This is my commentary on the "bus driver uppercuts female passenger" story. The common norm that you may never hit a women no matter what may seem positive at first glance, but if we take a closer look it's just another form of sexism.
In fact it discriminates against both men and women: Men are portrayed as the aggressive, dangerous gender which must restrain its violent tendencies, while women are portrayed as weak and vulnerable.
Doesn't it make more sense to judge the individual situation and the actual people involved? What if a strongly built woman beats up a skinny guy? Shouldn't he be allowed to defend himself, or at least try to? Or what if the man and woman involved are about the same build and likely equally strong and fit?
Over-generalizing rules and categories just don't always work. Sexism and fanatical feminism are definitely not the right answer. True equality of all genders is what we need.
If girls are weaker, then they should not be tough enough to start a fight with a guy. Everyone has a boiling point. There is always something a person will do to you that will trigger you to hit them. White knights and manginas thinks with their rotten small dicks. . .
You're right actually, there are different studies with different results, some suggesting a higher pain tolerance for either women or men, others concluding that there is no difference. Pretty confusing.
When I was a kid, I used to end up hitting girls sometimes, typically girls who were, at that time, at least as strong as me. I've known girls that were stronger than me, and better able to fight, but as an older person, if i hit them(after being attacked by them) then this would be a serious problem. It seems to me to be sexist to say that females can't fight men and that men are stronger and shouldn't hit back. It's sexist to women and it's sexist to men.
I agree. On a Blue sky sunny day with all the stars and moons in perfect alignment.... no, a male should not hit a lady. Everything else is on a case by case basis. Good example: If a lion comes out of the wild and kills/eating humans, then animal is considered dangerous and must be killed. If an idiotic MAN visits a zoo and thinks he can become friends with a lion and jumps over the fence to meet one and gets killed by his actions...... not the lion's fault.
i know this wasn't your point, but the lion shouldn't be killed because it break out the zoo its going to eat no matter if you run at it or it runs at you.
You make a great point. It pisses me off how people say we're not allow to discriminate women, yet society says we're not allow to punch women? Don't get me wrong, punching anyone in the face with bad judgement is assault PERIOD. Not all women aren't weak, there're MMA fighters and wrestlers who can kick a guy's ass. I gotta another question for people to answer: What if the person was a transsexual or a transvestite?
The few studies I've come across suggest men have a higher pain tolerance than women, but that within both groups, there are significant differences that can be attributed to gender roles. I've also come across a study suggesting that there is no significant difference between the sexes.

Woman attacks me, I attack her.
Simple.
Seriously... If an individual doesn't want to be physically harmed, don't harm others. I don't understand why is this such an issue with society.
