So far, so good.
I have not had one nasty piece of hate mail since I started this website. Of course, I don't expect this to last.
I'm sure there are purists out there that will be absolutely enraged at the idea of someone promoting female vs female combat.
But, I am going to use this post as a disclaimer and simply send people this article in the future if any argument arises.
Here is the way the Catfight Report currently operates at the time of this post:
I, Johnny Ringo, believe totally and absolutely in the concept of a contract. Also, I, Johnny Ringo, believe heavily in the concepts known as freedom of choice and freedom of movement. What you do not see very much on this website, is me promoting female fighting that is not sanctioned through contract.
Now, that doesn't mean I will not report on a REAL celebrity catfight that has happened, only because celebrities are part of the public realm, and I'm certain that Fox News, CNN, and the others have no problem reporting on a real catfight that involves a celebrity either.
However, I rarely cover real catfights between unknown women on this website. That is out of respect to the people involved whose lives are not public already. I also don't cover catfights between females under the age of 18 knowingly.
But, I must make it clear, that I have no issue with two females settling their differences in a catfight as long as a legal and binding contract is involved between the two females. The role of government is to enforce contracts between consenting individuals, not tear them apart, change the rules, or render them irrelevant.
Obviously, sometimes local or federal laws may trump a contract, which I don't necessarily agree with, as long as one of the parties was not forced into a contractual situation. I also don't accept that someone signs a contract and then wants to sue afterward because they didn't understand the contract. You should never sign something you do not understand. If you cannot afford legal counsel, or help to interpret a contract, DON'T SIGN IT.
However, I trust that if I send two females to a female catfighting company, I place trust that the said company knows and will follow the rules of the law, AND, will set up an environment to protect the females so that they do not get badly hurt or placed in a precarious position.
If I ever do happen to send two females to perform a "Rules" catfight...........I will do my best diligence to send them to a proper and professional company. That much I can promise. At the time of this post, I have never sent anyone, just to be clear.
Another topic.
It has not been uttered yet, but I'm sure I'm going to get a label slapped on me at some point:
That I am..............."promoting violence".
My response to this is that I really don't agree with "violence" being an all encompassing word. I take violence as murder, an intent to kill, or an intent to physically disfigure or maim someone. Again, because I prefer to promote catfights that are in a sanctioned setting, where both parties agree through contract, I feel absolutely fine that what I am doing is in harmony with the laws of freedom, nature, and a civil society.
However, it could be construed that I am promoting violence. But, since "promoting violence" is kind of a worthless term, I really don't see the argument on why not to do so. You could say the same for Boxing or MMA or even mainstream scripted wrestling like the WWE and TNA.
I guess they are "promoting violence" as well.
However, many males and females alike make a great living through boxing, wrestling, and mma, and I argue that they empower more people than they actually end up hurting. I'm sure fine citizens like Laila Ali, Mia St John, Trish Stratus, and other females do not regret their parlay into the world of female combat. Granted, some people will take the examples they see on TV and replicate it on their friends and such. But, this should be discouraged, if a contract and proper training is not present. And, if they are underage, the responsibility should fall on the parents, and not the state.
In fact, getting the rage out can be quite healthy. And, profit can even be involved if promoted correctly. A female might lose a match, or even be humiliated, but if she is getting paid for the performance, and if there are future revenue opportunities, most females can live with a week or two of simply being sore and wounded.
Of course, this is not for everyone.
But, if Female MMA is legal, if Female Boxing is legal, one should be able to assume that a sanctioned catfight is/should be legal as well providing the proper and safe environment and a signed contract between both parties.
Only after a catfight has taken place, if grievances arise, between 1 or 2 of the agreed parties, should the law get involved in my sole opinion, as we are not, or should not, be a nation that punishes thought crime.
Another charge that could be levied is that I am "promoting obscenity".
If there is anything obscene about two naked or clothed women engaging in passionate and determined action against one another............I think the person making the charge should consider that what is erotic for one person, may not be erotic for another.
Freedom.
The ability to choose. That's what we support. We don't shove the Catfight Report down people's throats that are not interested in this genre. That's probably why I have received zero hate mail just yet. However, as the Catfight Report grows, and as larger mediums report on the Catfight Report, the venom will surely come.
My response is that the original motto of this country was not "In God we Trust".
(I have nothing against God)
The original motto of the United States of America..................coined by Ben Franklin before it was changed in the 1900's..............was to "Mind your Business".
Mind your own business, and we will mind ours, as this is what promotes to a civil, respectful, and working society. Some people are turned on by goats, some people are turned on by the same sex, some people are turned on by people's feet, some people are turned on by feces, and some of us are turned on to female combat.
Diversity makes us great. The most boring society is one in which everyone thinks the same and likes the same thing. I ask those that do not like this genre, or what we promote or offer, not to visit this website, and, to respectfully, mind your business.
And we...................... will most certainly.................mind ours.
