I agree 100%.

I feel like a man should have the right to defend himself if he's attacked by anyone.

Men can't be raped but women can. Slowly the concept is starting to change, but it's been a pretty bad double standard since laws against rape against women.
I both agree and disagree.

Men get raped as often, or even more often than women, but a lot of men are too insecure to report it because a claim of rape is embarrassing and takes away from their masculinity.
This creates single-sided statistics that favor women getting raped more, and society creates that thought that men don't get raped at all, or only in prison.

As for the op, any gender based double standard sucks; and there's disadvantages and double standards on both sides.

For example, plenty of female athletes are expected to answer questions that pertain to their clothing or their bodies, but male athetes are not expected to, and no one even asks them (unless it's like body-building or something).
It wasn't until 2012 that men could legally be raped in the U.S though, but yeah many men are too embarrassed or afraid of ridicule for being raped. I've heard of a few stories where men get raped and when they go to report it the proper authorities just called them lucky guys and ignored the report of them being raped.

To add on the the athletes thing

Female journalists are allowed by force into the changing rooms for male athletes while they are changing for the sake equality/feminism or whatever, but the reverse is not allowed for male athletes in the locker room until the female athletes are completely changed.

We're in a really weird spot right now post feminism and a ton of crap is off balance.

I agree with the gender and race related double-standards, perhaps more so the gender ones because in every race there are two biological sexes which makes all of those double-standards rife across every society in the world. They piss me off the most too.

Another double-standard which is really annoying which I don't think anybody has mentioned yet is things that older generations do and say to younger generations. For example, people in my grandma's generation will complain that the country is going to s*** and vote to leave the EU, even though the aftermath and consequences will be for my generation to deal with.

I assume you're talking about Hillary Clinton and comparing what she did/had done to Kristian Saucier and Bryan Nishimuras cases. This has always been the case and has sparked riots like the Crown Heights riot, but I'll refrain from saying more.

Strong as in strong willed? I agree.

The average women just doesn't have the testosterone levels to be an actual threat. Combine that with the fact most don't even know how to throw a punch = a big power gap. You don't hit women for the same reason you don't hit kids.

Compare the likes of Ronda Rousey or Laila Ali to your average man and the guy will get f***ed up.

Obviously. Ronda is far from average and knows how to throw a punch.


Is it okay to hit children because some are as skilled as the karate kid?

Don't see what a kid has to do with 2 full grown adults going at it. Kids have a hell of a less chance of beating an a guy than a woman does.

The point is, just because you don't have a wing-wang doesn't mean you should get special treatment when it comes to physical confrontation. If we're so equal, if a woman wants to fight a man like a man then she damn sure be ready to take a punch like a man.
