You should never hit a girl

[Cloud]

OKay that i can agree with
BUT, surely that should mean that girls shouldnt hit guys either

What is the actual difference between the two?
why is it a complete nono to lay a finger on a girl when theres girls kicking shit out of lads?
and girls kicking shit out of eachother

someone explain this flawed logic to me?


And before you say it
i am in no way condoning hitting women or men for that matter

[Amnesiac]

because people historically have considered women the weaker gender.

until now, of course

I bet eventually this old rule will be thrown out as they gain more and more rights.

[INFERNO]

The reason is based on inequality between sexes. Women were considered physically weaker and more submissive than the average man. It wouldn't be allowed because it would lower the man's social status to hitting something so inferior as women were socially inferior. Women were often considered to have the same social status as a dog would, which would be pretty low. Although they were human, even if they were an adult, they couldn't do things such as vote. Men were meant to be strong and rise above challenges, not lower themselves so much. A man could hit a man because both were roughly of the same social status so neither would have their social status decreased. A woman can hit each other for the same reason. A woman can hit a man because her social status wouldn't decrease, it may increase as she is breaking through the sex-based divide.

Nowadays, there still is social inequality but less so because women are socialized to be more aggressive like men than they were before. They still are physically weaker on average though. Women also have gained more rights and opportunities, which further decreases the social sex-based inequality.

I certainly dont agree with hitting a girl, but today there is too much emphasis on MEN not being allowed to hit WOMEN, but I think more emphasis needs to be put on ANYONE not being allowed to hit ANYONE!

A lot of women (NOT ALL!) think they are entitled to hit men, there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with it in today's society. But, it should be wrong to hit anyone, regardless of gender, age, race, religion, height, weight, whatever!!

Feminists wanted social equality, which I totally agree with, and I think most feminists (not all) have done great work in getting equality, but they should not get social superiority!

[Trickster]

Because although weve advanced we still hold on to old ideals as a guy hitting a girl is a show of weakness in the man because the man is stronger. I still feel the same way that hitting a girl is just wrong but i also feel that women want to be treated equally so...
Regardless you shouldnt hit people period but i dont know if hitting a girl will ever not be looked down upon

[scuba steve]

I would never hit a female, but if one was to randomly attack me etc i would put her down quick and fast, regardless of who's watching. Not in the sense of fighting, but overpower her or get her down on the ground... They wanted equlity they got it.

[danielf123]

double standered

why can a dude go around n sleep with many women and be praised
but a women does it and she's a slut?

technically men have better upper body strength, but women have better lower body strength soooo.....that means they can kick harder, and kicks usually hurt more then punches lol

[DarkHorses]

It's a respect thing. Men should have extreme respect for women, because if it weren't for women they wouldn't even exist. A women has your children, raises them, does all the housework (or at least used to), etc. You should treat the person who does all of that for you with respect. To me it doesn't have anything to do with her sex. It would be equally horrible if you were to hit your father or your mother. You respect the people who treat you well. And as for punching a girl that doesn't do those things for you, well then in my eyes it's no better or worse than punching another man; both shouldn't be done.

But I confess, I see it a bit worse to hit a woman than a man. I know that women are all about equal rights, but the truth is that men are stronger than women; they have a lot more muscle. It doesn't mean they're better than women. They're just the stronger sex. I don't understand when admitting that meant you thought men were superior to women. It's just a fact, simple as.

[Jess]

there isn't a difference. it's bad to hit anyone regardless of gender

[Maverick]

Nobody should hit anybody period.

[Ender]

there isn't a difference. it's bad to hit anyone regardless of gender

Nobody should hit anybody period.

I agree with the two above posts. nuff said.

[huginnmuninn]

if a girl hits me i dont care if my own mother is watching im gonna hit her back. if i hit a guy that was stonger than me and he hit back would you blame him? if a girl hits a guy for no reason then its ok for him to hit back in my opinion

Well times are getting different, because in my generation women are smarter and more superior. And my generation is the next adult generation.

[Sage]

I used to be on the fence when it comes to hitting women, but then I watched Jersey Shore. I think there are astounding numbers of people, both male and female, who should be hit, yes.

[INFERNO]

It's a respect thing. Men should have extreme respect for women, because if it weren't for women they wouldn't even exist.

That argument doesn't work. Women get pregnant from sperm, which come from men. So if it weren't for men, then women couldn't become pregnant.

Agreed, women are getting smarter and more superior than men. Is the last line of your post meant to be a refute to me in some way because if it is, I don't understand how or what you're even refuting. Or perhaps it's just me misinterpreting it which is quite possible.

if a girl hits me i dont care if my own mother is watching im gonna hit her back. if i hit a guy that was stonger than me and he hit back would you blame him? if a girl hits a guy for no reason then its ok for him to hit back in my opinion

To your question, I'd blame the both of you: you for hitting first and him for responding in the same way (i.e. unless for self-defense). If a woman hits you, unless you need to resort to self-defense to ward her off, then I see no need in hitting her back. If she slaps you for whatever reason and stops the attack, I see no purpose in hitting her back. What is the purpose that you see in that case?

[mrmcdonaldduck]

Frankly, if women want equality, they need to take the good and the bad. If a chick hits me, or kicks me or whatever, i wont actually fight them, but i will do as said above and try and subdue them. Otherwise it just isnt fair.

[danielf123]

id like to protest this as many many many women i have met in my life were straight up stupid. I dont mean this as an insult saying all women are, just that many of the ones ive met, and especially ones my age, are well, just not that bright. Ive met many women and such there are very intelligent, but then again, many guys ive met are pretty stupid too :| and if there getting smarter, im not seeing it

Because dude... Girls are frickin awesome.

Because dude... Girls are frickin awesome.

and this answers the question how
for one, dont come into ROTW unless you have a valid point to make
2 dont go into my threads and make daft comments
i have a girlfriend, and from conversations with her this is how this discussion came about so i brought it to vt

[starbrite5]

I agree with a few of the people who posted above: You shouldn't hit anyone, regardless of their gender. What really annoyed me were the girls in my middle school gym class who would smack guys for no reason, and then say "Oh, you can't hit me back cause I'm a girl."

[DarkHorses]

That argument doesn't work. Women get pregnant from sperm, which come from men. So if it weren't for men, then women couldn't become pregnant.

Sure, but what's harder? Having sex and giving a woman your sperm or carrying a baby in your stomach for 9 months? Men might be needed to have kids too, but they don't have to do nearly as much work. So in my opinion my argument still stands.

Yes but men still are needed. I understand your arguement, but women can't have babies without a man. Even if they have a sperm donor, a man is still involved.

I definatly agree that men definatly don't have it as hard as a woman, seeing as they have to carry the baby and give birth to it.

[solid-snake]

i had this chick fallow me home to beat the shit out of me(im not a strong fighter by any strech of the imagination) but when she thrw a punch at me i gave her a good hit to the face. her boyfreind pulled her away and next day im the whoman beater in school.
for some fucked up reson im the only person who knows that hitting whoman is not against the law. hell i never grew up by that rule. insted of dont hit girls it was more if someone picks on ya kick the shit out of em. girls have the same rights as men and by this famouse and over used statement
"everyone should be treated eaqualy"
by this logic i should be able to beat girls. evryone treats me like shit picks on me and beats me up so if everyone wants to be treated eaqual i should be able to beat girls.
hey its treating everyone eaqual.
now i dont condone beating anyone but still think of my logic. every one wants to be treated eaqual but who has not been discriminated. so we are eaqual. why do whoman get special treatment

worst spelling ever but i agree with you

[ericboi]

It's probably because boys are usually bigger and stronger.

[Fruit_Tart.]

yeah. im with you on this^^

also, what is there a need to hit anyone? really??? why would you want to hit someone. i know sometimes people do it to see who's superior (fights at school, sports like boxing, dead arm :P, ect.) and all, but still. i hit GUYS not girls but i only do it to play around with them like when we play dead arm and all that stuff. lol. but eh. im not saying dont harm or dont hit but if it's done out of anger or sadness then im that's when i say it's bad.

EDIT: this is to ericboi-
i dont think that all guys are usually stronger. at my school the girls are just as strong as the guys. they can beat the shit out of any guy they'd probably want to beat the shit out of. i just think that people say guys are more superior and stronger just because girls didn't show much of their abilities or qualities in the past. i dunno... im just mumble jumbled up. :/

guys are usually stronger its hereditary of course there are always going to be a few exceptions but usually guys are naturally stronger than girls

[Hatsune Miku]

It's probably because boys are usually bigger and stronger.

That's a sexist stereotype, and it's not always true. There are plenty of female body builders who could take down a male.

It's stating that a male is considered the stronger gender, while the female is considered lower than the male. Yes, you shouldn't hit anybody, regardless of gender, but say I get attacked by a female, if I hit her, I would be in more trouble than her, when shes the one who assaulted me first. It's unfair. Gender should not be taken into consideration when deciding a punishment.

[Errr]

I dont think ANYONE should hit anyone, be it man vs man or man vs woman or woman vs woman. Its simply barbaric. I mean honestly. But if there was a more "right" then 2 of the same sex fighting toghther is "better" because i was raised to never hit a female and a female should never hit a male either. I mean, if she is going to like stab me with a steak knife? yeah, im probably going to do what i need to too be safe. But getting mad and physically harming someone is complete nonsense to me. We are evolved now people. :)

lol we arent evolved for shit

Watch how chimpanzes act and tell me they dont remind you of humans
no im not saying were the same but we do share 98% DNA so in many ways we are alike

chimps kill and rape and shit all the time...against other chimps!!!
Just like us humans lol

[Scooby Dooby Drew]

Yes, physical assult, whether it be to a male or female, is wrong, but I hate it when people think it's so much worse to hit a girl than a guy. Women have been begging for years to be treated the same as men, and that should include the bad things too.
Personally I believe that there is a physical difference between men and women, and it shouldn't be ignored, but if women want to go off and say that we should be all treated the same, that's fine by me. But it does bother me that people would say it's worse to hit a girl than a guy, but still say that girls deserve equal rights and such.

yeah i never understood that part
lots of women
from my experiences, teenage girls, (i am a teenager after all haha)
want to be treated equally and fairly, but only in the good aspects
they never want to take the bad too

Like for example, some girls ive met said they want guys to treat them equally and all so i asked "well then, if thats the case, none of you should have a problem getting hit or insulted on a regular basis"
and of course they got mad saying "Fuck no!!! Guys shouldnt hit girls or call them names!!!" Now, what i meant by my statement is that, no, we shouldnt abuse women n shit to be equal

just that if you notice how guys are with each other, we mess around alot, call each other names, and hit each other for the fun of it.
i told em that too and they said "oh thats fine haha i thought u meant like abuse" and i said "Well if you get into a argument with a guy and it turns ugly and lets just say your the one who hits him first, shouldnt he be allowed to hit back now that you've hit him?" and they said "No, a guy should never hit a girl" so i asked "But i thought you wanted to be treated equally?" "We do but guys still shouldnt hit girls" i ask "Why? If you can hit us, why cant we hit back? After all, if you can hit us, we should be able to hit you back, thats what it means to be equal, you gotta take the good with the bad weather you like it or not, or we can keep the system the way it is where we arent treated as equals but you women get the same perks as now" they say "Yeah true but still, guys shouldnt hit girls! Its wrong!" i ask "So then, shouldnt it be fair that girls cant hit guys either?" they say "Well if he's gonna act up n be stupid, im gonna fuckin hit him" i ask "So then he can hit you back, right?" she says "No, i already told you guys shouldnt hit girls" i say "Then how can we ever be equals if you wont take the bad with the good?" they say "Just cuz your a guy doesnt make you better then us cuz were girls" i say "I didnt say that, i simply said how can we be equals? Just because were not equals doesnt mean im better than you or that your better then me, it simply means were not equals" they didnt have much to say after that hahaha

im just saying its odd how many women want to treated as equals but only want the good aspects and not the bad. Well then, if we did that, wouldnt it be that now, once again, were not equals? Then what? After that, we have the guys who want to be equal! Why? Because now men and women would have the same benifits except women would have the upper hand in many situations because they only took the good and not the bad, so once again, were imbalenced

As humans, we will never ever create a functionally running society were everyone is equal, someone always wants to 1-up someone else because by nature, were selfish, we care about others, sure, but first and foremost, were about taking care of ourselves before anyone else. Its self-preservation, to self-prservate, you gotta be at least a little selfish. And thats the problem with creating an equal society. Someone is always gonna wanna have something no one else has. As men and women, we all enjoy our sides of the double standered rules and its worked fine, lets not fuck it up. Men cant hit women, but women can hit men. Men can sleep around and be praised, Women will be called slut, whore, skank, etc... Double standerds man, dont knock em.

If a girl hits a boy, the boy hits her back.
Nobody should have to take violence from someone else, and if they do, then give it back twice as hard.

[Mrs.KermitTheFrogx]

me&one of my guy friends always play fight
but hes alot stronger than me because he does boxing
but i dont like proper hit him we just trip eachother and shit
and he usually just grabs my arms from behind so i cant movee
i think if girls ever attack you , you should do somthing along the lines of this.
and tbh i still think that women arnt as strong as men
(on average not like them world strongest women ... *shivers* eww )
but i dont think its right to hit anybody unless theres a really good reason behind it ,
Because im not one of them people who will just stand there getting punched.
But i think its worse for girls to start on boys because if they hit them back they will get loadsa shit of their mates ! x
