Two questions: One for guys and one for girls

[Raven's Nest]

I'm a guy and who says I have a difficulty with that? Please treat us as individuals thank you very much.

Ah but women have the advantage of targeting a very tender, very hittable weak spot that a man has. I mean really, one kick and as long as you're not fighting a eunuch, that dude is going down.

Relax my friend, we have the same advantage, or do you think the vagina isn't sensitive?

And you shouldn't hit girls - that just ain't cool.

Why not if she would be hitting me? A chick kicked me in the nuts once, obviously I '**** punted' her back. Served her right, she and her stupid chav friends bullied me long enough.

Ah the '**** punt'... I saw an excellent de-motivator on that the other day which I won't post here. Personally I think that's the greatest usage of the word '****'. And also, good on you.

OT: 1. I'm agreeing with what others have already said, men usually are stronger than women, that's just science, deal with it.

2. No woman who ever nipple crippled me didn't get one back... But I do refrain from punching them in the face, I'm built like a brick shithouse! So it'd be overkill to punch anyone's face, let alone a girl.

I've never met a woman who said that a guy shouldn't defend himself if a girl beats him up. That would just be plain stupid. Seriously.
And I don't know that much guys either who have problems with strong girls.

Maybe I live in an alternate dimension?

 

[okogamashii]

Thanks I expected a lot of "blah, because men are superior!" bs, but I'm glad I got some really good answers

 

[Thaius]

I think pretty much everyone can accept that girls can be just as strong as guys. I don't know anyone who won't own up to that.

As for not hitting a girl, it's the remnant of something wonderful, a beautiful thing that existed before feminism came along and screwed everything up. It's called chivalry. See, a long time ago, females may not have had many rights, but they were respected and treated well. Then they started fighting for their rights: now this was a great thing, because women deserve all the rights that men do. But once they got their rights they kept going, hoping to be seen as not only equal to men, but as the exact same. Thus, women began to be treated just like men treated each other, and the respect and care they once had was lost.

But there still remains a light of this mysterious force, something that still sometimes drives men to treat women well, as if they are princesses... it is but a remnant of the ancient practice known as chivalry...

A sad tale, really...

I'm a guy and simply put, I'm a male chauvinist.

 

[twistedshadows]

I've always thought the whole "don't hit girls" thing is ridiculous. I would actually be offended if a guy refused to hit me because of my gender (supposing there's a good reason to hit me). And if a guy gets attacked by a girl, why shouldn't he be able to defend himself? If a person attacks me (regardless of gender), I'm going to fight back, and the same should be said of anyone.

 

[Superior Mind]

Girls can be as physically strong or stronger than guys however women who are stonger than an average man are a not common. That's not to say they can't fight and indeed kick the arses of men who are physicaly stonger than they are - "who can beat who in a fight" does not neccesarily come down to strength, if it did I would have never won any fights in high school. However as a general rule as far as physical strength goes men are superior to women.

As to the other point - personally I would never hit a women unless there was a real necessity. If some mad woman is hitting me I will defend myself sure but I wouldn't lash out unless I realy had to, and I mean really had to. I think the type of person who would physically attack somone who is not as strong as they are, (and that goes for both men and women,) is a dickhead.

 

[DoomyMcDoom]

my answer is that the whole steriotype of girls being weaker is generated by a long history of men being the war fighting, hunting, protecting part of the species. though women are strong it's usually on the character strengths, steady caring kind of strength... of course in this world that's decaying rather steadily, and everyone is getting weaker...

not saying that women cannot be physically strong however, as they can be pretty tough and strong... I know a few who have always been stronger than me... dunno about now since i haven't seen some of them in years... but the thing is, it's based on a societal view which i don't accept as a base staging fact in which to see anything... so yeah...

 

[Smudge91]

To be honest if i hit a guy in the face and attacked, then retaliated with oh no you can't hit me because i'm a girl, then i would clearly deserve to be hit even harder back. Because a) no matter what sex people can't go round hitting each other, how childish is that. And b) you should never hurt someone who is physically weaker than you. Thats probably why its a big no to hit girls because most girls are weaklings. But if they do start the fight then meh they had it coming to them.

 

[Sion_Barzahd]

I know there are girls stronger than me. Though i tend to not want to believe it, could have something to do with them infringing on my masculinity or something.

 

[Labyrinth]

I can't answer for girls, but I can answer for women.

A lot of us don't "cling" to that. I sure as hell don't for one. On a gender equality basis I expect to get as good as I give. However in a lot of unpleasant situations it can be advantageous if someone hesitates before hitting me. I don't agree with it as a feminist.

I imagine may women still do because they aren't feminist, and still hold to the same values which sees trophy wives behind the white picket fence as ever they have been. Such things as the male making the first move, paying for dates, buying gifts, making decisions etc still exist. Wildly unfortunate in my opinion.

The problem arises when people seem to think that attitude means that abusive relationships are okay. They never are regardless of which partner is the aggressor or the victim.

 

[jonnosferatu]

First off, for the guys: Why is it so difficult for you guys to accept that a woman can be just as strong as they are?*

This will never be true given equal parameters of bodyweight, training age, etc.; the situation only comes up when you're talking about physically experienced girls compared to puny guys who have no idea what the **** being strong even MEANS. Frankly, if I had to train one of the two, I'd go with the girl just on the basis that she's already demonstrated that she's got the willpower to train properly - 90% of the guys I've tried to work with have just pussied out within a few weeks.

Continuing from the first sentence of that, there are girls who have been training longer than I have who are stronger than I am (*coughJUDYSVERCHEKcough*); however, I would be stronger than them within 5 years even if I stayed at their kind of bodyweight instead of bulking up to 200lbs in the interest of having more serious achievement potential.

I'm all for strong women, though (as you may have guessed). If we can't train together, how the hell do you expect to survive living with me?

EDIT: If we're going on mentally here, I regard girls and guys with the same lens; I've encountered more girls with a lack of apparent willpower or sense, but that's probably more a consequence of living in California than it is of any kind of predisposition towards it. Girls at a given level also tend to be more competent than guys just on the basis that they've had to fight harder to prove themselves.

My question for the girls is this: Why cling to that whole "don't hit girls" thing? If a woman can punch a guy in the face, shouldn't the man be able to defend himself or fight back without everybody acting like he's the devil?

...commenting to say that while my criteria for "Strike" are the same for both men and women, I'm not going to hit a girl as hard as I would a guy unless she appears to be a legitimate physical threat. I'm all for equality of view, but some scaling is kinda required when you're talking about a male powerlifter with 3 years' striking experience versus virtually any unarmed female.

i like to think im not sexist but if i see a guy hitting a girl i will beat him til hes foetal and crying

Frankly, I'd beat the crap out of anyone unjustly attacking anyone else with a major physical disadvantage. The fact that it's generally more likely to be a girl is completely coincidental.

 

[The Lea]

As people have said above, while an individual girl can most certainly be as strong if not stronger phsyically than a guy, in general guys are going to be phsyically stronger than girls.

And you shouldn't hit girls - that just ain't cool.

Now you see, that's just wrong. If a girl gets violent with you, you don't stand there trying to dodge. To do so is to admit that girls can do whatever they want with men simply because they are girls and have all of society behind them on these matters.

They have enough power over men as it is. All due to the fact that they refuse sex when they get hormonal over something irrelevant and we hate blueballs.
And admit it, if your gf hit you (And they do that alot you know) because she got pissed you'd still bang her at the end of the day. If you get pissed at a girl and just shout at her she'll dry up for a week before she has forgiven you for having the guts to oppose her irrational behaviour.

So the next time a girl starts hitting you because you ate the last cookie, clock her the fuck out and tell her to stop being such a hypocrite.

 

[DarkLordofDevon]

I know for a fact quiet a few girls could deck me if they wanted to and I don't particularly care. I don't do fighting. That is what minions are for. I am brains, not brawn.

 

[Glass_House]

I know several women who could kick the crap out of me, and yeah I don't really understand the whole don't hit girls thing (I myself don't do it but I am sure under the right circumstances, say me getting stomped, I wouldn't much care what sex they were).

*Though there are alternatives to hitting, such as wrapping up the arms. But it isn't really logical to stand there getting pummeled... and there is no way I would punch a girl in the face...

Women have always seem to be typically weak, weaker than men. that's why men in abusive relationships aren't taken as seriously.
People will always have this idea of women, and little sluts in the movies or whatever don't help our case.
My boyfriend knows I'm a lot stronger than I look, so he wouldn't even think about hitting me. It's a good job he's not that sort of man.
If a man ever wants to hit me, he can go ahead and do so. I won't leave him alive if he does though.
