This is obviously very upsetting. But I’d also like to know what y’all’s answers would be to the question on this meme. This is not something I advocate for I’m going to be transparent about that, I’ve just noticed things like this a lot on the internet and want to gain some perspective.
IMO there isn’t much to discuss about. Hit me, I hit you back. I don’t understand why I have an obligation to take care of an aggressor who hit me first. I’m not saying immediately kill the other person but it should be at least equal to what I had to take.
It doesn’t matter if it’s a man, woman or even another species.
One exception: The person has obvious reasons reasons like alcohol or substance abuse and is not able to think clearly what he/she is doing.
My parents teached me to not hit people in the first place. This is also a very good strategy to not get hit 😉
Nobody should be allowed to hit anybody without consent. And men shouldn’t be afraid of speaking up; abuse of men does happen.
That said, it’s not the primary direction in which abuse happens, so I’m not sure this is a healthy way to highlight the issue.
No one should be hitting anyone. Damn. Your parents didn’t teach y’all not to hit?
can we maybe not import the “equal rights, equal lefts” arguments from the dark half of reddit?
If someone is being battered, they have the right to defend themself with appropriate / proportional force, regardless of the gender of the assailant.
However, that said, you can be in the right and still be arrested, and public opinion tends to side with the woman in cases where the situation is nebulous, so maybe factor that into your decision.
Oh man it didn’t take long for the reddit rage bait to arrive :D
None, nobody should hit anybody as it violates the NAP, “Dont hit people and dont take their stuff”. With that said if someone aggresses against you i feel that you are justified in defending yourself with the minimum amount of force required to end the aggression. If a woman hits a man the first thing should be to attempt to walk away. If that does not work and the man is physically capable of restraining this woman he should do so as restraining would be enough force to stop the hitting.
