine fights with a pierced nipple (my squire-brother, too).
<snip>   
we also have a rep for fighting 
hardest(rhino mean anything to anyone on this list?).

Actually, I was just speaking to my exboyfriend, Duke Solemon of 
Trimaris, last night. He said that -hands down- Atlantia fights and hits 
the hardest. I know he's probably right... I originated in Atlantia. 
They're bruts!
 
Not all of our 
fighters are this way of course but for the safety of our women folk, 
chest leather isn't that big a deal.
   As for dropping the one or creating the other, why should men be 
forced to wear a protective device for something they dont have. 

Because when it comes down to it, men's pecs aren't anotomically 
different from women's breasts. Medical fact: men, too, can lactate!

Honestly, I'm not sure I like the idea of groin gaurds for women, but I 
also haven't heard of alot of groin shots to women either.

Thanks to Lord Airaklee Wolf (a lefty florintine fighter with lotsa' 
UMPH), I have been groin-shotted MANY times. It happens, no big deal, 
life goes on.

  I never 
recieved one, nor had I heard of one the year I fought. I could be wrong 
however, its been known to happen..:)

Yes ma'am, I understand..and also understand this, I don't fight 
anymore.  I couldn't deal with the continual bruising, or the blood 
clots that formed as a result so my opinion may not be worth much in 
this area.
