we tend to show bias towards the victims. even if those women started it, they shouldn't have been beaten... by men. if you're a man, you don't touch a woman unless it's self defense.
you really come off as some kind of edgy teen douche. are you an edgy teen douche?
That guy is a troll, and he's not even good at it. The faux high road crap is giving him away.
because it's impossible that someone in the 21st century has actual morals? you people are fucked.
I was talking about the dude siding with the guys who beat up two women. Hes a troll. Sorry for not being more clear on that... I just didn't want to tag him and give him more attention.
my bad
Np!
We don’t know who the victim is
All we know is the woman claims to be the victim and the men claim to be the victim
Equality, you don’t touch anyone unless it’s self defence
the victim is the WOMAN, how was beaten mercilessly by a GROUP OF MEN. jesus christ, people. only in a morally bankrupt society would this even be a question.
Weird then that you would advocate this
When presumably some of those people would be women
women aren't a fey creature that is innately good.
also, i don't see a long term solution for humanity that doesn't involve cracking a few eggs to make an omelet. it's a simple trolley dilemma.
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?
