But wasn’t that your argument?
no, it wasn't. feel free to ask me any question that would clarify my stance for you.
Why would you highlight their gender? If not to say they deserve elevated status
they deserve to not be bullied by an opponent who is physically more powerful than they are. good god, dude. do i seriously have to explain this concept? there's a reason why you're not supposed to hit a woman.
How does that align with this?
Says who? You just come off as extremely sexist. The line is “don’t hit PEOPLE”
well, at the risk of turning you away from understanding my point, i've decided that i'd like to hurl insults back: you come off as extremely short sighted and obtuse.
i agree with "don't hit people", but if you think a woman hitting you justifies you hitting her back and you're male, you're a piece of shit. restrain? sure. defend your own life by any means necessary? sure. but if your ego can't take getting slapped by a woman, you might be a fucking incel.
progressive and gentleman are not exclusive concepts. gender is asymmetrical balanced. men and women are not perfectly equal. they are asymmetrically equal. understand the difference, and understand that if i see you hit a woman in retaliation, i'm going to remove some of your teeth, punk.
You’re drawing lines where there is no need to have them
Just blatant sexism, an equal amount of force is going to dependent on you size and strength not your gender
You are assuming a man will always be stronger than a woman
Past thar though you already established you don’t believe it needs to only be in self defence as you argue for rounding up and exiling people
obviously there are exceptions to every rule. if big bertha comes at me with a giant ham fist, she might get hit back, but in the vast majority of cases, the male is physically dominant and therefore has a duty to use that power responsibly.
and yes, i advocate rounding up and exiling people that stand as obstacles to a better world. what's your solution?
