"That’ll teach him to be rude" - Another example of Feminism's one-sided equality

This isn't equality. This is women thinking they have a right to be catered to after years of demanding that they be treated no differently from men.

I almost wish he fought back, but then he'd probably be locked up for life while they collect emotional-damage checks. xP

If one looks this in the abstract, Chivalry does rear its head, even in this situation. The man did not physically assault these women with full force. He tried to fend them off by throwing water at them. Assuming he's a normal sized guy, he could have really went to town to defend himself. But, he didn't.

This isn't any kind of feminism I know. This isn't how women in general behave. This is an instance where 2 women decided to be idiots.

letsgocrazy · 2010-04-28T00:51:30+00:00

This is bullshit. This is two humans acting like cunts.

amoshendershott · 2010-04-28T06:39:35+00:00

This doesn't strike me as an issue of feminism. Just two stupid women being mean.

Who said the women were feminists?

catlebrity · 2010-04-28T10:21:59+00:00

I think you've confused "feminism" with "the idiotic behavior of two random obnoxious women."

Where exactly is the feminism in this? Reading the article, I get the picture of two anti-feminist women who beat up a guy.

neofool · 2010-04-27T21:44:15+00:00

So if you hold the door open for a women they may take offense and if you don't hold the door open they make take offense...shit.

Hey, I believe in Equality. I'd hit back and kick them while they are on the ground until they can't get up! And then I'd kick them both one more time to make sure they understand.

What a ridiculous stance the authoress took. Can you imagine an article written by a man about a female domestic abuse victim being headlined, "That'll teach her not to have dinner on the table when he's home from work."

Surprising that the woman who assulted him were black.

What does this have to with feminism? This is just two bitches acting out of line. Feminism is about equality for all not to "teach" men lessons.

catOrmOuse · 2010-04-27T20:44:31+00:00

Idiots are idiots, be they male or female. I fail to see any relevance to MR here. If they get a pass in court then we can bring it up for discussion.

I'm in support of MensRights for most all that goes on here. Raising awareness, discussing issues, huzzah I love it. But this? What?

Feminism is not about one-sided equality. It is defined as the theory of the political, economic, and social equality of the sexes and well as organized activity on behalf of women's rights and interests. Feminism is about equal rights. I'm sure that a lot of folks here on MR have heard this. Equality of the sexes and not female superiority is the name of the game. Loads of other definitions exist, but the foundation is always equality for the sexes (all of them. This includes women).

This article is a description of a couple of whack jobs assaulting some poor soul. Just because the whack jobs were women and the victim was a man does not mean that feminism is for one-sided equality (???!). Where is the logic in that? The aggressors in this article were "teaching" their victim a "lesson" that had to do with their violent natures... social equality has nothing to do with this act of violence. Feminism does not mean that males hold elevator buttons for females (read: inequality). I had always thought it was just a universal norm that if someone were to be running toward an elevator and a person inside it were to notice, courtesy dictates that the Inside Person push the Open Door button. Some gal thinking that some guy was rude doesn't have a damn thing to do with feminism. That opinion has only to do with feelings of entitlement.

Not only does noting in the article even mention feminism, to assume that the assault and battery described had anything to do with feminism would be to assume that these women were acting in the spirit of/on behalf of feminism despite no supporting evidence that they care about anyone's rights at all. Applying that logic is pretty scary. I would be a fool to assume that some male aggressor to be acting on behalf of mens rights if he assaulted a woman; the OP is a fool to think that these women were representing feminist views.

I really do love you guys, but what the fuck? No logic. hsadkfhasdf

Oprah, et. al., encourage this kind of behaviour.

I know how to turn the other cheek, but it doesn't make me a punching bag. You spit on me, and the gloves come off.

I'm no whipping boy. I feel sorry for this guy.

As this article statnds, so far, two jerks who happened to be women beat up someone who happened to be a man. There's no evidence this was gender-based at all.

Grats, though, guys, on beating the feminists into politicizing it into a gender-based crime.

Sarstan · 2010-04-28T05:12:47+00:00

I was really expecting to see in the end that the police hauled off the man and sent the two women on their way.
