Sexism, equal duties, self-defense indifferent to gender

Had to start this because of opposition to Forum Freedom-see sig.

So what are your ideas or opinions?

I for one, think it does not matter who is attacking you, the reaction should be the same.

Yes. And i'd enjoy it. I hate rabid women, really hate them. The same goes for men, though i'd call them something else. And i think we've managed to kind of tip over the wrong way. Women and men should be equal, but women shouldnt get more rights than men (like, non gender specific rights. Domestic violence is an exception and so is the rest of that stuff)

Never said anything about rabid women...

If she's mad, really really mad and trying to send you to the hospital. I'd call her rabid.

Shoot KO pills into her mouth and when she swallows them and KO's give her the vaccine.

That where have a problem with this, as they could be a hostile combatant.

I f they have no reason, and are butch, I would have to. Say if I met one in a mosh. But generally, there aren't many girls I would get to know who I wouldn't be able to incapacitate without punching.

I would go for the option "Yes, if they were as big as I was"

No.

I wanted to put it as starkly as possible. however, I realise you were asking whether my stance about hitting girls was natural, not whether they are as big as me.

in some other post alka mentioned something about if you would not hit the woman in the above scenario it would be sexist or something to that degree. I agree with him but i also beleive there is a much larger underlying problem. I think this "don't hit women attitude" is just stereotypical. Its saying woman aren't strong enough to take stress and are fairly weak. This leads to the attitude" Men are strong and let them handle all the problems" I mean this goes back hundreds of years, maybe a thousand. The view that men go off to war, while the women stay with the children. Even more popularized by movies and the media, is showing women faint or become overwhelmed when they see a mass grave or people dieing. I was reading even more into the Titanic incident where a announcement was given "Women and children first into boats" Many women were angry at this. (Of course that was after the entire incident was over). They made the sad point that women were being shoved into the same category as children. In fact this was subordinating them to men. That is really why this viewpoint is harmful to women. They are being shunned down to a lower level than men. I mean people then might as well say (dont mean this to ANY extent, just criticizing don't hit women sayings) "don't hit women they're inferior and can't take it.

They are constructed in another way, both physicly and psychologicly. So yes, they're not as strong as men. But they become stronger with training, obviously.

so the comment is women are inferior physically?

Like it or not, but we're not 100% equal. They're slightly less capable of violence

Women, in general, have intelligence come easier to them
Men, in general, have strength come easier to them

have you?

no, i was just checking, that's all

Uh... Big no on the first one. Especially here in America. The second one I tend to agree with a bit more.

And here... saying the girls in my class have the intelligence of a seagull would be an insult to all seagulls. ALL OF THEM. But men are constructed in a different way, we are more capable of enduring and doing harm physicly.

I won't deny that I've been an airhead at times, though those a far and few between. I can't say anything about other girls at my school though.

Dj, you are condemming yourself to a life of not having your posts read due to their length!

he's just stating his views... The same way i'd say religion is something for people who want something to comfort them about life, whether it's real or not.

Who else agrees?

i totally agree.

Well... I believe that woman have the same right as man's, but I agree that they have social diferences and positions... for example... there are things that are easier to accept on a girl than on boys... as the other way around...

Weird, I thought I posted something about this....

Yes, in a natural situation, most women will be physically less than men.
(Although they, in a natural situation, mostly will be intellectually more than men.)
(However there are exceptions!!)

So as most of them are weaker I wouldn't hit them, at least not full-out.
If a male midget started fighting me, I wouldn't straight-out kick him in the head, would I?

I don't know why, but those exceptions are usually mora atractive than the others... except on some rare situations...

Beside, I wouldn't hit a girl... I would just hold her until she gave up...

Guys trying to hit me? Oh yeah... I would make him a roundkick on the face asap!

So you don't believe that God's word is an accurate book?

Ok, whatever.

@ Me naam

Perfect explanation there.

You hit it right on.

Abraham pimped his wife out twice, and had concubines. I don't see many actual Christians going around doing that these days.

edit:good job on off topic, i am surprised the Topic Police aren't cracking hard on this stuff.


Ok so far we have reached
-Not the same but equal
-Not equal physically
-Psychologically can not be determined


Ok now I ask this, Should men and women have equal duties? But how far is this limited, based on the inequality of their characteristics? eg. Should men do more because they are able to do more?

I gather that you practice it then?
