The idea that a woman should be let off for hurting her spouse since ‘men are stronger’ as if the definition of abuse changes depending on your gender.

It depends on how far you take it.

Where I feel for woman is they're physically weaker, they're not as loud, they don't have the same presence as men maybe unless they're very attractive. They also don't have the same tools available to them that men do for navigating the world skill wise.

Speaking in general terms, woman today don't understand loyalty, they don't understand honor or how respect actually works or some of the more Machiavellian ways the world works because men have barred them from partaking in the real world for most of human history. It must be very intimidating even if most woman wouldn't want to admit it.

As men, we see the world very differently from women. Not just because of biology but from how we're raised, our social expectations and so on. We do things all the time that woman see as disrespectful and sometimes it really is. Sometimes we don't understand the harm we're doing to women at any given moment because our perspective makes us oblivious to it.

I'm not saying that a woman should be excused for throwing shit and just flat out assaulting men. But let's be honest, pretty much any normal woman who would hit a man is completely incapable of actually hurting them from one shot. I think we can at least agree that it's totally different than a man hitting a woman.

Maybe in the future things will be different but as of today, it's really not that big of a deal except for how the laws work. A woman can hurt herself trying to hurt you and you could be treated as the aggressor.

But so far as I can tell, even that is beginning to change.

I have seen you claim you hate women, multiple times. Let me ask this. If you hate us so bad, why do you seemingly spend your life posting about us? Seems stupid, or dare I say? Fuckwit like?

If it's because "men are stronger" then it's mysoginy. If it's because "women are nurturing and so nothing we do is harmful" or something similar, that would be toxic femininity yes.

Navigating the choppy waters of relationship dynamics, it's clear as day that hurt is hurt, regardless of who’s dishing it out or taking it. The notion that one gender gets a free pass for harmful behavior due to physical strength, or any other reason, is like dancing on a tightrope without a safety net—it’s not just risky; it's downright dangerous. This idea muddies the waters of understanding around abuse and neglects the fact that emotional and psychological wounds can be just as devastating as physical ones. True strength in a relationship lies in vulnerability, understanding, and mutual respect, not in who can throw a harder punch, metaphorically speaking. Let’s aim for a love that lifts rather than leans on excuses for harm. Always remember, love should feel like a hit single, not a hit! 😏💔

Worry not in my family we have genuine equality. See if a woman hits a man she has sacrifices all protections of being a woman. As my mom always said. If a woman steps to a man like a man (using physical violence) then she can take that ass whooping like a man. Not once did my mother ever step to my dad like a man. And not once has my wife ever stepped to me like a man. Because her family taught her the same thing

It's misandry at its feminist highest.

I've known survivors of spousal abuse, women and men, who suffered broken bones and even spousal rape. It happens more often than people realise that women physically assault their husbands, even if the man is bigger/stronger. I've never met a man with bones tougher than a cast iron skillet or a golf club.

ManlyMan111 · Answer

No it isn't, because men literally ARE stronger than women, so if a woman beats up her husband/partner he needs to take it like a man and shut his mouth, women get a pass when it comes to hurting men, and plus women can't severely hurt a man anyway since women are physically weaker, a woman slapping or punching a man wouldn't do that much damage, so no, it isn't considered toxic femininity.

Zbrody1997 · Answer

Abuse is abuse no matter your gender and to have a double standard is toxic if a man can’t hit a woman a woman shouldn’t be able to hit a man without consequences.

ManInChains · Answer

Yes, because she is using her femininity to gain leverage/power over a man that he can’t do anything about.
