Would you hit a female if she did this?

Co-sign completely.

 

That doesn't even make sense, at all. If we should have equal opportunities in life, for instance, to be police officers, then we should be equal in combat.

No man has skills and abilities by nature of his gender that I do not have by nature of my gender. If he did, he would deserve greater opportunities than me in the areas that "male" skills and abilities are in. If you want to lower yourself, that's fine, but it's not reflected in the laws previous generations of women have fought for.

I love being a whole person, and not a pet or second class citizen.

 

Huh. Let's take, for example, boxing.....should we pit men against women in boxing? Or men against women in american football? Does that sound fair?

Sorry, we all have muscles, but it's a proven fact that men are stronger (in general) than women. And while I don't condone hitting of any gender at any time, men should NEVER hit a woman back or at all period. Men have much more strength than women, in general.

That being said, if a woman is physically abusing a man, then that man needs to get the hell out of dodge. Just like a woman should do if a man is physically abusing her.

Hitting back is NOT the answer.

 

There are little girls all over this country fighting for the right to play football on their school's team. It's interesting to learn about women who think these little girls don't deserve that right.

What does that have to do with anything? You could just as easily group people by continent, and say this group of people is generally bigger than that group of people, so no Black Man should ever hit and Asian Man.

So, in your opinion, Tina Turner was wrong for hitting Ike back. Cha.

 

Small men do not go around picking fights with large men.

Likewise, if you are a small woman who feels that men are stronger than you, then you should not go around hitting men.

The difference is not physical, it is mental. If you are as smart as any man, then you should be smart enough not to hit someone you cannot fight. Men are capable of this, are we so inferior?

 

Dumb men go around picking fights with whomever gets in their way. If they are in the mindset to pick a fight, they are trying to stroke their ego, and will fight a large man, so that they can say they beat him up. The smart men don't fight.

I don't go around hitting anyone: male or female.

Fighting isn't the answer. And I will respectfully disagree with you on everything you say right here.

Men don't size up their opponent before they throw a punch. Give me a break. If they're heading down that road of fighting someone, they aren't thinking clearly. They'll throw a punch regardless.

But, you are right with one thing, the difference is mental. Someone who thinks fighting is the answer is definitely mentally inferior to someone who knows how to win an argument without throwing a punch.

 

Figh fight fight. I want to see some memorial day fight. LOL

 

But clearly there are women who do, as evidenced in the OP.

The question isn't whether you like hitting people, the question is whether women who hit people deserve special treatment different from men who hit people.

 

I’m of the school that everyone keeps their hands to themselves, however if a dude hits me, he’s going to the ground, if a woman hits me she’s going to the ground. If a woman hits a man, her gender goes out the window and she is putting herself in a mans place and will get treated as such.

 

I'm okay with not being a true feminist.

And I'm of the opinion that Ike should never have raised a hand to Tina to begin with.

 

If a woman hits a man, and that man is not in any immediate danger of losing a limb and/or his life from said woman, then no, that man should NOT hit that woman back.

And if a man hits a woman and that woman is not in any immediate danger, then no, that woman should NOT hit that man back.

It's called being the bigger person and walking away. Period.

 

So a man hits a woman in the face, and she hits him back, they're both guilty of assault and both should be dealt with equally, in your opinion?

If your main point is just that no person should ever hit someone back, than I don't see where we disagree. I think that men and women who hit anyone should be dealt with equally. You seem to be saying the same thing, with the caveat that neither should be hitting anyone in the first place. I don't disagree with that (and indeed, gave an alternative: lawyers), so I don't see where you're going with this.

 

CBQ for president.

 

Love ya Bookie but CBQ's winning on points here.

 

Damn straight. Agreed.

 

Fighting is assault, no matter who threw the first punch or the 2nd punch or the 3rd punch, etc.

As for everything else, if a woman wants to go around hitting men so that men could hit her back so she can be considered "equal", more power to that idiotic woman.

My point is STILL the fact that if a man or woman hits another man or woman the answer to the hitting is to walk away. It's not about being treated equally in the workplace or getting equal pay for the same job. It's a matter of choosing not to hit back, unless your life is in immediate danger.

I'd rather be around people who walk away from fights than ones who jump right in....I don't care who is fighting whom. Fights are an idiotic means to settle disputes: be them men against men, women against women, or men against women.

There are always other options to throwing a punch - and it doesn't matter which punch you throw, walking away should always be your first choice, in my opinion.

 

I could care less. We're allowed to have differing opinions. I'm not fighting her, I'm stating my opinion and disagreeing with how she thinks a man or a woman should deal with being hit. That's all.

 

No, you're not.

 

Maybe you've never been in a fight before, I have, when someone punches you in the face it's not really as easy as walking away. When someone hits you they generally want to beat the shit out of you, not hit you once then walk away.

But yeah, women shouldn't hit a man unless they're prepared for the man to hit her back and he should not be treated any worse than a woman who hits a man.

If a man hits a woman he is ostracized from the community and treated badly, if a woman hits a man she gets a high five and a "you go girl!". It's bullshit.

Hitting someone is never right, but a man should not be punished more for hitting someone because he was born male. If I was a man and that woman punched me, she'd get a right hook to the jaw. Sorry, she would. She should have thought about that before raising her hand to me.

Hmmm, if a woman hits a man and he hits her back to defend himself I don't think he should be charged, she should. Of course, it never works that way though.
