Do women have plot armour?

It's all a double standard. Boys are obviously stronger than girls, but if you say that, liberal white women will have a melt down and start pissing and shitting and vomiting everywhere. But, they still want those rules in place. They want all the privileges with none of the responsibility.

Equal rights equal fights.

They shouldn’t be able to. No one should be hitting anyone. Much of education rhetoric and programs (you know the so called “anti-male” system) teaches children to keep their hands to themselves, as should parents.

Women play the game of life on easy mode.

I am reminded of a YouTube video that showed an altercation between a male and female on a subway. The female began the fight by striking the male,. When the male attempted to fend her off, she escalated by attacking him with one of her high heeled shoes. Finally, the male struck back. Authorities were eventually called and the male was charged with assault. Interestingly, the female was charged with aggravated assault (the shoe was regarded as a weapon). The video gave no indication of whether either or both parties were convicted.

There were numerous comments attached to the video discussing whether the male was right or wrong to respond. One person, self-identifying as Russian, wrote: "In my country, when a woman strikes a man, she ceases to be a woman and instead becomes a sparring partner."

I've always loved that quote. It expresses something I've always believed: If you start a fight against someone bigger and/or stronger, you have implicitly accepted the consequences.

Because we, men, let that narrative take hold.

PracticalSock5373 · 2026-01-25T14:34:12+00:00

If men can't hit BACK, they are then defenseless against women and women have no right to hit THEM. Period!

I was beaten by a woman years ago very badly because I refused to defend myself and never once struck her back. I was taught NEVER to hit a woman under ANY circumstances, and so I simply wouldn't do it, no matter how badly she was injuring me. I've defended myself very effectively against men much bigger and stronger than she was and if I'd been able to hit her back, I would have put a stop to it instantly! But a lifetime of believing a man should NEVER hit a woman stuck with me on that day.

But my being taught to NEVER hit a woman left me utterly defenseless against her. Utterly DEFENSELESS! Whenever I shielded any part of my body, she'd hit, kick, scratch, gouge or cut somewhere else. I was left with cracked ribs, two black eyes with an eye swollen almost all the way shut, a bloody nose, a split lip, a torn and bleeding scalp, my clothes were shredded, my body was bruised and bloody, scratched and scraped and cut, and I wound up in the hospital. When other people finally arrived on the scene, this women I didn't know finally stopped cursing me for being a man while she pounded and kicked and scratched and cut me, and she then ran off into the night.

After years of thinking about that day when I was being physically assaulted by that woman stranger, I have decided I WILL hit back if a woman ever attacks me again. I won't be so utterly defenseless like that ever again. Not EVER again!

I've spoken to numerous women friends about it and it shocks me how many hear my story and still say a man should NEVER hit a woman under ANY circumstances, that there's NEVER ANY EXCUSE for it, NEVER, yet don't believe women should be limited by the same rule! Lots of good women don't feel that way, but there are a still many others who DO. Enough of them that it that really disturbs me.

The answer I usually get as a reason is that because men are stronger, women can't defend themselves against them, so they have no right to EVER hit a woman, even if she's hitting him. But when I point out that if a man cannot ever hit a woman back, that leaves the man even more defenseless against a woman than a woman against a man, so a woman should never hit a man either, these women strongly disagree. It makes no sense.

Thank goodness enough of my truly open minded women friends do see it and get it completely.

Yet it astounds me how many others still insist otherwise. I was told by one about insisting women not hit men either, "Sometimes you get so mad you can't help yourself, it's not realistic to expect a woman to have that much self control! We're only human beings, you know!" To which I answered, "Men are only human beings too, but you expect US to control OURSELVES, right?! If YOU can't do it yourself why do you insist that WE MUST? If WE'RE expected to control ourselves, YOU should be expected to as well". Her reply was, "But that's different". After a quarter hour of going around and around her circular logic (Why is it different? Because a man shouldn't hit a woman! Why? Because men are stronger, a woman can't defend herself against a man! Okay. Then if a man can't defend himself against a woman because he can't hit back, she similarly shouldn't hit a defenseless man! But that's different! Why? Because a man should never hit a woman! Why? Because men are stronger so a woman can't defend herself against one! Around and around we go forever with that same, never ending circular argument). I eventually gave up trying to reason with her.

Others fall back on, "It'wrong because it's wrong.", or "It's just wrong, but hitting a man is completely different." Why is it different? "Because it is!" Yeah, THAT'S a rational argument!

I've asked these women who do hit men from time to time but "feel" a man should NEVER hit them back, "Would you hit an angry man with a gun on his hand?" Those same women all told me they would not hit an armed man like that because he might shoot them if they did! This tells me that they only hit men because they believe they won't be retaliated upon (primarily because a man shouldn't hit women). When they think hitting a man could have repercussions, THEN they would never DARE. So, clearly, they only hit men BECAUSE men can't hit them back. If they thought men would hit them back these women wouldn't touch a man. So they only hit men BECAUSE they think the rules protect them from being hit back, BECAUSE men can't hit back--and they know it!

Now, unless it's in self defence, I'm adamantly against women EVER being hit by a man, but I ALSO expect the common courtesy and fairness of women extending the same behavior back to men. If WE can't hit back, please extend the courtesy of NOT hitting US?

IF MEN CAN'T HIT WOMEN, WOMEN HAVE NO RIGHT TO HIT MEN! PERIOD! It works BOTH WAYS.

It makes me respect and appreciate all of my many women friends who DO have open minds, who actually think rationally, not with only their "feelings", who realize they should be held to the same standards they expect others to be held to. These women don't insist they get a free pass on the rules others are required to follow just because of "female privilege". THESE women play FAIR!

The immense respect I have for these wonderful friends is truly overwhelming. They don't only apply FAIRNESS to THIS issue but do it because they are fair about just about everything else too. They are among the very best people I know, and I am so incredibly grateful to have these wonderful women in my life! The others...well those women are still my friends, but I certainly don't have that kind of respect for them.

But, again, thank goodness for the many who are not like them, thanks for great women friends I have made who play fair, the ones who think the rules apply to them too, the truly great women I know who enrich my life merely by being in it. The ones I respect more than I know how to put into words. I have amazingly great male friends too, but I never forget how incredibly lucky I am to have some of my favorite women in the world as my closest of friends.

I grew up (as we all did) with this double standard and seen it take place where a woman felt entitled. But im glad I never accepted it. When I was a kid , I always defended myself when a girl put her hands on me.

Boys/men need to be taught their value and that they have every right to protect themselves.

Thankfully nowadays I see that happening more and more.

Read about helot and spartans .

No, no, no. It's pronounced vaginas

I think it's a case of the usual double standard. In the current system, boys are seen as inherently violent and aggressive, so they are generally punished much more severely than girls. If arguments break out between girls and boys, it is often assumed the boy is responsible for starting them (and if there is evidence that the fight was started by the girl, the incident is often simply ignored and discarded). So there is a system that implicitly conveys the message that girls can, to a certain extent, get away with violence against boys without consequences, while boys face potentially serious consequences that worsen as they grow up.

Furthermore, the argument that boys are physically stronger than girls does not necessarily hold, at least not necessarily when it comes to younger boys. Boys begin to develop muscle mass during puberty, so for boys and girls before this period, the difference in physical strength is not necessarily obvious (although it depends on the individual case, and whether some are more athletic than others).

It is also important to consider that boys begin puberty one or two years later than girls. This means that some young teenagers may not yet be as physically strong as they seem, and some girls might have an advantage in certain situations. In fact, it is no coincidence that mixed tournaments, including combat sports like wrestling, are still organized during this age, where girls of the same age and with equivalent training to boys can still manage to win (adding that psychologically girls will be told to be comfortable to hit hard while boys might be encouraged to show some restraint). It is only at the end of puberty, when adolescents are older and have finished their development, that they gain a significant advantage in terms of physical strength compared to girls (and even then, this must be considered on a case-by-case basis and take into account any sports training of both girls and boys).

Yeah they’ve got hella plot

Just fight for this double standard. At least it just old-fashioned etiquette and not a strict law. The law is people can not hit people at the first time, and people that get a hit have right to defend themselves regardless of gender race, status, etc.

Unique_Magician6323 · 2026-01-26T20:54:43+00:00

Boys aren't allowed to hit girls because of the potential for brain injury. Girls are allowed to hit boys because society has determined it's funny and that women shouldn't be held accountable for their actions.

Saebert0 · 2026-02-21T18:52:53+00:00

They aren’t. If it happens to you collect evidence discretely, then bring it to the police.

She will likely make up lies about you at that point, which is really why you need the evidence.

WeStandWithMen · 2026-01-28T08:27:40+00:00

Because society and law still operate on a gender bias that assumes women are always victims and men are always aggressors. A girl hitting a boy is often trivialized as “harmless” or “emotional,” while a boy defending himself is quickly labeled violence or abuse. Legally, assault is assault, gender does not change the offence, but enforcement and social perception remain unequal.

OffTheRedSand · 2026-01-25T05:25:36+00:00

a 14 year old boy can take down a grown woman easily.

it's not that women are allowed to hit boys, no one should be allowed to hit anyone and it's assault regardless, but men can sometimes not know how strong they are in comparison to women that can take a life with their bare hands. women can't do that to men.

dankeykang4200 · 2026-01-25T09:45:52+00:00

Yeah well there are certain things that men can do to women and get away with that wouldn't work out too well for a woman trying the same thing. It's all violence and it's all wrong.

The truth is that anyone can have plot armor. It takes a lot of schmoozing bullshitting type behavior, but anyone can learn how to do it. That shit comes at a cost though. Everything does.
