Will someone please explain why hitting a girl is bad but hitting a guy is fine?

[eggy32]

Males on average have more hit-points than females.

That may be true but men have one easily accessible weak point, couple that with the fact that most of womens' shoes such as stilettos re pointy and you've got a formula for easy massive damage.

 

[Contun]

It's a double standard, but I agree with it. You shouldn't hit a lady.

 

[eggy32]

Girls are generally weaker than guys. It might not always hold true but most guys can often underestimate their own power and hit harder than expected.

Sure, I'll punch guys as a joke, on the arm or whatever, but it literally never hurts them. Guys have punched me before, as a joke, in the same way, thinking they're hitting me as hard as they hit me, but it's often painful as fuck, and i'm left with a bruise and my eyes get all watery.

I don't even think men & women can be equal. We're superior to each other in different ways so being equal is impossible.

I reckon that women are generally treated with more respect by decent men because we're the reason the human race continues as it does. Think about it. You exist because of your mother, a woman. Your mother exists because of her mother who exists because of her mother, and so on, all the way back to the beginning of humans. Humanity owes everything it has to the women of the world.

Did you forget that those women exist because of men?

I've always heard women can handle pain more than men (childbirth, etc.).

Yes and no. When a woman carries a child and ultimately gives birth to that child she will have a period where her nerve's reaction to pain is significantly lessened. Now it's still very painful for them but nowhere near as painful as they normally are. Normally, outside of childbirth and a couple other instances (these escape me at the moment I believe another is during their period not sure though) a woman will be more susceptible to pain than a man. So technically it's both, but most of the time she is more susceptible to pain than a man.

I'm one of those all-round funky cool guys who doesn't hit people of either sex.

Well, a man is required to form a zygote, which is made when a Male and Female gamete fuse.
One cannot exist without the other. So we are equal in that sense.
Our standing in society is equal, but our physiology will never be equal.

Cause guys can take it, secretaries will always be women, and we live in slightly sexist society.

Women can easily just tell men to fuck off. It's purely our choice to put our bodies through hell in the name of creating new life. Just saying. Having a baby is no easy task. While I haven't had one, I've certainly been told that it can be traumatising. The birth is the worst pain you'll ever feel without being in a freak accident. The fact that there's every chance there could be a miscarriage (which is a million times worse for a woman than a man, because our bodies have been nurturing this tiny being just to have it die inside us)...

Caveman days, the guys wanted sex and enjoyed it. For women it was having sex and then having a baby. They may have enjoyed it at the time but 9 months and hours of pushing to bring a baby into the world is no small feat.

If we wanted to, I don't doubt that women could end the human race. These days, we can have all the sex we like and never produce a child.

EDIT: you guys technically only need to be there for an hour, for the actual sex. After that, the life thing is purely up to us.

 

[WorkerMurphey]

Any physical contest in which the participants are not measured to be equal is if not "bad" at least frowned upon. Boxing and MMA fights have weight classes to help create a level playing field. A healthy grown man isn't supposed to hit children, the disabled, the elderly, women, someone sleeping, or even a guy with glasses. Pick on someone your size or you're a bully and probably going to be jailed.

What does that have to do with my point? You said that women are the reason the human race exists as it does. You seem to be forgetting that women and men play an equal part in creating human life and continuing our race. Males could end the human race the same as females can, you know.

TVTropes has something to say on this trend.

[Dango]

but abuse against women is something I can't stand.

My thoughts exactly.

For me, it's just because girls tend to be weaker, but if one is in fact kicking your ass then it's fine to go ahead and hit her, but otherwise, it's just intolerable. Why would you want to hit them anyway when they can be so cute?

Guys probably enjoy sex far too much to decide to just give up on it. We enjoy it too but if we decide we don't want to spend 9 months with a massive belly, essentially baking a tiny human, we don't have to. Every form of contraception there is, is to prevent pregnancy. Some prevent STDs too but in general its to avoid pregnancy. The pill, condoms, abortions, etc. etc. are all ways for women to avoid getting pregnant. If a man gets a woman pregnant, he does only have to be there for maybe an hour for the actual sex... Whereas if the woman is compassionate and keeps the child that's at least 17 years of her life gone. 9 months carrying it before it's born then 16 years of paying vast amounts of money and spending lots of time caring for it, raising it to be a decent person, and even then she could have to look after it for a few years after that. 16 is just the age in the UK where the parents no longer have a responsibility over the child... men avoid those responsibilities a fair bit more often than women do. Divorces, for example. The children stay with the mother the majority of the time. 50% of marriages end in divorce, chances are there'll be kids involved there somewhere, and (this is a guesstimate) probably about 90% of the time, the kids stay with the mother.

 

[Gawspel]

Personally, I see nothing wrong with hitting a girl if she hits me first. Having a vagina does not give you free reign to cause harm to others.

 

[Jack_Uzi]

Hitting someone is just to show you aren't capable enough to deal with the situation in words. If I would ever be hit by a woman, I hope my reflexes are fast enough to get her wrist and not let it go until my ranting is over. That and I will have more esteem for the shit I could step in than her after that.
Women should never ever think they can get away with that crap.

 

[Assassin Xaero]

Same reason why things can only be sexists if it is said about a girl and only really racist if it is said about a black person. There is no such thing as sexist or racist remarks if you are a white guy...

 

[Superhyperactiveman]

It just is. You don't need to justify it. It's just one of those things you don't do. You don't disrespect your parents. You don't have sex with small children. You don't hit women. You don't need a reason for it. You just don't.

 

[WolfThomas]

You know I don't like anyone of any sex hitting me or someone else. So I'm going looked down on both males and females who try. However I guess if a drunken female attacked me I'd just try to hold so she couldn't do anything, but a male I'd (try to at least) beat the crap out of, but in either situation I would have tried to GTFO of there first.

 

[Frankster]

I'm staying out of this but just wanted to comment on that tidbit about divorce:
The kids don't always stay with the mother because the father doesn't want them, but because the judge almost always gives custody to the mother who is seen as the main parent of the 2.
Even if the father is willing and able to be the main custodian, it rarely goes his way in the courts.

Not saying this is wrong, just taking offence at the notion that fathers care less because the kids didnt spend time in his belly xP

 

[AugustFall]

Usually stronger? What about those of us who aren't stronger? Those of us with weak and flabby arms who can barely bruise a peach?

Then don't pick fights if you're a wimp, no matter what the sex. Other than if you are attacked there is no reason to hit a woman, or man tbh.
Violence in general solves nothing. Not that I practice 100% what I preach but no one's perfect.
