Women have been fighting for equality right?

Question

Well here's the equality that my boys and girls will learn.

If a girl doesn't wanna be hit, then she should never hit a man because if she hits a man the man will hit back. Same goes for the boys, if women want equality, then they shouldn't feel like it's ok to hit a man and the man not do anything.

Answer 1

Wow, there's a lot of serious, well thought out, socially acceptable answers here. How about this for an idea? Tell your boys to carry a newspaper with them at all times, and if a girl hits them, they can slap her on the nose with it. It works with dogs, and to be honest, you give the impression that you view women in the same category. I do not view men and women as equals. I view women as goddesses (a.k.a. sex objects for all the feminists in the crowd), and I guess it works, because I've never hit a woman in my life, and I've never had a woman even try to hit me (unless you count spankings, but that has nothing to do with violence). I raised my son to slap a girl if she ever tried to hit him, and my daughters to expect to get slapped if they ever hit a man. My grandparents raised my parents that way, and my parents raised me that way. That philosophy has worked in our society for a good many years, so since it isn’t broke, don’t try to fix it

Answer 2

Honestly, I have to agree. If a woman hits a man, or a girl hits a boy, the boy should strike back. I don't think this is cowardly at all...It's just self defense. If a woman ever hits me, I would punch her right in her nose...So far this has never happened, but the woman or man who puts their hands on me will learn a serious lesson.

By the way...the person who gave me the thumbs down is a sexist butthead. Defending yourself is your natural right as a human being...be it from a snake, a bee, a wolf, a man, a robot, or a woman!

Answer 3

It goes both ways, don't hit if you don't want to be hit. But just because you're hit doesn't mean you have to hit back. Men (generally) have more power behind their punches. I don't believe men should hit women, but at the same time a woman shouldn't think she can get away with it herself just because she is a woman.
But then again you are speaking of equality. I don't remember women fighting for the right to vote and then fighting for the right to be able to hit whoever they feel like hitting. Rights have nothing to do with assault....nobody has the right to assault someone else...unless protecting themselves of course.

Answer 4

Totally agree, "alpha male"...I'm a feminist and my children will learn the same thing. Feminists are not "fighting" for the right to hit men with no repercussions, believe me, you'll never find "We should be able to hit men and they can do nothing about it" in any "Feminist Manifesto" or penciled into our "agendas" (LOL). What you are talking about is a cultural bias, left over from BEFORE the Feminist Movement. Most women who hit men ARE NOT feminists, because they are taking advantage of a cultural bias that suggests women are the weaker sex, and feminists would not do that, (if for no other reason than because it sets the movement back decades). Anyway, yes girls (and women) should not feel like it's okay to hit men. Teach your girls that this is disgraceful, and wrong (just as wrong as it is for a man to hit a woman), and you'll be helping our cause immensely.
And BTW, are you also going to teach your daughter that "men" will only ever be "nice" to her because they want to get into her pants? Because that's how you answered another question. So maybe while you're teaching your daughter to not hit men, you should throw in there something about defending herself against predatory ***-holes like yourself...I'm sure you would never want her to fall prey to men like you, right?
And Fishman, what proof do you have that feminists believe what you are suggesting? Can you cite sources, or quote a feminist who's said this? I don't think that you can. It's very telling when people prescribe certain ideas to an entire movement they know nothing about.
OOH, look who's gotten all huffy!! Ya know Fishman, you are wrong, entirely wrong...have you ever read ANYTHING written by a feminist? I'm sure you haven't, so how can you speak about something you haven't even tried to educate yourself on? You call me blind, but you are only showing your own ignorance. Feminists ARE NOT trying assert their superiority, you believe this because YOU think you are superior to women, and can only imagine that others must have similar motives. You are the blind one, blinded by your own prejudices, and I can't believe some of the things you wrote trying to "prove" your case. You only demonstrated your own biases.

Answer 5

I wholeheartedly agree with you, although not necessarily in spirit. I think that the whole creepy paternal attitude that many men seem to feel towards women will vanish if women start projecting themselves as both mentally and physically strong. On average, men are stronger than women, and it's not good to hit someone smaller/weaker; however, for a large part, women are socialized into weakness/meekness.. When that ends - we'll have equal opportunities in the military and government - and the whole social dichotomy of male/strong, female/weak will weaken quite a bit.

And .. if you're against the weakening of that dichotomy ..... then not only are you moronic, but it's also very ironic that you think the way you do about this issue... :)

Answer 6

I agree with you, but the women who believe in equal rights and punch a guy, should be ready. They give bad name to all women. Although, women still don't have the same exact rights as men. Men make more money than women in some jobs, many law suites.

Answer 7

I think when ever it is reasonably possible and if no harm or serous harm is being done by the woman to a man , restraint is the best option .

Physical violence against anyone should not be encouraged .I do think that most men have a built safey mechnism to prevent violent impulses from manifesting towards women .I belive that is good mechnism to have that safety switch .

I only wish women had that saftey switch as well

Now if a woman inflicted serous harm to you or was about to you need to defend yourself .

Things that would warrant seeing a woman as threat would be if she did these things to me without a valid self defence reason.
Being Kicked in the balls . Being eye gouged ,Being throat ,nose or kidney punched or a woman weilding a weapon such as knife , or a baseball bat .

If a woman were to slap me my safety mechnism would engage
Its not right for her to slap me but for the most part im stronger and heavier and capable of doing more harm if it came down to it .Thats why we should show restraint .

There is smoke in the distance every where you see in all times of media that it is acceptable and encouraged for women to hurt men .I see your frustration but violence is not the answer.

Hope that helps

PS the alpha male in nature such as an elk hangs back so that wolves have to contend with him while the females get a way .

Answer 8

Before I respond, I would just like to ask something: In your picture, is that an anti-woman sign on the podium?!
Now my response: What kind of equality is that when women and men think it's ok to hit someone? That's not equality; that's just violent. And who says women think it's ok to hit men thinking they won't hit back? That's RIDICULOUS.

Answer 9

I think it's wrong to hit anyone; male or female, unless it is in self-defence.

There is a double standard in society, where men hitting women is forbidden(regardless of the circumstance), yet women slapping men is widely accepted(and regually seen in television shows).

Answer 10

I agree with you 100%. If you hit someone, be expected to receive it right back-man or woman.
