Watch as feminists start to shout for equal rights.

look at the size of that dude compared to that chick. and apparently she was only 15? i'm all for self defense but i mean, i don't know out a little kid when they kick me do i? you can't call it self defense when the odds of the other person actually hurting you are almost nil.

but at the same time i guess when your balls get involved it's understandable to see red. also everyone saying YEAHHH BITCH THATS WHAT YOU GET FOR TRYING TO ACT LIKE A MAN!!! YOU WANT EQUAL RIGHTS THATS WHAT YOU GET, take a minute to just look at what you're saying
[QUOTE=S31-Syntax;42756261]How about "start get, get shit"
Okay, yes its obvious she missed, but she showed enough hostile intent to attempt it. I'll lay money that if he hadn't reacted to it she'd have tried again until he reacted.[/QUOTE]
i don't think if someone swings in your direction and misses you should necessarily hit them back. it'd be more reasonable to say "hey, kindly fuck off" and remove yourself from the situation
this is coming from someone who's been in this situation before

[QUOTE=GaLm;42756301]Uh? She edged her way over and purposely attempted to kick his gonads, and in an [B]immediate[/B] response he hit her back. I doubt he went through some long process weighing how masculine it'd be to punch her, you never know how you're going to act in a tense situation such as that. She initiated with the lowest of blows and then continued hostility after his quick response, it doesn't even matter what gender people are when you're that stupid.[/QUOTE]
notions of what it is to be a man are what shape your immediate reactions. its a really simple thing called socialization. taught in high school. and I know it doesn't matter what gender the initial aggressor was - there's no reason to hit someone that hard after they try and fail to kick you. had she pulled out a knife or a gun or whatever? sure. but a failed drunken attempt at a kick? lol, that's just silly.

and honestly i'm pointing more at the fact that shouting off "THIS IS EQUALITY!!" is a ridiculous assertion that's damaging to both men and women. thanks for boiling down what it means to be a dude to punching someone in the face when they swing at you, painting us all as silly little aggressive idiots
[QUOTE=Killuah;42758290]Yes I'd be beaten to death by that girl.
Or I'd look what happens, mind my own stuff and if she doesn't give up, dodge her attacks.
There's a difference between defence and punching back.[/QUOTE]
Stand up for yourself once in a while. Where's your confidence and self-worth?
I like how she was dumb enough to hit the guy [I]a second time[/I] when he'd clearly proven that he had no qualms against hitting her right back. Like, surely the first time would be enough of a warning?

It is so easy to mark out a perfect response after something has happened. Especially seeing as he immediately reacted rather than you sitting in your desk chair thinking about what to do instead of having a quarter of a second to react.
Imagine if she fell backwards through the broken window and got stabbed by glass shards.
That wouldn't end well.

My confidence and selfworth lies in the fact that I don't need to resort to counterviolence because I can control myself and live in a society that provides tools and means to sort this out in a much better way.

There comes a time where you need to defend yourself. You can't just rely on others / "tools" when someone is trying to hurt you, you do what is necessary to make sure that you aren't in harms way.

naive as shit
[QUOTE=cepko33;42756434]It's always reassuring to go on Facepunch and observe the celebration of violence against women. Was she, in her current state, going to kill the guy or hurt him in a lasting way? No. All of those people surrounding her would make sure that any cheap shots she dealt would remain pretty tame. The question is, who can inflict more damage in an instant, the dude in green or her?[/QUOTE]
If you are against violence to women, why aren´t you against violence to men?

what reality do you even live in

Punching back is not defending.
By your logic you'd be running away because that is the most simple and harmless action to "make sure that you aren't in harms way"

[QUOTE=fireball397;42777903]what reality do you even live in[/QUOTE]
One where I try not to use violence. One where I have a lawyer.
Hopefully one where smart people are more powerful than brute violent people.
And if not at least I know that "punch back when someone punches you" is not the way to create one.
If Killuah owned a castle, it would be the easiest conquest ever.
He'd just dodge for a bit and then run away.
Possible reason to bring this thread back?
