This turned up in my Instagram feed and it also brought up a graphic saying how a real man never raises his hand to a woman. I've always hated hearing this sort of nonsense about how women automatically deserve to be treated with respect and how you never physically strike at one no matter what. I feel good men and women alike deserve to be treated with respect and anyone of either gender if they're a good, respectable person deserve to be treated in a respectful matter. But what if the woman isn't worthy of respect? I don't believe a person deserves a certain kind of treatment just for being what they are and that respect is always both earned and given depending on one's character and conduct. I certainly dont have respect for women who act on female privilege and act like just because of their gender they can get away with saying and doing anything no matter how wrong, and I'm so fed up with women who get away with so much just because they're female. I have zero respect for women who are absolutely terrible people, and I certainly have no respect whatsoever for women like Ann Coulter, Tami Lahren, Dana Loesch, Kaitlin Bennett, Laura Ingraham, Marjorie Greene, etc.

What message does this send to boys, too? If you see a woman or girl behaving or conducting herself in an absolutely terrible way it's okay for her to do it because she's female and you've got no right to call her out for it? Worse yet, what if the woman is being physically threatening or violent, you just let her get away with it just because she's female and there's this notion ingrained in society that it's wrong for a man to strike a woman? This never sat well with me, not because I approve of striking a woman but because violence against anybody no matter their gender is wrong, and yet as a society we only ever focus on violence against women and ignore the fact women can be violent too and there's times women are being physically violent and threatening towards men where the man has every right to strike back and defend himself. Instead of this notion of how a real man never strikes a woman, how about a good person doesn't ever strike or hurt anybody who doesn't deserve it? If anybody no matter their gender is trying to harass or attack me in anyway you bet I'll stand my ground and defend myself, and if it happens to be a woman doing this then societal norms be damned.

I've been harassed, hurt and mistreated by women in the past and some of the worst bullies in school I ever had were girls. I still struggle with terrible memories of abuse I've suffered from women. Seeing this BS about how women deserve to be treated with respect just on the basis of being female and how you never strike or raise your hand to a woman or girl no matter what even in a situation where it's perfectly warranted, it always triggers me and I'm sick of seeing this. Don't respect women, just respect good people who deserve to be treated with respect and dignity. Gender is completely irrelevant when it comes to things like respect.
