Strong people have the ability to do serious damage to people who aren't as strong using the superior force is wrong. Adults beating children, younger people beating the elderly, able bodied men beating women, women beating men who aren't able bodied are all wrong. Any person harming another is wrong even if they are equals but using unequal force is more wrong.
My cousin has hemophilia and could bled to death or be crippled more from physical force, his wife is much stronger and healthier. She beat on him until he had to be hospitalized that is as unforgivable as a man beating his wife or child or parent.

I did not know that having a small penis had anything to do with sexuality. I thought that it was just an anatomical feature. If he has a small one, he would rather have a large one. I thought that that was the extent of it. Personally I find it childish to explain male insecurities by suggesting that he has a napoleonic penis. But I can't control other people's behavior. If he is not gay, she is not attacking his sexuality. If he is gay, then yes, she is attacking his sexuality if she is saying something negative about it. If he can't get women, this is a problem. It is a convenient explanation about why a man would be on Gender Studies, spewing hatred for women. Men who are loved and wanted by women, don't tend to do that. That is the best I can do.

Personally, I feel that hitting women is wrong. If a woman is trying to hit me, my first reaction will be to just block or dodge her blows until she gives up.

But if a woman keeps going and won't give up... if she wants to fight me like a man, then I'm going to fight her like she's a man.

PS: and to all the ignorant people that say things like "Men hit women all the time, and women barely hit men", to all of you, stop talking out of your asses.

They have done studies in this country that have proven that the amount of women that beat on men, is just about equal to the amount of men that hit women. The reason everyone thinks that more men are hitting women, is because the majority of men that are being beaten by their girlfriend or wife don't report anything out of fear of ridicule.

how come so many people here keep saying that women get beated everyday? even when the questioner acknowledged that already? I think that it's because it's a lot more common for a man to hit a woman...

I'm of the same opinion as blue_star that women can be as abusive as men. But until men finally realise that adherence to macho-ism works more to their disadvantage than otherwise and that women are not really damsels in distress who need protection from them to survive they could never report women inflicted physical violence without being laughed at. The truth of the matter is it is society that framed women as the weaker sex and men benefited from this for ages so much so that women began to think that they are what the society want them to be. However, as in all tales of dark ages there would always come a period of enlightenment where the underdogs finally realised how to take advantage of their position. Boomerang!

Not one living thing should be beaten.Not verbally,physically or otherwise.Loss of control is unacceptable by either gender.If it gets that far someone needs to rethink what the direct cause of the broken spirit to inflict pain on another has manifested from and deal with the direct care of the soul.Immediately ,post haste before it escalates.

why is this question asked 6 million times a week?

its because our society is sexist. we still believe that men are the stronger sex and women are the weaker sex. therefore if a man gets beat up by a woman, he must be weak, but if he defends himself and therefore hurts someone who is supposedly "weaker" then he is a bully. this is of course a load of bull crap. Women are just as capable of being violent as men, and men are just as capable of haveing no interest in violence as women. its because we are human beings first and our respective genders second. It is this kind of assumption about genders that feminists are trying to remove from our social realities. if we manage this, we may finally get to a point where it is not socially okay for a woman to hit a man.

I agree with you, it happens everywhere. My school for example a boy got wacked HARD in the nuts by a girl and everyone laughed and the teacher turned her head as if she didn't see anything. In the media, the news focuses on men's crimes and what they do wrong. Shows like Jackass, Dirty Sanchez, Wildboyz, viva La Bam. One of the episodes of jackass had johnny knoxville kicking kicked in the nuts by 8 year old girls. I cannot believe people can't understand what you're trying to say. And i don't want to think about what this world is coming to...

I will never hit a woman,and quite frankly I'm not sure I want to meet the man who can be beaten up by his woman,unless she is heavily armed. Sorry but I just consider that embarassing,so I guess I would be one of the people making fun of him. I mean seriously,even if he chooses not to hit her,you mean he couldn't subdue her? Sorry but that sounds like a pansy to me.

Do you watch the news? Just because it's not socially acceptable for a man to hit a woman doesn't mean it doesn't happen countless times every single day.
I'd be more concerned to finding real ways to reduce the seriously out of control incidence of violence against women before I start losing too much sleep over some guy getting his feelings hurt because he was made fun of by another guy.
I'm sure the millions of women being injured or killed would rather handle being made fun of rather than suffer the agonies they do.
Sorry for the bluntness but my compassion is tapped out at the moment for this type of random querry.
