There’s a women-only fight club in Guerrero, Mexico.
I am all for cultural traditions, and I am all for women-only fight clubs. In a long-standing cultural tradition that dates back to the Aztecs, women in the Nahua village of Guerrero, Mexico meet every year and beat the shit out of each other in a bizarre ritual to call the rain.
The tradition starts in the morning when women prepare a huge feast of food, which they then take to the center of town as an offering to the gods. Everyone in the village gathers in a circle and watches as women from rival villages beat the shit out of each other in the name of a healthy harvest.

The goal isn’t really to win in this fight club, it is to spill as much blood as possible. Blood is collected in buckets by innocent bystanders, then used to plow the fields later.
Say what you will about women-on-women violence but at least this cultural tradition isn’t boring and doesn’t typically involve genital mutilation.
