My feminist goddaughter think it's a woman's right to hit a man when she feels like it. When I replied that "anybody" who hits "anybody" regardless who they are should expect to get hit back, she told her mom that I advocated violence towards women.

During a family gathering last night my god daughter and one of my nieces were talking about girls hitting their boyfriends and thinking it was funny. My god daughter said that any girl had the right to hit any guy she chooses because she can't really hurt him.

I told her that nobody should be hitting anybody, regardless of who they are.

She gave a me a scowling look and told me that "if a woman wants to hit a guy, a guy should be man enough to take it and basically shake it off. Something to that extent. If he gets hurt then he should question his masculinity".

I'm sorry but with that kind of toxic feminist mentality I was not going to let her way of thinking influence my niece.

So I reversed it on her and I asked her how she felt about a man hitting a woman. And of course her answer is "fuck that".

I looked at my niece and told her "don't ever hit a guy. If you do, expect to get hit back."

My god daughter answered "so it's okay to hit a woman if a woman hits a man?"

I said, "it's not okay to hit anybody. But if you do, whoever you hit expect to get retaliated. People will have a flight or fight response in them. You have a 50/50 chance of either the other person fights or walks away".

She rudely dismissed me and said that what I said is bullshit.

This morning, her dad called me and told me that his daughter told her mom and him that I advocate hitting women and both her mom and her think I am a giant POS and are embarrassed that I am her god father.

I told her dad what happened and I felt the sympathy in his voice.

He ended the conversation by saying "at least you don't have to live with them".
