First - I acknowledged this insomuch as I said I think it's contributing to the culture of belief that women's rightful place is as victims.

Second - I flat-out stated this.

Third - In general, in numbers, yes. But not true of all women and all men. And I allowed that women's defense classes have their place in the midst of a suite of classes on similar topics. And that it needn't be balanced by an equal number of men's only classes.

Fourth - This is a good point I hadn't considered. And a good argument for single-sex classes.

And I can't definitively tell you who's sponsoring the class, aka paying for it, but I do believe it's the city in some fashion or another. I don't see any 'in conjuction with Suchandsuch Gym' or 'sponsored by Dunkin Donuts' on any of the material.

Just a 'presented by instructors of' a martial arts 'training system', so possibly they're donating their time. But I can't tell. They're not a nonprofit, and so probably hoping to get some exposure and new students out of it, if they're not getting paid.
