Is it okay then when a woman slaps a man for saying the wrong thing to her (examples like commenting on body fat, or hair-do, or clothes), or does the same standard hold, in which case the would man have to deck her with a fist before she is justified to use an open-palm slap (or a punch) on him in turn? Physical contact for physical contact, if provocated?Daystar Clarion said:
Good for you. I can't even hit a woman when she's belting me.Daystar Clarion said:
It's a difficult one, I'll concede that. Women fight by exploiting weak emotions, so they can force men into a position where they have to use their strength to get away. That can lead to the woman getting hurt. I think that most of the time the guy is going to feel terrible about it though. We may brag a lot, but our own emotions keep most of us in check, no matter what we may say.
Think about how many journalists will have dug into his past as soon as he made that comment, looking for any woman he might have hit. I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt on this one.
Of course it isn't ok, but that has nothing to with what we're talking about.ShadowsofHope said:
I know. And I don't specifically endorse such whatsoever. Though, it's not really all that different from hitting a man if he is being an asshole, is it?Daystar Clarion said:
Indeed he did. Although apparantly this was to help him 'resist temptation' in order that he may be enlightened or some such. But yes, at points he slept naked with his two neices in a bed. He was also rather racist in his early years. During his civil rights campaign for Indians in South Africa he went to lengths to agree with the British on their treatment of the natives of the country. This is somewhat lost to most of the writings about him however, they tend to be hero worship really.Glademaster said:
Most music historians agree that while it was impressive that Mozart wrote a symphony at 6, it was pretty mediocre and unoriginal, especially considering his later works. The only reason he was invited to play it in front of the royals was because it was incredible to see a six year old write a symphony, as you said.Jarimir said:

Agree with both of you. His interview with Matt Laurer after the end of his presidency really put him into a new perspective in my eyes. That interview is, in my opinion, the best piece of journalism of the last twenty years. It tells you what it is really like to be president, and how god damn difficult decisions can be at times. Bush was incredibly unlucky in a lot of ways.emeraldrafael said:
While it can be argued that there is a right time to hit a woman I would like to point out the last sentence of that quote. 'I think a man has to be slightly advanced, ahead of the woman.' That sounds like a pretty damn fine example of misogynism to me.The_root_of_all_evil said:
And you've never heard a woman say "Give it to me, you'll only break it" or "Men! Useless lot!"? C'mon...give him a break.Bobic said:
