Violence... Against Women. I was listening to the radio today, and someone called in, and the host (Who is a big douchebag. He also thinks weed is a really dangerous drug lmao) started a conversation about violence. He said, word for word: "I was raised from day one, by my mother and father, to NEVER, EVER lay a hand on a women". The caller (Who was a women) replied with: "Well you shouldn't lay a hand on anyone really." And the host finished it with: "Yeah... But especially a women." Am I the only one that thinks that sounds stupid? What makes a women so special, that they can hit men, but not vice versa? Is it because they are "weaker" than us males? I'd be willing to bet I would get my arse kicked by a chick like Beth Phoenix (But I wouldn't mind  )It's funny that feminists fight for equality, yet, they can get away with things men go to jail for. They also serve shorter prison sentences on average, and have a greater chance of winning a custody battle than men. So, they can hit a man, but if a man hit a women, straight to the big house? Damn. I don't think we should be violent towards anyone. Where has this "Especially women" come from? If anything, women could do more harm to men than the other way around. We have two targets in the front of our pants, that hurt like f*** when someone kicks them. God damn. I try to avoid psychical confrontation the best I can, but I'm gonna defend myself. If a b*** punches me, I'm gonna punch her. If a guy punches me, I'm gonna punch him. I don't support violence, unless it's a last resort, but I believe in equality, and equality is men and women being treated the same, so I wish people would stop with this "especially women" bulls***. STOP VIOLENCE |

In the words of a photo who's resolution is too small for me to post... If you believe in equality then any appropriate reason to hit a man is an appropriate reason to hit a woman, there aren't a lot of reasons where it's appropriate to hit anyone but having a vagina doesn't make you a magically fragile creature. If a woman starts attacking you, you defend yourself simple as that. "She's coming at me with a knife! But oh no, not allowed to hit women I'll let her stab me" Also all these things just generally say "stop violence against women" as if men are the only people that hit women, are women not allowed to hit each other? And everyone is allowed to hit men without penalty. Yay for logic! I see the wisdom to not hitting an attacking woman if she's like 4 foot tall, weighs 7 stone and you're this big almost 7 foot 15 stone monster who could probably slap her out of existence but still you have the right to defend yourself against anyone. |

I think the double standard exists because men are naturally taller, heavier and some people say, stronger than women, but that still gives them no right to hit men, and vice versa. In an ideal world, nobody would fight, but hey, if you want to fight like a man, I'll fight you like a man. |

The singular form of women is woman. Just saying.  But yeah, this is true. And to be fair, it's mostly non-feminist conservative women who think this way, not liberal feminists. Men can complain about feminists all they want, but in reality they don't think this way. Haha |

The Führer has always liked the saying, "Everyone cries for equal rights until it no longer benefits them." You want to be treated as a man's equal, you take the consequences as well, and that means being hit like one. Edited by Pyrus, Apr 18 2014, 01:30 PM.

Yeah, but most women who whine about it aren't even feminists. So what's your point? Haha |

I think the phrase "Equal rights, equal fights" sums it up. |

Chris rock said it best: "You know what they say, "There's no reason to ever hit a woman." s***! There's a reason to hit everybody. You just don't do it. s***, there's a reason to kick an old man down a flight of stairs. You just don't do it. Ain't nobody above an ass-whoopin" |

Wasn't this a rule created by men in the first place? I'm sure there is some historical reasoning behind it. Eitherway, I don't believe in fighting, if people want to do it as a sport, that's fine because the majority of violent sports are in a retentively safe environment to do so, I don't like those sports but whatever. Also, there are people who enjoy being hurt (masochism) in which case, whatever, male or female if you enjoy it, why not. |

I presume its a social status/male chivalry thing. In more modern times, most people of sanity know fighting/hitting people in general is a bad thing. Older mind sets suggested that women were ,wrongly I might add, inferior to men in all ways, mental capacity/strength/overall capability to do anything. There was a time were men were "allowed" to beat there wives, spawning the term "the rule of thumb", as you were allowed to beat your wife with a stick no wider than your thumb. It eventually came to light that beating women is very wrong, mainly because ,as per the social status, "Ladies" didn't fight anybody, and men would only fight men. Thus hitting a women would seem to be the worst kind of violence, a in theory (again due to social status of women at the time) women wouldn't fight back. And of course a "real man" would treat his "Lady" a certain way etc. As with many things that apply today, many of these rules still exist, I think mainly as a lot of things haven't changed until the past 100+ years (social status wise at least). Of course men and women are very much equal, but does that mean certain other "ideologies" should go away as well? Like a man paying for the first date? Opening the door for a women? It's just an idea created by men, because at the time "women couldn't [or wouldn't] defend themselves". As a guy you are told this stuff as you grow up, "Treat a women right. / hitting women is wrong" etc. Long winded explanation/rant, but overall wrong to hit anybody. |

The whole "chivalry" thing in today's society is tricky for me... On one hand, I think it's good that boys are taught to treat women with respect, open doors for them, pay for their dinner, etc. But I firmly believe that women should be taught this as well. If you respect and care for a person, you should be willing to take care of them and do simply things like open doors and pay for their dinner regardless of gender. Just my two cents. |

You don't hit women the same way you don't hit children, old people or mentally ill people. They are seen as not on the same level in terms of physical force and they are not fair game. I'm totally cool with the double standard because it makes sense. Now if a woman is literally trying to whoop your a*** or trying to kill you then yea sure, take her out, but you can handle a smack or two from a 100 pound girl and not go all ape on her. You can be a man and restrain her and tell her to calm her little a*** down. |

Showing traits of masculinity. Duh. In this case it is showing restraint on the weaker life forms who don't know what kind of beast they are stirring up. If some woman slaps me I'm not going to all out maul her. That would be ridiculous. Imagine if someone is there watching me stomp out some poor helpless woman because she had the idiocy to slap me for some surly remark I made. That would be crazy. You have to factor in level of threat in your physical actions towards another human being. Now if someone larger than me did something like that, it's completely acceptable to stomp a mud hole in them. Heck, someone might even offer to buy me a beer, food or some drugs for doing so. ( true story )

So a women with big muscles and a tough attitude, perhaps covered in tattoos, is she a man? A man, fairly skinny build, quiet and possibly timid, is he a woman? |
