Mel Gibson-Thoughts?

Clearly he knows what women want.

Growing up, my dad would always tell my brother and I, “You put a woman on a pedestal and treat her like a princess - never raise your voice or your hand to her. But the minute she takes herself off that pedestal and raises her voice or her hand to you, you treat her just like you’d treat a man. Knock her on her fucking ass.” So I grew up expecting that as long as I behaved like a woman, I’d get treated like one. If I behaved like a man (trash talking, getting in someone’s face, raising my hand to them) then I should expect to get treated like a man.

If I wasn’t in a relationship…

Fucking evil lunatic. I wonder if his psychotic breakdown really is a recent thing or he just masked it well over his carerr.

I don’t really care if she did set him up and pushed his buttons (no evidence she did) that man is psycho. If she did set him up or push his buttons to get it on tape to get evidence of his rage then she did the right thing.

Besides, it wasn’t just one phone call.

The man is a loser.

Did you read the article? It says that the ex-wife may not be making statements supportive of Mel altruistically as it would put her in a bad light and him being in prison, or even just the appearance of such rage may impact her household fiscally.

It did not in anyway allude to the tapes being edited.

While I agree with the first point, there are circumstances that - although 99% of men won’t be in - would need some form of attack to protect yourself from a woman.

What if she was legitimately beating the crap out of you with a bat or something, trying to kill you?[/quote]

If you can’t wrestle a bat from a woman, unless she unexpectadly attacks you, without cracking her in the mouth you really need to evaluate your fighting abilities.

BULLSHIT. I have had a woman pull a knife on me. In my attempt to NOT harm her in anyway, she was getting some pretty good jabs in. While I may be all for peace and against harming other people, sometimes it S necessary because I don’t know what planet some of you are living where women are helpless weak individuals that you can ALWAYS subdue.

It sounds like some of you haven’t had much life experience with truly crazy women.[/quote]

We weren’t talking about a knife, we were talking about a bat. A knife you can cut someone with like you said “little jabs” a bat requires more momentum and and strength to do damage. A 240 lb woman wouldn’t stand a fkn chance against me unless she’s had some sort of combat training. You bring up how this woman had training, but as I said if its layla ali or a trained fighter thats a different story. A 240lb woman doesn’t have the mobility or speed to “crush” me. But if a 240lb woman scares you to the point that she scares you the same way a man would then I guess that’s on you.

Don’t come with the sob story of woman being equal to men. They’re not fkn equal and everyone damn well knows it. The only way everyone could be treated 100% equal is if we were all the same, but were not. Biologically and physically we are different. I’m sick of men crying about women being equal and treating them equal. You know damn well you don’t view them as being equal X so why front. If a woman on this site posts showing 17" arms and benching 300lbs after 6yrs of training you wouldn’t give her the same shit as you would a man who had the same stats and had been training for 6 years. Why? Because physically emotionally and chemically we are different!! Nobody on this site should come touting women are equal bullshit until you truly see them as complete equals, and if someone here truly does not see a difference between a male and a female then you are a fkn idiot.

Were not the same, well never be equal and even those who say they want equal woman rights don’t want to be TRULY equal. Like I tell my girl, if she wants to be completely equal then when there is a strange noise downstairs we take turns checking it out and confronting the intruders. And when are child is hungry we take turns breast feeding him and if we have children we take turns giving birth. If those things can’t happen then we must not really be fkn equal.

Where I’m from, the only people I hear bitching about equal rights for women, are women. And when they’re given equal rights, they bitch about that too. It’s a vicious cycle.

Yes, women and men are not equal in every aspect. But I think you’re misunderstanding; equality is one thing, but treating women as weak and defenseless humans that are unable to defend themselves or inflict serious damage to gasp men, is just stupid. That’s why they fucking get away with so much in society today - they play the weaker sex card and can literally get away with murder.

Knife, bat, fists - whatever. That was just an example, and I assure you that just because women are the weaker sex, doesn’t mean they’re weak.

I’m not hating, I’m just saying.

Or seem what a knive or a bat can do to a human body.

A baseball bat swung by a woman can smash concrete.

[/quote]

I went out with a woman who was a black belt before…and a little crazy. I would LOVE to see how fucking easily some of these guys would subdue her.

The notion that women need to be treated differently is a part of the problem with society. This is why a woman can cry rape and even if she is lying, the only way anyone will believe the guy is if he has video of the non-crime.

That shit needs to stop.

Women are NOT helpless. Some may be weak but there are just as many who weigh over 240lbs who will fucking crush some of the guys on this forum if they wanted to…and the cops would likely not do shit unless the guy’s life is on the line.

The day women receive the exact same social treatment for the exact same acts is when we will have gender equality…which means if they hit you first, a man should not be the one going to jail for defending himself.[/quote]

Maybe so.
But looking at Mel “Lunatic” Gibson’s situation- his woman was holding a her child when “victim” Gibson knocked her teeth out. Argue all you want the social problems yadda yadda, it doesn’t diminish that the guy is an out of control d-bag.

I’m a little tired of the “male victim” sympathizers in these threads lately. Such harsh repercussions against women for such things as her deleting his virtual characters, to constant posts like “have you tried hitting her?”

Some of you sound like you got harshly dicked over by women in your past (physical or emotional) and you’re letting your scars show. Grow up. I don’t know if your father figures displayed such attitudes and actions against the beloved women in your lives, but the way I was raised was that you don’t hit women. This proud liberal learned that from a very conservative dad.

I may not be the biggest motherfucker here (probably one of the smallest), but dammit I’m big enough to know better.

[/quote]

I totally see why some of you are claiming that the world isn’t right because women aren’t treated the same as men. I hate to poo down your parade, but life is just unfair. There are several things that women could claim are “unfair” that men get better treatment on. I don’t even want to start a “list”, because it’ll turn ugly very quickly. Let’s just say both genders have ways that they are treated “better” in different areas.

Having said that, no one should EVER hit anyone! Having said that again, TYPICALLY men are stronger than women and therefore a man hitting a woman knows he will “win”. I don’t know of a single female that will step into a fight with a man and really throw him a good punch, not knowing that if she gets thrown one back…it’s going to hurt a lot more. Any grown adult hitting a child is wrong, we can all agree to that (I’m not talking about spanking or repremanding a child, I mean hitting a child for undue cause). Any man hitting a woman is just wrong and is should never ever ever happen. No woman deserves that. Any man should never hit another man, either! Nor should a woman hit a man!

Anyways, enough of my opinion on equality. I work in a man’s industry and deal with men A LOT (literally the only females I do work with are HR or accounting, which I am not in), so as a female, I do have some opinions/experience on the matter :slight_smile: On Mel Gibson - he’s a piece of donkey shit. No one should ever use the threat of hitting someone as ammunition in a fight, even if only verbal at the time. I’m sure his girlfriend isn’t the perfect angel she comes across to be in the tapes, but I certainly don’t think she (or anyone) deserves that treatment no matter the circumstance.

On a side note, I did enjoy his movies. I never did see that ape-before world-running around naked movie…I forgot the name.

I’m just saying… If a girl hit a girl I loved (Mommadukes, GF, wife, etc.) I would have no problem laying her out. Other than that.

Hittin da womens is bad.

WWJD, Mel Gibson, WWJD?

See now you are throwing words into my mouth. I did not say women are weak or defenseless, I’m saying they are weaker then men and are at a huge disadvantage in hand to hand combat and as such it is a mans responsibility to recognize this disadvantage that women have and not treat them as equals in any aspect of combat or any other physical endeavor.

As a boxer I’ve known many women boxers who despite being really good fighters would never bare fist fight even an untrained man. Reason being is despite years of training a man possesses the strength that could literally kill a woman with one punch. When a woman can literally train for years in combat and still be at a disadvantage when fighting an untrained male then there is a HUGE disparity between the fighting ability of a man and woman.

Having said that women CAN hurt men and any woman who attacks a man should be prosecuted like a man, but just because I don’t think the law should treat women differently doesn’t mean I don’t think you as a man should treat them the same as well.

The law also shouldn’t treat the elderly any different and prosecute them as well if they attack someone, but just because the law should prosecute them doesn’t mean if a 90 yr old woman punches you its okay to knock her ass out. As the stronger and more physically capable species we have a responsibility to protect those weaker than us.

Life isn’t fair, get the fuk over it. So long as we have notcieable physical differences there will be bias and prejudice. That’s the way the human mind and our culture is, no point in bitching about it. There’s cultures that treat woman like 3rd class citizens and can damn near beat them to death in public without reprimand.

So forgive me if I’m not crying men a river if for once women have a slight advantage in our culture. Congrats to them for overcoming decades of mistreatment and coming out on top. I for one am not worried about it, I’m a man and despite having a disadvantage in some aspects I also have advantages in other aspects. Ill use my advantages as best I can to get what I want in life and expect women to do the same.

Sorry if there are spelling or grammar errors. I wrote this really fast and posting from my phone.

I have had a GF who was drunk and crazy go nuts and hit and punch me. I didn’t hit her back, but I did raise my voice and cuss at her.

Anyway I am not defending Mel, so what I am about to say is something of a digression.
He’s obviously a douche nozzle and he doesn’t deserve that lady.

BUT I still just don’t believe that shouting at a woman = abuse orr that raising your voice in a argument means your crazy.

People raise their voices when they get emotional. It’s natural. We yell and scream on the battle field, holler out on a hard lift in the gym, on a roller coaster, at a football game, car accident…

But if you catch your wife cheating on you or your girlfriend pours a glass of Jack daniel’s on your PS3 what are you supposed to do? Whisper “it’s all good”?
What are you suposed to do? Choke your feelings down and call a fucking lawyer? If a woman does soemthing outrageously crappy, and you respond with a loud voice, then THIS is suposed to mean your a bad guy and a woman abuser? Please

Why do you people care so much for some multi millionaire-celebrity’s relationship stuff?

I wish people would debate that ardently about important stuff, eg the OIL SPILL.

Why do other people care about what we debate about?? Almost every thready there is someone saying this thread is pointless or how stupid members are for talking about the subject at hand. Were discussing the topic at hand, if you don’t like the topic why read the posts?

I didn’t say why o why!, as it’s pretty clear why, I want to know “why … so much”.

I have my theories, but I’d like to know firsthand (eg: “my life is boring”, “I cannot bear to dicuss abstract stuff”, “I argue only about celeb-drama because the media spoon fed me this way”…) .

So indulge me, please.

Also, you, my friend, are completely clueless about violence and women:
Men fight under very, very specific rules, even if they don’t seem to; woman, if they do choose to fight, forego these. They go straight for the balls. And then, in the post fight situation, they still play dirty (lie to the judge etc).

Ask bouncers and police officers about that.
Most man could break their bones easily, but that’s completely off the point [since Intra species fighting is not about killing].

Really though, if all you see in this thread is titillating gossip about a celebrity then you are an idiot.
