WinsomeDefiance -> RE: Why I stopped slapping my boyfriend in the face (9/16/2016 7:18:20 AM)
As a mother of four sons, I've been very distressed over the behavior of young women who seem to believe it is ok to hit my sons. My sons, who were taught not to hit a woman. My sons, who will not fight back, because not only were they taught to not hit a woman, but they know that if they do it is likely they are the ones who will be slapped in cuffs and charged with domestic violence. It is a double standard, it is wrong. I say this as a woman who believes in equality. My preference for my sons, is they keep their hands to themselves and not hit anyone; but I know that this isn't realistic for the most part. I want my sons to stand up for themselves, and what they believe is right. This means, despite my wish otherwise, that sometimes they have to fight back, and even strike out against wrong. However, with the double standard that exists, they can't really fight back when it is a woman hitting them. Respectmen is ridiculous in most of his myopic views regarding women - but in this instance, he brings up a valid concern. I was actually punched in the face when I stepped in between my son and his girlfriend; because she was beating him up. No, I didn't hit her back. My goal wasn't to get even, but to teach her what she was doing was wrong. I might have mentioned, in passing, that I do have at least 3 plants in my garden that are poisonous and if my son went to jail because of her, she was likely to spend hours if not weeks praying to die. I never claimed to be a saint.

Not insignificant, also is the number of male children who were taught that NO male should hit a female and wound up defending a female, being hit by a male and they got in trouble for it because of "zero tolerance" (which is bullshit on the face of it because they have "zero tolerance" for only certain things). Two of my sons were disciplined because they saw a boy, beating up on a girl (they were all young. Hence; my use of these descriptors) and did something about it. Michael

Michael You're preaching to the choir regarding 'zero tolerance'. My oldest son was suspended for smiling. I let that one go, because I knew he had a way of smiling that made a person want to just smack him. He was also suspended for 'taking up space.' That one I went to the principal and argued against. I told the principal my son wasn't going to be disciplined for obeying the laws of physics. He didn't miss more than a few minutes of school on that one. Zero Tolerance was, in my opinion, the very worst idea ever implemented by a school board and that is saying a whole hell of a lot. Personally, I believe it is wrong because it puts all of the fault on a child and does not require the authority figures making policy to use wisdom in their decision making.

Yeah, no. I think you can add "hypocrites" to the list of words you don't fully understand. It might be easier at this point to make a list of the words you actually do understand.

respectmen -> RE: Why I stopped slapping my boyfriend in the face (9/16/2016 3:30:21 PM)
Stef It's YOU who doesn't understand what "hypocrite" means. As the typical feminist, you always want bloody double standards. In this case, it's "pathetic" in your terms to make the complaint being made in this thread. If it was the other way around, you would be empathetic. You can claim all you want that you are all about equality and not double standards. But you always slip up by your own actions. Your actions tell the truth, not your words.

Nicky, what's pathetic is you whining about a problem that everybody here agrees with you on. As I already said you would be hard-pressed to find anybody who disagrees with the fact that nobody should slap anybody. That's what equality is. Do you understand that or do I need to get out the crayons? quote: You can claim all you want that you are all about equality and not double standards. But you always slip up by your own actions.

Why is it such a problem for you when this issue is raised? If it wasn't such a problem, you wouldn't be attacking the person who is presenting the point. quote: As I already said you would be hard-pressed to find anybody who disagrees with the fact that nobody should slap anybody. So why do you have a problem with this being raised? Would you be jumping in the thread and acting the same if the thread was the other way around?

Why is it such a problem for you when this issue is raised? If it wasn't such a problem, you wouldn't be attacking the person who is presenting the point. If you were actually looking for valid input on the topics you post instead of being a toxic little douche by saying things like: "You will be hard pressed to find a feminazi concerned about this particular issue." Maybe someone might take you seriously and you wouldn't get beaten like a piñata when you post here. quote: quote: As I already said you would be hard-pressed to find anybody who disagrees with the fact that nobody should slap anybody. So why do you have a problem with this being raised? Would you be jumping in the thread and acting the same if the thread was the other way around? There's no easy answer to that question. It depends on what was posted, who was posting it, their history here, and any number of other criteria.
