Jonny8888 seems to have a very bizarre idea on the concept of equality.
But yeah a lot of these equa rights women want things both ways but ive actually heard women say they find it an outrage that they would not be hit for something a man would be hit for doing.
For the record No I would neer hit a women unless in severe self defence
recently realised its futile and now go for a girl trying to attack me like a guy, theyre all people, and if they get hurt, they shouldnt have started trying to attack me
equal oppurtunities
This forum is hardly representative of society though, is it?
If i went to a pub tonight & bashed a skinhead with a Stone Island top for bumping into me, who's going to start moralising? Certainly no-one i know. If I was to slap a woman for the same thing, there'd be rightful outrage.
A woman shouldn't hit a man either unless it's in self defense.
Probably because a woman wouldn't pose as much of a threat as a man would.
Not that I ever would but you understand the point.
should a man hit a women in self defense?
born slippy...you're a top guy :thumb: :rolleyes: :yeees:
Snap.
You watch a film; a man hits a women, she falls on the bed. You see a perfume advertisement; the man has tree-trunk arms and the women is a twig. Through traditional views, popular morals and media - to name a few, men retalliating to the women who hit them are rendered 'lesser' than the rest, and men are portrayed as big-and-strong while women are portrayed as petite-and-fragile. As we drove for gender-equality, especially in the last 40 or so years, the topic became more controversial, more taboo and more delicate.
More often than not I hear "I would never" hit a women" from leftist equality-obsessed mindless students with the tone and implication that to hit a women is a greater crime than original sin. The other day I saw a group of 'yoofs' standing in a tight area. A guy with a rucksack walked past and lightly barged one of the birds, to which she responded by walking after him and hitting him. I asked myself first if she would have done that had she been alone, and second what would she have done if the guy chose a more, in my opinion, suitable action than to carry on walking. I don't know; say, headbutting her?* The point is for women to adhere to this idea of "I can hit a man, for they wouldn't dare hit me back" is not only obtuse but dangerous.
The idea that people regard a women hitting a women, or a man hitting a man or even a women hitting a man, in the same way that we collectively regard a man hitting a women, is false. There's also the reality that in many cases a man can 'act in self-defense' if a women were to hit him, whereas a women wouldn't be able to (or wouldn't feel obliged to) if the situation was vice-versa.
I'll continue in a short while, something's come up ;x
* Read between the lines. Don't take everything so seriously.
What point, Mr Troll?
That you think you're clever being "controversial"?
no cause if someone found out itd be "im a woman beater hit me sign on my head"
and i know loads of girls who instantly go for the testicles strangely, and if they done that to to me id fucking knock em out.... no way i wouldnt, or id go for the breasts or kidneys or dead leg spot so they cant walk for 10 minutes
Too many ? What is your preferred number then?

i don't necessarily think you should hit anyone in self defense, using force to restrain someone yes by all means, of course thats morally, i've been involved in many fights, i've hurt people badly, i've been hurt badly, i have no quams with a good ole punch up sometimes, if there's a good reason to stand on someone's head of course.
I think hitting girls is wrong and would avoid it at all possible costs but to be honest if I feel like I'm in serious danger . . . if I'm really scared for myself . . .then yeah I can't pretend I wouldn't fight back.
Although I'd probably feel ashamed of myself after - strange how old fashioned ideals can ingrain themselves so strongly on you
I thought that was fair.
There's always going to be situtations where violence is necessary.
yup, if someones using violence against you, theres only so much you can do thats non violent back to stop them
See its strange - if another fella was getting a kick in then I'd think it was fair but as it was a girl I can't help but think he should of just held her back or something. Then again I can't absolutley swear I wouldn't have done the same thing if I was in your mates position.
I don't know just one of those things thats drilled in to you by your mum from an early age - 'don't hit girls!'
Try keeping it a verbal fight when the person your arguing with has had 10 pints and want's to kick your head in. Fists win every time.
Meanwhile, in the real world...
Violence, imho, is only morally wrong if a) used without provocation, and b) against somebody far weaker than yourself.
Violence usually works when you're growing up in particular.
Rubbish.
