While I agree that a man shouldn't be the one to initiate the fight, because initiating always makes you look bad no matter what you are, if a woman is really deserving why not physically stop her from doing something?
I thought women battled hard for equal rights, not above rights? Why should they have the right to hit a man and the man shouldn't have the right to hit back?
An earlier poster mentioned that if she hits a man and the man hits back, she is pressing charges.
That is one of the most ridiculous things I've ever heard, or in this case read. She's going to initiate a fight and then press charges when the person who she hit decides to defend themselves?
It's ok to do that though because if it goes to court, there will be women on the jury who will side with her, and the men in the jury would have been raised the same way we are all raised which teaches us it's never right to hit a woman.
Men are becoming second-class citizens. Girls are growing up being taught to take the power, while boys are growing up being taught to share the power. This makes an imbalance.
How come if a girl is "good enough" at a sport or something, she can play on the boys team? This takes away spots on the team from the boys who would otherwise make the team. Oh, it's ok though because males are being taught to be tough and never complain, so these things just happen and everyone pretends to be ok with it.
Now about the men are physically stronger than women thing, a woman's argument always begins with "A woman can be just as strong as a man..." Right there whoever used that line just admitted that a woman can be just as strong or stronger, but by default and the majority of the time, she is not as strong. Thus a woman is only equally strong or stronger than a man in extreme circumstances which are the exception.
While I'm all for equal rights, and I'm not against modern-day chivalry, some women just take things too far. I've been in some one-way fights where the female is throwing slaps (or kicks) at you because I can control myself and be the "bigger man". But if a woman gets too out of control to the point where she is physically doing some damage, I'm going to stop her.
