2. Why not women

Exactly why shouldn't women do punch bag workouts? For starters, the anecdote you accompany this lovely misogynist statement with conflicts with it. It sounds like she could get a lot out of using it because it can improve her accuracy with punches and such, which would be entirely necessary thanks to the rape culture that we are still suffering in. Punch bag workouts are excellent for both aerobic and muscle workout, why wouldn't a woman want to do this? I personally have dodgy knees, so I can't run and live in a very hilly area so cycling absolutely sucks. Punch bag workouts are one of my best options...

Just a reasonable explanation as to why women can't do this would be really fab, thanks.
