People don't seem to realize just how much men get abused by women. It's just as bad and as common (if not more so) as a woman being abused by a man. There should surely be more awareness. However, I disagree with this because abuse is wrong. Unless you're fighting in self-defense, you shouldn't be fighting.

I understand, you make a valid point, but like Sir Isaac Newton said, "for every action there is a reaction of equal or greater measure." =P

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Which I agree with. But that's not really the reaction he was speaking of. Anyway, obviously if someone is attacking you, you have the right to defend yourself, regardless of gender.

" I disagree with this because abuse is wrong. Unless you're fighting in self-defense, you shouldn't be fighting." "Anyway, obviously if someone is attacking you, you have the right to defend yourself, regardless of gender." post says:you hit someone expect to get hit back regardless of gender.

But you don't need to hit someone just because they hit you. If you can walk away, you should.

yeah but thats not what the post is about, all your arguments make it look like you should have voted yeah you are except you "dont believe in violence" thats all i was gettin at your red vote confuses me

I suppose... The post is just worded in a way which sounds really violent. I know that not believing in violence is probably odd for a black belt lol, but I just don't think it's right.

that is odd for a black belt haha. but im sure you use it in self defense. i hope.

It's one of the things we're taught is to be disciplined. The idea of being able to fight and using it are different things. I only fight if I have to, and then only enough to get out of the situation.

I didn't think of abuse when I read this, my first thought was a girl hitting a guy in a playful manner and them complaining if he does the same thing back

I've seen some crazy bitches take on huge guys. It was kind of scary.

Also, if you throw a rock at a man, expect to get the shit slapped out of you.

Real men don't slap

Women don't actually want true equality. Most appreciate having separate bathrooms (which would have to be eliminated to be considered truly equal) as well as not be drafted. Thats why the Equal Rights Amendment died. I know, not the main focus of the post, but you did bring it up.

@1089923 (nantsingonyama): SOME don't, yes. I am female and I don't believe in drafting, but if it were to happen, I think women should be drafted as well. Why are seperate bathrooms unequal, though? Nearly everyone appreciates seperate bathrooms.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

They are unequal because if men and women were to be truly equal, there could be no legal separation of them. It's like how with race back in the day "separate but equal" was challenged and defeated because it is not truly equal.

Beat me to it :/ I was basically just gonna say that (at least in America) we aren't equal, therefore we get different privileges and disadvantages. I'm not saying women should be able to hit men and have them not fight back, I'm just saying we're not equal.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

I very much want true equality. So the bathrooms are combined, so my husband and I get drafted into the same war, so what? However, some women prefer being the "softer" gender, and being protected, and these women are the reason that there will never be true equality.

I should have put a most in front of the women in the first sentence, my apologies. I take it you are a feminist?

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Yeah... just a tiny bit. I realize, however, that some women wouldn't actually want equal rights, so the rest of us have no chance. It makes me sad, but I'm just glad I was born in a time where women have some semblance of equality.

Also,girls are naturally less strong than men. In general (but not always) women are less strong. Also, women deserve chivalry and for boys to be gentlemen. We are delicate and men need to understand they cannot be too rough.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

No one should ever hit a girl. Even if they hit a male, there is very little chance that they did any damage or hurt him at all. If the guy hit her back though, he could seriously hurt her. Boys forget their strength sometimes and its a fact that, in general, boys are stronger than girls. so no. boys should not be able to hit a girl just because she hit him.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

That is an overgeneralized statement. I don't know where you live, but there are PLENTY of girls out there that are aggressive and can carry their weight.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

You don't think its a fact that men have more musceles then girls and could easily take one of us down? All i know is if i hit a boy, i would be terrified if he tried to hit me back. I would probably end up in a hospital, even if they didnt mean to do much damage. Most girls are delicate, you cant just beat them down because they hit you. It probably wouldnt hurt you anyways.

Newsflash: There are plenty of physical altercations between men where one is scrawny and the other is beefy. I truly do understand your view, BUT I'm not saying if a girl punches a guy then he has the right to kick her ass. I'm saying she shouldn't be surprised when he retaliates with equal or greater force. Did you take into account the "(roughly your size)" part of my post? Because I definitely took into account that guys are typically stronger than girls (not in all cases though, e.g large woman skinny man). My question to you is, why would you knowingly put yourself into a situation that you aren't ready for??? That's not a wise thinking if you ask me. Thus, if a girl punches a guy she shouldn't pull the "I'm delicate card."

by Anonymous 13 years ago

NO MAN SHOULD EVER HIT A WOMAN. that is wrong. Men like to pull the "women need to be in the kitchen" or "We need to protect the women" but then if one of them hits you, all of that is out the window and the man is allowed to kick her ass? no. thats not what should happen. there are plenty of ways for a man to stop the confrontation without ever laying a hand on the girl.

Chivalry is dead, and women killed it. That's all I have to say.
