Ofcoarse not. We don't need to go backwards in time.
Hitting people is bad, do people still do it? Yes, those are bad people.
Are a group of men guilty of something? Sure.
Should we be allowed to do what they did because it's apparently fair that way? NO! Hitting people is bad, it doesn't matter what minority or majority gets away with it. It doesn't change it from being bad. People think suicide is good, doesn't mean we should all go jump into traffic.
What we should keep on keeping on is this separate good people from bad people and characterize between according to their merits and deeds in relation to what is good and bad. We should almost always be condemning that behaviour and we should also be condemning the hysteria that would promulgate such a sarcastic and bitter attitude. This question included, but at the same time we still have to be nice enough so we don't backfire the whole thing.

Thankfully, I don't have violent people in my life, be them men or women.
The only who got verbally abusive with me, my best female friend, got immediately cut off of my life.
I don’t think anyone should hit unless in drug degrade. And certainly not someone smaller than you regardless of your or their sex. It’s not worse for 250 pound man to hit a 90 pound woman than it is for a 250 pound woman to hit a 90 pound man. But I think violence is bad and used for incredibly dumb reasons. Self defense is swift degree not violence. People use violence and use self defense as excuse. She / he slapped me so I beat the shit out if her/ him. I was protecting myself 🙄
Unfortunately I do think women need to carry defense even if they are strong bc you can’t take down a gang rape even with a black belt in gymnastics tai Kwon do
That’s ridiculous.

Fuck it, I’ll say it. I believe that if a woman is gonna start swinging at a man then the man she’s attacking should be well within this rights to fight back with reasonable force, if she doesn’t stop unless he knocks her out then he shouldn’t get in trouble for knocking her out and legally it should be seen as self defence just like it would be if the roles were reversed.
I got picked on a lot at school and got into a lot of fights I didn’t start. While most of the aggressors were male my two most violent and dangerous were both females. One in fifth grade attacked me and when she realised that she wasn’t gonna win a fistfight with me she pulled out a box cutter (where the hell does a fifth grade kid even get one of those at a school?) and the other one was when I was in year 8 a girl in the grade below me attacked me at lunch time with a triangular metal ruler and because I refused to hit her back I instead ended up with scratches and bruises all over my legs and marks and bruises all over my arms from protecting my head. If there was no double standard about hitting women back I’d have been unlucky to come out with a couple of bruises but because of that double standard I was covered in marks and it hurt to walk for the next two days. All because some girl decided she didn’t like me and I didn’t put up with her crap.
If I ever start a fit with a woman and she puts me on my ass, that’s fine too but that’s already socially acceptable but if a woman comes up and sucker punches me and then keeps swinging and I even dare to do anything other than block and dodge as best I can and hope for someone with authority to intervene and get them off me then I’m some kind of abusive monster even though if a man did the same thing and I put him on his ass that’s socially acceptable.
I’ve seen a lot of your other posts and it really seems like you have something against men so I’ll end with this: not every man is a monster and I was taught to fight by my mother and later her and my step father. She herself once said to me that she would understand if I knocked out or broke the arm of a woman that pulled a knife on me in an alley. She told me in any situation where I’ve been attacked I should do whatever I need to to end that fight as quickly as possible to minimise my chance of getting hurt and if I get in trouble she’d have my back. And to address the end of your question no I don’t think it’s ok for a guy to just hit a woman in an argument but if she slaps him cause she didn’t like a point he made and he slaps her back he shouldn’t be the only one to have that stigma on him, either neither of them should or they both should.As a southern gentleman I don't believe in hitting a woman. However, if she starts coming at me with the intention to do harm I will push her away, put a barrier between us or give her some coffee to save myself. If she has a weapon and intends to end my life, I might have to hit her then. It's self defense of my own life after all.
You just finding out there is a lot of sexism here? Guess what? There is a lot of racism as well.
As for a woman or man defending themselves, violence is never the answer. But too many guys here are fine with it, as long as they are the winner. They don't like it too much if they end up losing.
That's not the most masculine of positions, but whatever.
It isn't that I agree or disagree. I just don't like the premise. I think the way this forum is tilted, you are kind of letting these trolls push you into a corner. We all know that women can learn how to shoot a gun and become just as violent as any man. But if we get to a point where all we can express to each other is violence based upon politics, sex, or race, we are done.The only people who say this really have an urge to hit women back. No one should be hitting anyone but if a woman hits you, then you charge her with physical assault, not go all out and punch her in the face.
I don't think it's okay to lay hands on someone because of something they said, but if someone lays hands on you and hits first, then why shouldn't one be allowed to defend themselves.
Gender isn't an excuse to get away with violence or take away someone's right to defend themselves.I agree and disagree.
First of all, I’m sure there were plenty of men who took care of their woman. Back in the day. I mean wasn’t there a time we were just suppose to sit there and look pretty? I’m not a feminist lol. But yeah, women didn’t have a lot of opportunity and social standards were different over time.
NATURALLY, men are stronger than women. Something about their testosterone helps. When I say that, I mean just that. Men are phsically a little more stronger. bit today a women can kick a scronny guys butt.
So I think it could most definitley help someone improve their skills in fighting... but also there should be standard on how two people are determined to fight.
This is just my proposal though. My science could be flawed for all I know 💁🏻♀️It wouldn't be okay if men hit women first because;
1) Men generally have stronger upper body strength (like it says in "Are Women the Stronger Sex?" free from obooko)
and
2) Assault and battery are illegal, regardless of who hits first.
#ERAIm a supporter of doing the same thing women do to men. Men should carry some kind of cheap self defense weapon instead of using their own strength and then gender doesn't matter any more. But I know there would still be complaints and accusations if I tazed a girl that attacked me so I've willed myself to just eat the damage and ignore her after
For several decades now, it has been seen as socially acceptable, How women were treated hundreds of years ago has no more to do with the modern day than slavery. Putting your hands on anyone is wrong, but how men feel is if that a woman is willing to put her hands on a man just because she feels like it, then she should be willing to get hit back.
Some girls need to be taken down a notch, just how it is.
Don't expect special treatment just because women have been, allegedly, mistreated in the past.There are men, sorry Trans people joining women's sports and are killing it. A women that trained there whole life to be number one and some dude with small titties and long hair comes in and destroys their dreams. I do not agree with this. It's one of those be careful what you wish for type of things
No, there'll always be the one group of people who would want more. I don't think equal rights is a thing anymore.
For some reason I thought we'd got past this as a society.
Could very well lead to them. Other women cause those problems too.
I disagree because no one should be hitting anyone
You should care.
I AGREE!👍
