To my eye, there are many women's sports that can actually be more interesting to watch, because as slightly slower and less physical styles of play, you can "see" the level skill a little more easily and appreciate the "beauty of the game." Soccer and tennis come most readily to mind. But in the sports where "physical" is part and parcel of the game (e.g., wrestling and hockey), they don't do much for me.

I don't necessarily like watching females wrestle (or brutally honestly, pretty much any other sport, because of the difference in explosiveness), but as a father of a 13yr old daughter, it is just as (if not more) important that she has those skills than it is for my sons. My daughter has on two occasions used her grappling/BJJ to subdue individuals who were trying to attack her; one of them was a boy, when she was in 4th grade.

well of course; self defense and sports are two entirely different animals
