i won't believe in it until it happens.Terminalchaos said:People used to say that to Martin Luther king Jr. about racism yet he still fought an unjust system. Sexism needs to be fought in all its hideous forms. If i can get arrested because my girlfriend hit me (and i have documented bruises) there is a problem in the system. The victim shouldn't be treated as a the victimizer based on his gender.rokkolpo said:yes we know that, the world is sexist it's been so for thousands of years.Fallen-Angel Risen-Demon said:It's bad beating up anyone. To say that it is worse to beat a girl is in itself sexist.
we all grew up with the thought of beating up someone from the ''weaker sex'' is not to be forgiven.
lessons we guys learned from our dad, and god forbid if dad got mad at us, SHIT WOULD HIT THE FAN! (shit being his foot, the fan being my ass)
sexism is not something you can escape, we are different, to say otherwise would be ignorant.
Equality on all levels. Women shouldn't be in military unless they want to be eligible for the draft (no one should be drafted imo but thats another topic), if a woman is an assailant she should be treated just as harshly legally and physically as a male assailant, the courts should stop favouring women in custody battles, women should get equal wages and equal responsibilities in the workplace as well. Equality removes both the positive and negative inequalities. A lot of modern day feminists want the same rights as men as well as the privileges traditional to women. That sexism cannot stand in the light of equality.
I'm gonna risk and say that most people here who say they would rather be beaten by a girl instead of hitting her are probably taking this into consideration :AngryMongoose said:Which raises the quesiton of whether the people here who'd refuse to hit a girl on the grounds that they're weaker would extend the same kindness to males with arms as thick as twigs.

The "Never strike a woman" protection vanishes the moment they strike me. I will not idly accept an ass kicking from anyone.Arionis said:Beating up a girl.
I was raised never to strike a woman, and if needed to defend myself, I can grapple well enough to disarm any weapon they are using, or to simply restrain them.
Beaten by a girl? No shame.
Beating one up? No honor. You're trash.

I feel like this is the best explanation. A girl that throws a punch at a guy, should expect the guy to fight back in some way.Eclectic Dreck said:The "Never strike a woman" protection vanishes the moment they strike me.

That said, the protection does extend all the way to the point where they throw a punch, which means I will withstand abuse until I can extract myself from the situation so long as said abuse is not physical.
