If i'm to hit a guy i damn well expect him to try to hit me back. We don't live in a fantasy land where us girls are magical creatures who need protecting, if i act like a bitch i expect to be treated like one tbh.
Women do need protection sorry
Trust me when i say i dont need a man to protect me.
I'm not sure you realise what "egalitarian" means.
Also I don't think random men striking random women happens nearly as commonly as you think it does.
I didn't realise that being 6 inches shorter than someone was a free ticket to hit without repercussions. I'm just not seeing the equality here.
Studies prove that the average man spends 14% more time at work and is NINE TIMES more likely to die on the job for the same reason your defending. Most people won't attack a woman so her safety isn't nearly as threatened. Payment equality? Other things need to be fixed first. I support equal payment as long as ALL circumstances are equal.
What about women hitting men? Is that permissible? And there is a lot of research refuting the fact that women are less aggressive than men. I'd be happy to share some of those studies.
Please do. I want to see them
From my grandmother, may she rest in peace: "If you raise your hand in violence to anyone, be you woman, man, elderly, or child, expect to get hit back."
By your points, if a smaller man hits me, that means I can't hit him back either?
Simple and sweet. Just the way it should be. I couldn't even finish the Take. It was so painful...
yes i agree with you on all aspects except the driving part lol, other than that as much as I believe that there should be gender equality there are some differences which cannot be ignored, that is why women still prefer some gender roles in a relationship should be intact and that is why women shouldn't be hit...
Da fuq dud I just read? Men can't hit women, not even in self defense? That's screwed up man.
It is screwed up, but it is very common. The belief that men aren't suppose to be able to hit a woman back even in self defense is a common belief held by an older generation. When you hear a guy talking about double standards in feminism, this is actually one of the most common issues that guy has. He has most likely been the victim of violence caused by a woman at some point, were had he defended himself, he would have been treated like a monster, and possibly attacked by a mob of angry people for hitting a girl in self defense.
Luckily most people in the younger generations like yourself seem to have far less sexist ideals about what equality is suppose to mean, as oppose to picking and choosing when women wants to be equal, and when she wants special treatment.
I don't really care about all that stuff, in some situations if you ask to get hit then you get what's coming to you, some women who lash out at men are behaving like animals and deserved to be treated as such... they should have thought about the fact that a man is 50% stronger before she got all up in his shit. A vagina is not a free pass to do what you want without other people retaliating.
Men are better drivers though... Also I do agree about women using their weakness as an excuse to play the victim but then using the whole equality crap to endorse their beliefs about men and women being equal... Just sayin...
There are women out there who are a lot bigger and a lot stronger than me. It's better to not hit anyone you don't need to hit, people who are smaller than me and weaker than me can be defended against with restraint rather than outright violence. The only way to achive equality is to abolish gender and judge people on their individual merits.
You should only ever hit ANYONE if you consider them an immediate threat.
Don't hit a woman if she's acting like, for lack of better word, a bitch but if she's physically violent then restraint is probably enough to diffuse the situation.
When it comes to one person hitting another, neither the gender nor sex of either person is relevant to whether it's wrong or not. (Though hitting a pregnant woman is arguably worse than hitting a healthy man or healthy woman who isn't pregnant - but it's just as wrong for a woman to do that.)
If a guy has poor muscle tone (is weak), has asthma (reduced lung capacity), is a shorty (say 5'3) and is underweight (perhaps 100 pounds) is it alright for him to hit a typical woman?
Makes no sense. You can hit anyone in self-defense, if a woman is coming at you with a weapon you knock her out.
I'm 220lbs and bench press 450lbs, by your logic I couldn't hit an average man, because average man compared to me is much weaker than average woman compared to an average man.
I'm with you on everything you said and to the guys who abuse women you are idiots.
I think both men and women should have equal rights to whatever thery want. Men and Women both are humans and both should be treated equally. Nobody is more or less than the other gender!
I only hitmen or women out of self defense and I will never pull my punches. You attack another human being you lose the right to life sowomen being physically smaller doesn't lower my incentive to fight back because I fight to kill. I dont subdue that just gives them another chance to attack me in the future.
If people disagree they should at least be mature enough to say why.
People are disagreeing because you are saying if someone hits you that you will try to commit homicide, what. the. fuck. dude.
Maybe you watched rocky balboa too many times but it doesn't take that many hits to endanger someones life. Its like you're excusing the attacker for what theyre doing. Im absolutely allowed to defend my life against anyone and since im the one being attacked its at my discretion to do as I see fit to preserve myself.
Actually what we're discussing here is more along the lines of a woman slapping a man, but even a punch should not threaten a mans life. Are you insane?
No, it is actually not up to you, I'm fairly positive that if you murdered a woman for slapping you, the judge wouldn't go "oh but it was self-defence"
Not a slap. If they slapped me once id just have them thrown in prison but if they come at me again im not gonna wait and see if theyre going to slap me again or do something worse. Besides the real question should be why did they slap in the first place because attacking someone when they didn't attack you is not excusable in any way. Honestly if anyone REGARDLESS of gender hits another person they should be ready for it to come back at them. you're promoting little people attacking bigger peoplenwhich is beyond scerwed up.
Wow, you need help.
Says the person thats cool with smaller people attacking bigger. And some people wonder why we can't have world peace...
Your approach would only work in the wild where no creatures are sentient.
Going for the kill when someone attacked you will get you a prison sentence, if you hurt them beyond self-defense. It shows that you're primitive and unable to control yourself.
This is not to say you shouldn't defend yourself from a female attacker. But if your response is to murder them, you do indeed need help. We can't have world peace because of aggressive people like you, who think they're entitled to kill someone because you were initially attacked.
@MaskedSanity Look I over generalized on doing that to everyone that hits me. But what people don't understand is that a lot of the time you don't know the person is trying to actually kill you until it's too late. I'm not violent I would never put a finger on anyone that isn't trying to cause hodily harm to others. But if I feel like my life is in danger and they do attack me I will hurt them to the point that they could never be able to attack me at any point in the future. Simply subduing them isn't really enough because they can easily attack me again at some point in the future and I might not be as lucky next time. This whole conversation wouldn't even need to happen if people kept their hands to themselves. We should be teaching these girls the taker is talking about to not hit guys not for guys to not retaliate. Being strong makes you better at hitting not taking a hit. A guy can feel as much pain as a woman for the same hit.
I personally support self-defense against women and while consider myself a non violent person, would like to see a few chicks get punched in the face when pulling the vagina card after hitting a guy. Just a bit of reality getting slapped into them would work wonders.
But I can't imagine a situation where subduing or harming a person to the point of them being unable to harm back is not achievable, unless you're faced with the very rare case of lunatic killer.
You can knock someone out - that would stop them. Then finding a means to tie them up wouldn't be that difficult. Killing, on the other hand, will guarantee your safety - but for how long? In prison you'll be faced with fatal threat on a daily basis. Will you just carry on murdering everyone you suspect to be a threat? What if your instincts are way off and you're sending people off to their graves out of adrenaline fueled paranoia?
People SHOULD keep their hands to themselves, women included.
But self-defense =/= licence to kill.
@MaskedSanity its about them attacking me a different day. Stopping them that one time doesn't mean I'm safe. After they get out of jail why wouldn't they come back for more? They've already proven themselves a psycho when they first attacked me. They should suffer not me. That's just how justice works. I don't enjoy violence at all but I will do what I must to protect myself and other good people for life. Subduing them is only temporary. The taker is just trying to excuse hers and other psychos behavior about assaulting men just because she is smaller (which in an assault actually wouldn't matter in this day and age of knives guns and assortment of blunt objects you can find in a home all of which a frail women could kill a big guy with just the first hit)
I don't want someone to have to suffer just that once they attacked me someone will suffer and better them than an innocent person. Just wanted to clarify about the statement I made of them suffering.
You are never safe.
You could be walking past and shaking hands with serial killers every day without even realising it.
You won't be a hero for killing someone. You'll be placed in the same category as the same people you claim you're trying to protect others against.
Yes but the difference is those people DID attack me. I don't hurt others on the suspicion that they'll attack me. Again only if they do make a move would I do anything. The taker is saying that the crime is only committed when the guy slaps back but thinks its ok for what the girl did. Read some of her responses to people. She even made the assertion that some of the guys deserve being hit. Could you imagine if the genders were reversed with that statement?
If it's in self defence, then a guy can reasonably smack a bitch in my opinion.
But in all other scenarios, hitting a woman (or anyone for that matter) is unnecessary.
Oh look... another article by a female who thinks women are above men. Yawn. by the way, I don't care if YOU think it's okay for men to hit women. Hit me first, get hit yourself. Simple.
So if a women hits a man and keeps coming out her it's immoral for him to defend himself and knock the bitch out?
I can't take people like you seriously.
A woman should always have the right to beat a guy's ass whenever she wants, and as a guy, I have no problem taking a beating from a woman, whenever she needs to take her anger out on me.
