RONDA Rousey has delivered the perfect response to critics who believe her body is too masculine, releasing a T-shirt with a clear message to the haters.

RONDA Rousey can beat people to a bloody pulp with her bare hands, but that doesn’t make her masculine, she says.

The UFC star released a T-shirt this weekend defending women who don’t fit the stereotype of how females should look and act. She reportedly sold more than 13,000 of her “DNB” shirts in the first 24 hours, raising hundreds of thousands of dollars for charity.

But what exactly is a “DNB” and why is it so important to the 28-year-old?

“I have this one term for the kind of woman that my mother raised me to not be. I call it a ‘do nothing b****’. Or, I call it a ‘DNB’ a lot of the time,” said Rousey.

“That’s why I think it’s hilarious if people say that my body looks masculine, or something like that. I’m just like, ‘Listen, just because my body was developed for a purpose other than f***ing millionaires doesn’t mean it’s masculine’. I think it’s femininely bad-ass as f*** because there’s not a single muscle on my body that isn’t for a purpose.

“Because, I’m not a do nothing b****. It’s not very eloquently said, but it’s to the point. And maybe that’s just what I am. I’m not that eloquent, but I’m to the point.”

All the proceeds from her T-shirt, telling people “Don’t be a DNB”, are going to the Didi Hirsch Mental Health Services Centre, which deals with women’s mental health and body issues.

While the bantamweight champion was on Instagram promoting her positive message, UFC rival Cris “Cyborg” Justino was using her own social media account to criticise the American.

She used a Straight Outta Compton meme to insult Rousey, claiming she was looking for excuses not to fight her. The 30-year-old suggested a fight next year would leave Rousey with no reason to avoid the bout.

“Ronda if you’re busy in December, how about April? Then we can make sure everyone knows we are both clean by doing Olympic testing leading up to the fight,” said Justino.

Rousey and the Brazilian clearly aren’t the best of friends, with the undefeated American landing a verbal blow after her 34-second win over Bethe Correia at UFC 190 last weekend.

“I fight in the UFC 135-pound (60kg) division. Cyborg can fight at 145 (65kg) pumped full of steroids and she can make weight just like everybody else without them,” said Rousey.

Justino was suspended from fighting for a year after testing positive for an anabolic steroid in 2011.
