Quote:I 100% agree with your way of thinking.  I think we are on the same page, and it even gives a little bit of credit to his point.  If a woman is seriously harming you, defend yourself.  I would consider those situations extremely rare.

 

Lets take my wife for instance....we get in an arguement and she starts hitting me.  I can easily hold her down, leave the situation until the situation calms down.  If she starts hitting me and I hit her back, she isnt getting up and could possible die. 

 

I would rather walk away and defuse the situation. 

 

And this is if she is attacking you, simply holding her down and walking away is the best result to diffuse the situation.

 

There is no good out of striking back.

 

 

Quote:Not really, you see it in all aspects of life from differing standards for military fitness to the whining about "equal pay for equal work" when the truth is that women don't work the same as men. If women want to be treated like men then they should expect to be treated like men. Throw a punch? You deserve what you get. Why don't you people want women to have equal responsibilities for their equal rights? Very paternalistic of you. The truth is that women DON'T want equality with men, they want all the privilege with none of the responsibility. This girl was playing ball with the boys, tried to be one by throwing a punch but shouldn't have to deal with the repercussions of doing so? Balderdash.

 

So did Bethel suffer any injuries from her hit?

 

I would be careful if I was you with this response. It is coming off as sexist and or male chauvinism.

 

Quote:Ol' JFC and I haven't seen eye to eye on a lot, but here we agree.
