Women have come so far in the last century, from getting the vote in 1918 to becoming (almost) equally paid members of society in modern day.
But it would seem there's still a market for watching warring women in just their underwear throw each other around a ring.
Grabbing each other by the waist and pulling their stockings down, it doesn't look like the most spectacular physical form of fighting.
The sight - which has to be seen to be believed - is an annual event called the Lingerie Fighting Championships.

Held in Las Vagas, of course, it involves women getting all dolled up with the finest hairdos and thick over-done make-up to take each other on in the ring.
This year the championships were called Lingerie Fighting Championships 20: A Midsummer Night's Dream - but there was nothing ethereal or beautiful about the fights.
The woman tussle and grab each other all the while trying to stay looking good and not really hurt themselves.
One woman who wouldn't take any of this lying down is Mel Sykes, who spoke to Express.co.uk exclusively about being 'sexy'.

This is Jenevieve "The Sorceress" Serpentine posing before a fight
It's like a lacy version of WWE - fake fighting - without the entertainment.
One woman in particular, Jenevieve "The Sorceress" Serpentine, posed 'seductively' with a live snake before taking to the ring.
The animal was curled around her as she crouched down wearing fishnet tights with holes pulled through and six inch heels.
Could this be the most sexist event of modern day? Quite possibly.
