Worse to hit a girl than to hit a boy.

[steve1234]

I was just thinking about this, and wanted to know what other people thought about this.

I think its wrong to hit anyone, and I have never hit someone before (but, I would certainly do it in self-defence, or if someone was hurting friends or family). It just seems to be much more worse for a boy to hit a girl, than a boy hitting a boy, or a girl hitting a boy.

Let me give some examples. There is one kid in my school, he is in trouble quite a lot, and is a bit of a dickhead. Well, he got into an arguement a few weeks ago which ended up with him punching the other guy, resulting in a split lip. He was suspended (sent home) for the day, then for the rest of the week had to go into isolation rather than lessons.
Then about a week ago, one guy I know (friends, but not really close friends) was upset by this girl (who was being a bit of a bitch). He is a very nice guy, and has never been in trouble before. Well, he used to be close friends with this girl, but last week in the common room (basically where we go for breaks) she made sure everyone heard about his disability, which he had kept secret. She was using words like 'retard'. He broke down in tears, and ended up punching her, which was very surprising. She ended up with a split lip as well. He got into big trouble for this, and was suspended for a 2 weeks, and the police had to come to the school.!

So, can't hitting a boy be treated the same as hitting a girl? I know there is the arguement about girls being weaker, but not all girls are 'weak', and i'm sure feminists would hate being called 'weak'.

Also, how come a lot of girls can get away with kicking boys in the balls? I see this happen a lot, and if the kick was hard enough, surely that would affect fertility?? I bet a bigger fuss would be made if a guy hit a girl in the breasts or genitals.

I just want to make it clear that I don't want guys to be 'allowed' to hit girls. I just think it should be equally wrong to hit anyone, no matter what gender they are.

you're right, girls get away with it too much.

it seemed like it's mostly the girls' fault, but he didn't have to punch her. also, she should've got some punishment too..

I agree, he definatly shouldn't have punched her. I think she was punished as well, like a telling off from the head master, but certainly wasn't punished as much as she should have been.

[ShatteredWings]

Same crime, same punishment.

Feminists need to pick a freaking side. You CAN'T have it both ways.

[huginnmuninn]

girls are looking for equal treatment so if a girl puches a guy she should be punished equally

[Insanity Fair]

I would've hit the bitch too.

[Amnesiac]

I would've hit the bitch too.

This!

If feminists really want an equal-gender society, which is a respectable effort, they need to accept the fact that equality isn't always pretty. Girls and women can't keep getting away with eroded punishments just because they're a different gender. Either we make the consequences the same (see what I did there?) by punishing women on the same level as men or we stop punishing men worse than women.

I'd not hit a girl.
Although I think girls are getting special treatment very often...
I often get hit by girls. Or kicked by girls, but then I just annoy them verbally instead.

There definitely is a double-standard in assault involving men and women. I think part of it is because since the Feminist Movement, women no longer have to ask an officer to arrest her husband/male abuser in domestic violence as it's one of the few crimes with a mandatory arrest in Canada. However another reason comes from society's views in that males are traditionally raised to be aggressive while women are traditionally raised to be submissive, so two aggressors fighting seems more appropriate than an aggressor fighting a submissive person. Males are often more physically stronger than females and police, armies, navies and such used to only accept males never females because males were better for combat. Although these traditional views are not always present today as more and more females are raised to be more aggressive with more roles in society, the traditional view still remains popular.

For me I do my best to not hit anyone even when I'm in a fight, I do my best to verbally try to simmer the issue down but if I have to fight, I defend myself while causing as minimal harm to the attacker. But if I do need, I will use more force as taught in the karate and self-defence (krav maga, knife-fighting, submission and joint-locking techniques) to bring the person down. For me, if someone is attacking and I cannot try to calm them down or they're using a weapon like a knife to harm myself, family, friend or someone innocent, I say "sorry this has to happen" and do the damage I need to do to get them to stop. I've had to do it before, pretty much only on males though and each time I had to, I apologize after despite acting in self-defense.

Feminists and other groups strive for equality in how each sex is treated but there's no equality in assault. Perhaps this is also why there's an incorrect perception that females do less assault and violence than males do. It seems though that the scale shifted from one extreme to the other: males could beat up females to males cannot beat up females yet females can always beat up males.

Perhaps though the perception that females do less violence, domestic abuse to men, killing, raping, etc... portrays males as being the aggressor and unfair to assault someone who isn't an aggressor.

Lulz, the bitch deserved it.

I'm not a super angry violent person my self, but if someone said something like that, I wouldn't hesitate to punch someone.

another reason comes from society's views in that males are traditionally raised to be aggressive while women are traditionally raised to be submissive, so two aggressors fighting seems more appropriate than an aggressor fighting a submissive person.

I definately think this is one of the biggies as to the idea of a guy vs. a girl.

I also believe there is a moral issue involved. I personally believe men should shjow more respect towards women seeing as how men are supposed to be gentlemen when it comes to the ladies. I don't like the idea of having to hit anyone, but to hit a girl I find very sordid. Perhaps this is because not only are girls in general are physically weaker, but they also are not used to more rough circumstances. Guys, however, are generally more used to this because of all the sports that they play. (I'm going on the universal idea of guys participating in sports more than girls). During any sport, you need quick reflexes and more physical strenmgth. It so happens that these are also requirements when fighting. Girls who don't participate in sports often are generally slower with reaction time, can't take as much damage, and are usually weaker.

[Continuum]

People notice us men way too much than women. Same goes for our wrong deeds.

In your example though, I'd hit the girl too because she's a bitch. I don't care if I become a bitch myself for doing it, as long as she gets the proper handling people like her deserve.

[Shortkid]

You are right that it is wrong to hit anybody, but it is especially wrong to hit someone weaker than yourself. Girls generally fall in this category, but not always.

[Death]

I'm still pondering about whether the notion suggested in the topic's tittle is discrimination against girls, boys, or both.

[Camazotz]

If I hit every "bitch" in my school, I'd probably be in a juvenile correction facility. Words are words and as mean as she was, he shouldn't have punched her, yadda yadda yadda. Anyway, punishment won't be the same since society portrays women as weak and defenseless. It's not necessarily true, but there's not much we can do about it.

[[[chickaroo92]]]

Doesn't matter if you're a bro or girl, a monkey or a horse. Hitting is hitting. And should be dealt with, equally. If a girl goes ahead and takes a punch, then she should not get away with it. Same goes for a boy.

[Amnesiac]

Words are words and as mean as she was, he shouldn't have punched her, yadda yadda yadda.

Is it possible that words can be so painful that they're equal to a punch? Or is verbal assault always weaker than physical assault?

[Babobobo]

Girls act like they're untouchable.

We're all of the same species and all have the same opportunity to gain self-defense.

[huginnmuninn]

words can cause emotional problems which can be worse than a phisical assault

[Church]

I think it is wrong to hit a girl because they tend to be the weaker sex, not always but tends to be that way.

[unknowntryhard]

Yea ur damn right,if some one started shit i would lay their ass out regardless if they were a boy or girl.i dont understand the discriminaion bewteen sexes.us as dudes have to be "GENTLEMEN" and kiss up to girls.y dont chicks have to do shit for us y cant they be "GENTLEWOMEN".or if a chick kicks a dude in the nuts its OK,but if i punched a chick i would go to juve.and i know this has nothing to due with my age ,but my parents got divorced and my mom lied and told the judge a whole bunch of lies about my dad,and they think bad of him,and when they left each other my mom got everything because in the state of ohio supposedly women have more power in divorce than guys because of child birth.???? its total bullshit he has nothing and my mom got every thing.I just dont get it,women want equal rights but they dont whant punishments to be the same.I think it should all be 50 50.U know what if divorce was equal?and what if punishment was equal?and everything was equal???? that could start something huge.think about it??????
