Doesn't make sense ethically coz: a) There is no responsibility to be able to fight b) There will always be someone stronger/better armed

Being able to fight lowers the number of people in b), and therefore has its advantages.

Yes. Being able to fight is a precaution against becoming a victim of violence but should not be a responsibility. Big time commitment.

Could be considered a responsibilty if one is counted on for protection. Was much more of a responsibilty at one time than now.

Yes, we can think of many situations where a man cld reasonably decide learning to fight was a major responsibility.
