Apparently it's only wrong if a man hits a woman. WTF? [FB]

stemgang · 2012-04-14T12:34:31+00:00

The claim in the comments that women do less damage than men in a physical fight is ridiculous.

Whether male or female, anytime someone is attacking you, you are at risk.

Although the average female has less upper-body strength than the average male, it is absurd and condescending to assume that she cannot eye-gouge, or use a weapon.

Women are neither delicate flowers not harmless pushovers.

In the area of physical violence, they are certainly capable of dealing equally grievous damage, and need to be dealt with as such.

The demand to never hit a woman is an absurd chauvinistic relic, and needs to be abandoned.

Women are more than capable of defending themselves, and men need to stop rushing to defend them.

Really, the demand that men not hit women is nothing more than an undisguised call for asymmetric privilege.

tl;dr: Women want to be able to hit men, without fear of being struck in return.

JaumeBG · 2012-04-14T11:18:46+00:00

They claim to seek equality but at the same time are being both mysogynistic and misandrist by undervaluing a man by saying he's a woman. I fail to see their logic.

xLilikoix · 2012-04-14T15:27:59+00:00

That's why my mother always told me, "If a girl hits you, you punch her right in the jaw."

I wouldn't hit anyone anyway unless I was threatened, but I had a group of girls try to mug me once, I punched one of them hard in the face, and her buddies were like "DID YOU SEE WHAT HE DID, WE'RE GETTING YOU ARRESTED".

Unbelievable.

BinaryShadow · 2012-04-14T16:25:38+00:00

Gotta love white knights.

capedrunt · 2012-04-14T12:52:39+00:00

They'll rightfully complain about rape of women, but laugh when men get raped in prison...

Some equality...

Screenaged · 2012-04-14T16:28:04+00:00

Here's a new strategy: when a guy starts acting like the one seen in this screencap, call him a mangina. Tell him he's the epitome of pussy whipped. An entire gender has convinced him that it's ok for any one of them to abuse him but it's never ok for him to fight back. He's on the receiving end of an abusive relationship and they've done such a job on him that he actually likes it that way.

I know it sounds cheesy and petty but what else are mindless meatheads like him going to respond to? They're acting out of some programmed guise of chivalry or manliness without realizing they've been tricked into handing their balls over for keeps

fondueguy · 2012-04-14T15:24:48+00:00

Great job! Really.

The one minor tweek I would suggest in a situation like that is focus on the ability of women to hurt men, before you get to the fact that women rape men. I guess you could deal with both if you talk about the way women have injured men (or threatened) for sex. This includes knifes, guns, overpowering the guy, mutilating his genitals (ripped his ball off!), and so on.

Another tactic is attacking "no woman deserves it" by asking if Casey anthony is a lady.

All n all great job.

Pizzainbed · 2012-04-14T12:21:20+00:00

I agree with you in principle but I don't think this is the right way to try and help people understand what men's rights are about.

we aren't "faggots" who want to be treated like women we just don't want the equality to bend into women's favour because of stupid impositions like male strength.

Provoking people into Facebook fights may make you feel like a hero but if you want to be taken seriously at all and help people understand try take a different approach or just not bring it up at all.

At the moment a lot of people are ignorant, fighting about it just makes them stubborn, instead, if its just politely conveyed it will serve to bring these types of people into our way of thinking about these gender equality issues rather than have them jump on the other side of the fence to the crazy person arguing on a Facebook status. I hope I don't sound rude aha honestly I'd just hate to see men's rights to become the next "atheism"

sidewalkchalked · 2012-04-14T13:36:14+00:00

Sounds like you have some defriending to do. I think you presented yourself in a calm, logical manner, and you got called a faggot and a girl.

I don't understand how using these terms as an insult is a step towards gender equality.

pun337 · 2012-04-14T13:09:29+00:00

Why did you make multicoloured Dicks on the screenshot

EpicJ · 2012-04-14T16:26:30+00:00

Always reminds me of this the woman slaps no one gives a fuck, when he slaps her back with about the same force everyone rushes him.

2012-04-14T16:40:32+00:00

This whole "It's wrong to hit a woman but a-okay to hit a man" is bullshit. If I get into an altercation and I throw the first blow (I try to avoid being the one to throw the first hit but it happens) regardless of gender I except the person to fight back. Having a vagina does not give you a free pass to avoid getting beat-down, especially if you throw the first punch.

praisecarcinoma · 2012-04-14T17:07:10+00:00

The fact is, no one should hit anyone. No one should rape anyone. No one should be a shithead to anyone. If neither of these things were occurring, there would be no need to defend ones self. It goes for both genders. It's bizarre to me that one can make that specific analysis but yet instead of agree, just simply argue in favor of women. Yes, hitting women is bad. You know what else is bad? Anyone fucking hitting anyone.

ConfirmedCynic · 2012-04-14T19:54:35+00:00

When will someone develop some software to screen out juvenile idiots?

You know, something like a "Norton Anti-Moron Edition".

Anyone types something along the lines of "hur hur u r al assholes shut up faggot" and the computer shuts down until the parents come home to enter their password.

If a woman has the balls to disrespect a person(no matter the gender) and hit them, she has the balls to get knocked the fuck down. Sorry fellow ladies, this is not a one way fucking street. It's about respect, not gender, stupid fucks. = D I love Reddit.

ravia · 2012-04-14T15:26:07+00:00

Definite got a bad ass here.

fondueguy · 2012-04-14T15:28:01+00:00

How fucking dumb are they. Men get beat up by women all the time.

They would let themselves get knived, headbutted, shoved into a table by surprise then kicked, kicked in the balls repeatedly, broken nose,...

I'll bet they would allow a weaker man to do the same.

THEAdrian · 2012-04-14T16:20:41+00:00

I wonder what these big tough guys would do if a woman started attacking them?

PostOfficeBuddy · 2012-04-14T20:47:05+00:00

I like how she was insulting you by calling you a girl.

ThatGuy20 · 2012-04-14T21:20:59+00:00

a lot of women are stronger than a lot of guys. the argument that women is weaker is bullshit. an athletic chick could easily kick the ass of a skinny nerd.

2012-04-14T22:19:19+00:00

The simple paradox:

If women can do the things men can - then women can physically brutalize a man just as men can a woman.
If women can't do the things men can - then equality isn't really an achievable goal.

To try and have it both ways - is just feminist hypocrisy.

Either women should be treated as equals even when that means women are held responsible or they shouldn't.

CrawdaddyJoe · 2012-04-14T23:15:14+00:00

The hilarity here- the idea that women should be protected and guarded and men should not is rooted in the same sexist 'women are weak delicate flowers and men are big strong powerful bruisers' crap that both MRAs and feminists hate- or, at least, the intellectually honest people on both sides.

Flamewall26 · 2012-04-15T02:37:48+00:00

I got physically abused in my last relationship, I can't fucking stand this post right now.

Nerzz · 2012-04-15T08:48:26+00:00

its shit like this is why i dont say anything to these people. They are ignorant rude and arrogant and it makes me want to hit another person. I get all worked up about someones ignoramus response to a facebook post where i try to reach out to them and i get all worked up and determine its not worth trying. That last about 2 months then i try again and its the same shit. I fucking hate people.

Jahonay · 2012-04-14T19:37:03+00:00

Please don't let r/mensrights become a facebook screenshot subreddit.

I am so glad I dont do the whole facebook thing. hhe shit I see on here is enough to verify that I have chosen a wise path.

bellzook · 2012-04-14T14:40:20+00:00

People arguing from a feminist framework usually don't try and insult people by calling them girls and faggots. But yeah, no one should hit except in self-defense.

Orimos · 2012-04-14T16:54:27+00:00

My brain hurts...

DiscreteOpinion · 2012-04-14T15:28:22+00:00

Your aggressive approach only makes it harder to get your point across.

sporkems · 2012-04-14T16:57:40+00:00

I love how he doesn't even consider how that attitude may be actually insulting to women. It is basically putting us into the same category as children and small animals. Yeah, no thanks.

2012-04-14T18:55:40+00:00

Female abuse of male partners is more common than the other way around. It's ridiculous that men can't even defend themselves.

MuseofRose · 2012-04-14T21:18:17+00:00

The bullshit about hitting a woman, just because she is girl is never going to fly with me. Once anybody lays a finger on me, that means that that person has stepped outside the bounds of civility and are ready to engage in a hand-to-hand combat. You activate, be prepared to back it up I give a damn what conventions exist for your gender.

atheistunicycle · 2012-04-14T17:20:22+00:00

DAE see the blocks of colors as penises?

What_Is_X · 2012-04-14T18:36:12+00:00

OP, are you actually a woman, or a male? Just curious from the replies.

spinningmagnets · 2012-04-14T19:28:40+00:00

"No matter what the situation, a man should never lay a hand on a woman"

OK, I'll bite. A big-ass chick is suddenly beating the shit out of my girlfriend/wife. I stand there and...what? ask her to please stop? tell her I'm calling the police?

nepidae · 2012-04-14T20:40:00+00:00

I hate the "average girl average guy" excuse. If everyone were average and no weapons (or improvised weapons) existed, yes then you can use that as an argument.

Of course even then, the average person doesn't go around assaulting other people.

2012-04-15T04:51:55+00:00

Your facebook friends are retarded.

LuckyAmeliza · 2012-04-15T05:02:43+00:00

This reminds me of that whole McDonalds incident were the guy was defending himself against 2 ( possible 3 I'm not sure) girls who were being completely irrational and violent. I was so very happy to hear he had no charges brought against him. Bitches like that make me sad for my gender. =/

reece1218 · 2012-05-27T17:32:18+00:00

I feel your pain.

JoshSN · 2012-04-14T13:22:06+00:00

I served in the Marine Corps.

In boot camp, during hand to hand combat training, they taught us never to hit a woman, even if she hits you, unless she starts hitting you with a baseball bat or a frying pan.

For me, the issue has never come up.

But I think Men's Rights should attack the Marine Corps for their ultra-feminist, male-hating, rights-hating stance.

Dontcha think?

Japonica · 2012-04-14T14:29:04+00:00

You're fighting the good fight, don't give up!

2012-04-14T17:18:47+00:00

The way you obscured the names of the people makes them look like dicks.

2012-04-14T18:06:14+00:00

All I can see when I look at the way you blacked out the names: dicks

chonchita · 2012-04-14T18:09:53+00:00

Man, that's stupid how people think. I'm a girl and I loath it when people talk like that. I wouldn't care less if I was hit by a guy because I assaulted him first cause, fuck, I was asking for it; not that I will ever hit anyone unless my life or somebody else's life depended on it. As for all those other girls, well they are asking for it. It reminds me of kids and teens: a girl can tease a boy so much in good fun and they boy could care less, but when the boy does it back in good fun as well the girl starts crying and telling everyone that he is mean.

celibacy4life · 2012-04-14T15:59:42+00:00

It's like "GirlWritesWhat" says. Feminism relies heavily on these notions of chivalry. Watch an episode of this season's Bad Girls Club. It totally undermines these notions. I am really surprised 4 of them weren't arrested for aggravated assault.

TYHJudgey · 2012-04-14T14:17:54+00:00

The FB person being a woman who truly stands for EQUALITY is nice to see, way too many crazy feminists who are actually misandrists.. Also that said, way too many MRA's who are just misogynists, however that wasnt my point.

ThaFreakyOne · 2012-04-14T14:18:46+00:00

I like how you drew penises over their names.

hmasing · 2012-04-14T14:39:14+00:00

Your point is 100% spot on, but I had a hard time getting past the fact that your picture was covered in multi-colored dicks. :-)

Retawtrams · 2012-04-14T14:39:55+00:00

Am I the only one though the color blots all looked like penises?

Residual_Entropy · 2012-04-14T22:59:47+00:00

you guys are some weak ass bitches

a girl hitting you is like a 5 year old hitting you, its fucking laughable and shouldnt be taken seriously

if she has a weapon, yeah totally different story. hit that bitch and run the other way

if she tries to punch you? laugh, grab her arm and tickle her or push her (gently) on the couch

jesus christ, you guys are MEN right? quit acting like a bunch of women
