Pretty sure OPs just trying to frustrate you and not answer. Staying neutral in reality.
Why the hell is like 75% of discussion of feminism here really wanting to hit women?
Yep, it's more than a bit concerning
Men trying to justify hitting women. Come another post, I bet they'd justify hitting elderly and children. Claim "self-defense" bullshit.

minabear
This, so much.
no one wants to hit anyone, but that chauvinistic "dont hit women" bullshit is abused by women to misbehave without fearing consequences
I don't know what women you know, but I've never seen a woman strike a man...
nice trolling...women hitting men is quite common, because the man will be laughed upon when complaining and be blamed when hitting back 1/
I am not trolling... I have *never* in my life seen a woman strike a man.
good for u...but u are aware that there are things happening even if u dont see them, right? women arent always innocent little princesses
also physical violence is a normal way of self-defense, so when a woman threatens someone or something she has to expect consequences 2/2
I think it's entirely dependent on your safety vs. theirs. Male or female, 4ft8 vs. 6ft2 ain't a fair fight. Not an actual threat? Walk away
AroAce
Yeah walking away is such a good option /s.
ecodude
It is. Even a furious psycho isn't going to be a threat when you leave the room.

"You wish you could reach!" & then proceed to wallop him in the face with a frying pan to hand, lesson i learned was never cross aunt carole
doobiedoobiedoobiedoo
Not a fair fight at all, but being smaller does not give the right to hit and not expect to be hit back. Don't abuse someone and then play
I agree, I'm just saying a girl behaving like an leasehold shouldn't get smacked by someone twice her size, and vice versa.
Haha, *arsehole
Victim when they defend themselves or strike back - if they are bigger, you chose your opponent
Again, if you have the upper hand, restrain them. You don't need to drop them to the ground
But if you're a 6-1 guy, and a 5 ft tall girl slaps you, hitting back is excessive. She can't do damage to you, while you could easily maim.
Use proportionate force (just enough to diffuse situation) if acting in self defence. If you don't need to use force them walk away.
Yeah, definitely agreed: restraining someone is a whole other thing than decking them in the face

Idk about all programming languages, but generally "!=" means "not equal to." Just an fyi...

If you're in danger, use whatever abilities you have to protect yourself, Imo.
Does slapping pose imminent danger? No, it doesn't. You're equating all violence with fatal violence.

I've seen this so many times and it still cracks me up. Easily my favorite comic right now.
If you like Burr check out Tom Segura, Jim Jefferies, or Mike Bribiglia if you haven't already.
Oh, or Doug Stanhope. But don't watch Stanhope's Youtube clips, catch a full show via Netflix. Much better as a full act than in sections.
All those guys are awesome. I'm assuming you listen to Burr's podcast?

Saying it's not okay to hit a women does not mean someone's saying it's okay for women to hit men. No one hit anyone. That's assault.

It kinda is. There are 2 sexes, men and women. This says specifically that it's not okay to hit one. One would assume that that means it's
cloudliss
yeah but it didn't fucking say that now did it?
GilaMonsieur
sometimes it's self-defense, not assault
manicmalki
It is never okay to harm another out of malice. The fact they say it is not okay to his a woman is sexist and part of the problem.
okay to hit the other then. Let's say there are 2 people standing in front of you, Jim and Jam. I say you can't hit Jim. Most people would
Juxtapositron
I agree completely with the sentiment, but we don't live in that world. Some women are psycho and violent just like some men.
That's equality, though.
assume since I only put that parameter on Jim, it doesn't apply to Jam. Jam gets beaten to a pulp.

It's actually battery.
j442
Thank you for being correct.
JesusMowsMyLawn
It actually depends on the jurisdiction. Some penal codes don't contain the word battery. Texas for instance.
I was taught by Red Cross during my CNA training that physical harm is battery. It is nationally recognized.
No, it isn't nationally recognized. In Texas it's all considered to be different degrees of assault. Texas penal code is online, go look.
ularg
How does baseball get involved?
MithridateEupator

No, it's battery even if there isn't lasting damage. It's just very hard to prove that you were actually attacked.
OddIsHe
The most demeaning thing ever is feeling like you cant defend yourself against a woman attacking you. iv been there.
RaisinZetaJones
My step-father had that problem with my mother. I didn't. Turns out "don't hit a kid" trumps "don't hit a woman" in social discourse.
It's really discouraging how often it is assumed the male is the sole aggressor.
iwishjtmoneywasstillavailableitsmyoldvideogamemoniker
As have I but I believe one attack is enough to allow me to defend myself without judgement. I wont allow myself to be attacked again.
I feel the same way to be honest but im kinda nervous about it.
Get the police involved first. I had to send the person I am talking about to jail. This establishes her intentions in my mind.
HandsomeJack19
Me too. I literally ran away & locked myself in a bathroom when it happened to me. Even though I outweighed her by 100 lbs & used to box.
Best thing to do i ran out her back gate backwards while she was punching kicking and spitting at me and then got out of there.
saintbarnz
Even worse when the cops show up and cuff your ass for standing there getting hit, never once touching her.
Schnitzeloid

MoralRectifier
Feeling defenseless is pretty demeaning regardless of who's attacking you. Except for toddlers and puppies, cuz their attacks are pathetic.
i don't think so to be honest at least with a man i can do something about it instead of just taking it and doing nothing in fear of 1/2
hurting them and marking them while trying to restrain them which they could use against you.
skisquirrel
Someone has never gotten the toddler kick to the balls changing a diaper. Surprising strength plus immunity from retaliation is scary.
ButterfaceTaintClown
It doesn't say you can't defend yourself, neither does the law. The post is a straw man argument.
if you hurt them while defending yourself who do you think they are going to believe a 6.4 man or a 5 foot nothing woman

margaretolson
I'm a woman, and a feminist. IMO, if a woman is physically attacking you, you have every right to defend yourself accordingly.
pyr666
every national feminist organization has fought tooth and nail against that idea.
Others do not speak for me
if someone called themselves a klansmen, would a response like yours seem sufficient?
Are you honestly comparing the KKK to feminists?
I agree with this, but until the legal system and law enforcement can get behind this, guys get the short straw here :(
Well I always speak up if the opportunity presents itself. I know it's not much, but I try :(
Please keep doing so!! It starts with a small voice and can grow into a big change! Sorry to be discouraging...please keep speaking up
People frustrate me
i wouldn't risk it. People didn't & don't believe me to this day. She told people i don't it to her but her family know i made her tell them
I'm really sorry people are like that. Honestly, even as a woman these types of double standards are gross and frustrating.
Before it happened to be i was guilty of it. So i can't really blame people. its just how society is and maybe in the future it will 1/2
be better but i don't know. i made her tell her family for my safety
theworldisdying
Her words after she hit me were "call the cops. Tiny me vs a Big bad Marine, who do you think is going to jail?"

I'm a woman. I pulled a knife and then I ran like hell. I don't know that I'd still be here if I didn't have the knife and if I had not run.
Good you're still here. Downsides about drawing knives is you escalate the fight immediately, you gotta use it or they take it.
Already had gotten physical, I broke away, grabbed the knife, he saw I was prepared to use it and he paused, so I ran. From my own bedroom.
*hug* You got away, that is good. But yeah if things are already escalated might as well try and get the advantage.

TheSkeletonWar
Bring a bayonet musket to a knifefight.
xeno426
In close fighting, not a good idea with the musket. In WW1, the bayonet was usually rather useless. Knives or spades were better.
In the duel, first shoot; If miss, long stab. You still got range over the knife. If you fucked up again, embrace death for you deserved it.
bad idea, you want the other guy to bring a knife to a gunfight.(2)
GenevaTheUnicorn
Well yeah but if you bring the gun specifically to the knife fight you can assume you can line some shots up before you get into knife range
critterfluffy
Range a knife weilder can close before a gun is pulled, readied, and fired is about 20ft. Cops are trained to shoot if you get that close

JunWasHere
That's the point though, all you really have to do is hold the thing up, look crazy, and they'll back up. Most folks don't fuck with crazy.
In melee ranges? Sure...
I think it has to do with the fact that a person can close from 21 feet faster than most can draw and aim a handgun
Aiming is silly at extremely close ranges... just use the built in point and click interface...
I believe the study with that finding called anything under 21 feet "close range" and 21 feet is average for most criminal encounters
Correct; but. If the gun is already drawn, the person with the knife is a pencil.

Pretty sure OPs just trying to frustrate you and not answer. Staying neutral in reality.
Groznek
Why the hell is like 75% of discussion of feminism here really wanting to hit women?
saladmonkey
Yep, it's more than a bit concerning
Canisiel
Men trying to justify hitting women. Come another post, I bet they'd justify hitting elderly and children. Claim "self-defense" bullshit.
RecurringNightmare
you call it bullshit til some old geezer pokes ur eye out with his crutch while lecturing you about his antiquated 1950s morals
minabear
This, so much.
RecurringNightmare
no one wants to hit anyone, but that chauvinistic "dont hit women" bullshit is abused by women to misbehave without fearing consequences
minabear
I don't know what women you know, but I've never seen a woman strike a man...
RecurringNightmare
nice trolling...women hitting men is quite common, because the man will be laughed upon when complaining and be blamed when hitting back 1/
minabear
I am not trolling... I have *never* in my life seen a woman strike a man.
RecurringNightmare
good for u...but u are aware that there are things happening even if u dont see them, right? women arent always innocent little princesses
RecurringNightmare
also physical violence is a normal way of self-defense, so when a woman threatens someone or something she has to expect consequences 2/2
saladmonkey
I think it's entirely dependent on your safety vs. theirs. Male or female, 4ft8 vs. 6ft2 ain't a fair fight. Not an actual threat? Walk away
AroAce
Yeah walking away is such a good option /s.
ecodude
It is. Even a furious psycho isn't going to be a threat when you leave the room.
AroAce
Are you sure you won´t be followed ?

Lol my uncle paul is 6 ft 10 his wife is 4 ft 11, 40 odd yrs ago they were arguing an she said "i should slap your mouth!", he said (1/2)
MrsFX
"You wish you could reach!" & then proceed to wallop him in the face with a frying pan to hand, lesson i learned was never cross aunt carole
doobiedoobiedoobiedoo
Not a fair fight at all, but being smaller does not give the right to hit and not expect to be hit back. Don't abuse someone and then play
saladmonkey
I agree, I'm just saying a girl behaving like an leasehold shouldn't get smacked by someone twice her size, and vice versa.
saladmonkey
Haha, *arsehole
doobiedoobiedoobiedoo
Victim when they defend themselves or strike back - if they are bigger, you chose your opponent
saladmonkey
Again, if you have the upper hand, restrain them. You don't need to drop them to the ground
ecodude
But if you're a 6-1 guy, and a 5 ft tall girl slaps you, hitting back is excessive. She can't do damage to you, while you could easily maim.
lemonfluff
Use proportionate force (just enough to diffuse situation) if acting in self defence. If you don't need to use force them walk away.
saladmonkey
Yeah, definitely agreed: restraining someone is a whole other thing than decking them in the face
princesspumpernickel
Doesn't matter to me what your gender, we shouldn't put our hands on each other at all in anger.
SephReed
this just leads to passive aggressive bullshit.
Ewanator
Anger =/ self defence
billypilgrim7
Anger != self defense***
billypilgrim7
Idk about all programming languages, but generally "!=" means "not equal to." Just an fyi...
Ewanator
=/ is often used to represent = with a line through it, which in mathematics represents not equal to.

Sometimes people need to be hit.

Saying it's not okay to hit a women does not mean someone's saying it's okay for women to hit men. No one hit anyone. That's assault.
spareseatonmyface
It kinda is. There are 2 sexes, men and women. This says specifically that it's not okay to hit one. One would assume that that means it's
cloudliss
yeah but it didn't fucking say that now did it?
GilaMonsieur
sometimes it's self-defense, not assault
manicmalki
It is never okay to harm another out of malice. The fact they say it is not okay to his a woman is sexist and part of the problem.
spareseatonmyface
okay to hit the other then. Let's say there are 2 people standing in front of you, Jim and Jam. I say you can't hit Jim. Most people would
Juxtapositron
I agree completely with the sentiment, but we don't live in that world. Some women are psycho and violent just like some men.
EGOT
That's equality, though.
spareseatonmyface
assume since I only put that parameter on Jim, it doesn't apply to Jam. Jam gets beaten to a pulp.

Canisiel
It's actually battery.
j442
Thank you for being correct.
JesusMowsMyLawn
It actually depends on the jurisdiction. Some penal codes don't contain the word battery. Texas for instance.
Canisiel
I was taught by Red Cross during my CNA training that physical harm is battery. It is nationally recognized.
JesusMowsMyLawn
No, it isn't nationally recognized. In Texas it's all considered to be different degrees of assault. Texas penal code is online, go look.
ularg
How does baseball get involved?
MithridateEupator
Only if they do damage
ecodude
No, it's battery even if there isn't lasting damage. It's just very hard to prove that you were actually attacked.
OddIsHe
The most demeaning thing ever is feeling like you cant defend yourself against a woman attacking you. iv been there.
RaisinZetaJones
My step-father had that problem with my mother. I didn't. Turns out "don't hit a kid" trumps "don't hit a woman" in social discourse.
doobiedoobiedoobiedoo
It's really discouraging how often it is assumed the male is the sole aggressor.
iwishjtmoneywasstillavailableitsmyoldvideogamemoniker
As have I but I believe one attack is enough to allow me to defend myself without judgement. I wont allow myself to be attacked again.
OddIsHe
I feel the same way to be honest but im kinda nervous about it.
iwishjtmoneywasstillavailableitsmyoldvideogamemoniker
Get the police involved first. I had to send the person I am talking about to jail. This establishes her intentions in my mind.
HandsomeJack19
Me too. I literally ran away & locked myself in a bathroom when it happened to me. Even though I outweighed her by 100 lbs & used to box.
OddIsHe
Best thing to do i ran out her back gate backwards while she was punching kicking and spitting at me and then got out of there.
saintbarnz
Even worse when the cops show up and cuff your ass for standing there getting hit, never once touching her.
Schnitzeloid
My brother been there.
ProfessorCastle
Yes sir. Been there done that. And when you explain why you went to jail, everyone assumes you're lying.

That isn't what happened to me. She left marks, and went to jail. I slept great and phone stayed off.

Someone has never gotten the toddler kick to the balls changing a diaper. Surprising strength plus immunity from retaliation is scary.

It doesn't say you can't defend yourself, neither does the law. The post is a straw man argument.

if you hurt them while defending yourself who do you think they are going to believe a 6.4 man or a 5 foot nothing woman

I'm really sorry people are like that. Honestly, even as a woman these types of double standards are gross and frustrating.

Good you're still here. Downsides about drawing knives is you escalate the fight immediately, you gotta use it or they take it.

Already had gotten physical, I broke away, grabbed the knife, he saw I was prepared to use it and he paused, so I ran. From my own bedroom.

just grab something that out ranges the knife, simple. Like a baseball bat, a tall lamp, or any katanas/swords you may have on display.

But the katana that I have would probably snap or something, I'd rather grab the hatchet right behind me.

TheSkeletonWar
Bring a bayonet musket to a knifefight.
xeno426
In close fighting, not a good idea with the musket. In WW1, the bayonet was usually rather useless. Knives or spades were better.
TheSkeletonWar
In the duel, first shoot; If miss, long stab. You still got range over the knife. If you fucked up again, embrace death for you deserved it.
awefulcrowded23
bad idea, you want the other guy to bring a knife to a gunfight.(2)
GenevaTheUnicorn
Well yeah but if you bring the gun specifically to the knife fight you can assume you can line some shots up before you get into knife range
critterfluffy
Range a knife weilder can close before a gun is pulled, readied, and fired is about 20ft. Cops are trained to shoot if you get that close
Fluffybadger
This is why bayonets are a great compromise.

I think it has to do with the fact that a person can close from 21 feet faster than most can draw and aim a handgun
bippityboppitybuttsex
Aiming is silly at extremely close ranges... just use the built in point and click interface...
awefulcrowded23
I believe the study with that finding called anything under 21 feet "close range" and 21 feet is average for most criminal encounters
bippityboppitybuttsex
Correct; but. If the gun is already drawn, the person with the knife is a pencil.
