IS THERE SOMETHING HEAVY TO LIFT? LET HER LIFT IT. SHE’S EQUAL.

CAN’T GET INTO THAT PARALLEL PARKING SPACE? LOL. LET HER TRY UNTIL SHE FIGURES IT OUT.

I could go on FOREVER. I say if they’re “equal”, let’s all act appropriately. The damn world is upside down over this damn equality crap. We now give trophies just for being on the team - you don’t even have to win anymore. We promote women and minorities regardless of performance, just for the sake of promoting women and minorities. We are NOT equal. We are all individuals with unique talents and frailties. There is a difference between being “equal” and being afforded “equal rights”. The latter has been corrupted beyond recognition.

Now, back to OP. Should we hit women? The answer obviously to most is highly situational. Fair enough. But let’s put on our “equality” goggles. No matter what the sex, I feel you should not use violence against any weaker individual, male or female, unless necessary to protect persons or property, and then, the force employed should only be enough to extinguish or thwart the threat, following a legal standard of continuum of force. That means if my crazy ass girlfriend (hypothetical) slaps me, it does not give me license to punch her in the face. If she raises up to strike me again, I can and should restrain her if escape is not a reasonable option. If she’s coming at you with a knife, she’s fair game for whatever means you must use to extinguish the threat. This isn’t rocket science.

Now in real life, in spite of what I wrote above (the equality shit pisses me off to no end b/c most of those waiving the equality flag want it both ways), I’m quite a chivalrous guy. I don’t care if it’s male or female however, if you commit violence without good cause, or commit more violence than necessary to defend, against a weaker person, you’re a god damn phucking punk and a POS coward that should have been aborted prior to birth. The world is a phucked up place b/c of people who would do harm to the weak, instead of looking out for those weaker than you - and everyone, everywhere, is strong or weak in one manner or another.

hmmm, I agree with this. Probably because I have mad parking skills and roadside assistance.

What the hell does “being equal” mean?

This implies the assumption that all men (and here I mean the gender) are equal. Guess what, we are not. Nor are all of our experiences the same. We do not have the same access to jobs, opportunities for education, the same skills and abilities, as all other men.

Who are women wanting to be “equal” to and how is this defined?

Let me give an example. Sitting in a fancy NE private college I was listening to the female professor and two female students discuss in class how the night is gendered against women because women are prey to men in the dark. There was all sorts of academic articles supporting this.

So I asked them “How often do you see guys walking alone at night?”
Them “Occasionally”
Me “Okay, how many guys do you see that aren’t big?”
Them “Rarely”
Me “Okay, so you usually see guys in groups at night?”
Them “Yes”
Me “That’s because we know we might get jumped. This is something often learned before high school. Guys move in groups to protect themselves. So explain to me how the night is gendered?”
One female student “Most violence against women is done by men!”
Me “Sure. And the most common victim of male violence is other men.”

Followed by silence.

Professor “We should rethink some of the base assumption of these authors.”

[/quote]

not a good example. Women are also the most common victim of violence by other men and their damage is more significant and it happens more often, including where they should be safest, in their homes.

man I wish I had been in your class.

[/quote]

My point is that one way equality was being measured was freedom to walk alone at night. Not every guy has that freedom (or feels they have it).

Its either men or women as the most common victim, cannot be both. Also, most I have read is that wives abusing husbands is way under reported because of the social stigma attached to it. The term hen-pecked usually implies a level of emotional and continual verbal abuse. Though usually treated as the man’s fault.[/quote]

Men are the most common victims of both verbal and physical domestic violence but they often don’t report it. The biggest problem in my opinion is that if an officer does come to handle the situation and a man was slapped by a woman then he hit her in return that man most likely wont show signs of physical contact and the woman will. The officer has to use those bruises, cuts, or red marks to make his decision and will side with a person who’s those signs of abuse.

[/quote]

SO if it is under reported how do you know it actually happens? Something personal you want to share? [/quote]

I don’t know if I can go that far, it’s painful to talk about. She expected me to have the house spotless and give up my body to her whenever she wanted it.

I’m only kidding. There have been studies on it, what I’m posting in this thread are just the findings of said studies.
[/quote]

Im fucking with you, but again how do you study something that is under reported. I can say I am studying about the anal raping of african american midgets by ginger women wearing stap-ons. Does that make it a valid study? [/quote]

By speaking to the parties involved or just asking individuals in general. If I asked you “has your spouse every assaulted you?” to which you replied “Yes!, I didn’t report it though.” and multiple men were to have the same response it’d be safe to assume that men simply let the assault go unreported.
[/quote]

So the assumption is a guy will not report to police out of fear of looking like a pussy, but will report to some random phone call stating they are doing a study? [/quote]

If that’s the case then any study which gains information in the same manner lacks credibility and isn’t accurate. I wouldn’t call it much of an assumption either, it’s an anonymous interview where a sample group of people are asked questions related to the study. There’s not much to lose by telling some random person who wont disclose your information something that to some degree remains confidential.

But that isn’t the point.

Who do you think is more likely to be attacked while walking alone at night?

If it is under-reported every statistic is a guess. Not saying it doesn’t happen, but I sure hope you aren’t suggesting it is at the level it is for women. Women are hen-pecked also by emotional and mental abuse.

Rape is under reported also.
[/quote]

My point was/is anyone is a possible victim walking alone at night. My example was directed at the attitude that women should be able to walk alone at night and it would be a sign of equality. It is a false understanding of the experience(s) of men that all men can walk safely alone at night.

I live near a college campus. It is not at all unusual to see a lone female or a pair walking after dark than I see single guys or even pairs of guys. Talking to other guys in the past about this, they agreed the group mentality is a source of protection. So if you have one gender being taught to move in groups at night and another gender being taught that they should be able to walk alone at night, there is a real problem. I think is part of the feminist movement that says women should be able to do anything that men do. I think there is a real cultural and gendered disservice being done blamed largely on flawed assumptions about the lives of men. (Look at the reaction nationally to the starting or mentioning of Men’s Studies course on campuses).

All violence is probably under reported. The cultural standard of women as weaker (or victim) needs a truer reporting of violence towards women without a coinciding increase in a more accurate reporting of violence towards males.

I am not challenging what you know and have experienced about the life and lives of women. I am challenging the notion that all men’s lives are the same.

Thank you sir that was my point. These studies are worthless and are used by the media to hype things when and if they need it.

I had a chick in a club want to hook up with me i said “no maybe if you sober up”. She pushed me so i started walking away, little did i know she had grabbed a glass ash tray. A bouncer grabbed me and pulled me out the way while another bouncer floored her.

All i can say is chicks are crazy and never turn your back.

Also at a pub i went to a guy was tuning this girl, a guy accidentally bumped into the girl and she mouthed off and tried to get this guy to fight him. So the guy got one of his chick friends to hit her and throw her out, then the two guys had a beer together.

Chicks instigate shit worse than guys, they arent pretty lil girlies, guys need to wake up

I haven’t read the whole thread yet, but I would have to say most educated people, in general, are better to deal with. Anyone can be a pompous ass, of course, but the really ignorant ones just make you pray they are/get sterilized and haven’t procreated yet.

I also know some blacks consider education or bettering themselves as trying to “be white” so they refuse to do that. They’d rather be poor and ignorant than educated with a good paying job. That’s why stereotypes still exist.

I also agree on the behavior of black women. I worked in a hotel in downtown Chicago and some of the worst guests we had were black women, the most demanding, the most likely to cause a scene. Even the men they were with were like “calm down, honey”. At a previous hotel I worked at I was called a racist by a black female guest because I was on the floor putting away supplies and couldn’t see her standing at the desk through the 3 foot wide column that was next to me. I guess I didn’t get the x-ray vision all the other white people did.

You know, I’ve kind of stopped caring. There are people who get offended if you call them “black people” or “blacks” or “African Americans” or “people of color”. We just can’t win. So I say what I’m comfortable with. Sometimes it’s one or any or all of the above. I’ve never called anyone the “N” word, unless it was said by a black person first. At my old hotel some of my coworkers would be like “She is such a N. She gives black people a bad name.” And I would agree.

I worked with one chick who was black, but from Panama and spoke Spanish, which is the native language in Panama. When the Hispanic housekeepers heard her speaking Spanish they would bombard her with questions: “How you know speak Spanish? Why you speak Spanish?” And she’d point to her name tag and be like “I’M FROM PANAMA.” They still didn’t like that she spoke Spanish so well, but they would leave her alone after that. They never did that to any of the white associates who spoke Spanish fluently. She also referred to whites as “your peoples.” She’d say to me, “Grneyes, I don’t understand your peoples. You’d never see a black person out running at 5am in mid-December in Chicago. Why do your peoples do that?” And I tell her that runners are a special sub-species of white human: homo sapien runnerus. Because you’d never see a white non-runner running at 5am in mid-December in any city anywhere. :slight_smile:

Wait wait wait, when/why did this topic become racial?

I thought we all agreed that it’s ok to hit anyone in self defense.
