Your words, not mine, woke lib!
Lol. Yep. Equal rights are equal rights - this makes women as punchable as men.
Which doesn't say much because we kinda shouldn't punch people without reason anyway.

If you swing on someone expect for them to swing back.
You hope that they'll be reasonable and proportion the violence in return in equal measures to what you delivered.
Sometimes you hit the guy with PTSD he flips out in absolutely rocks. Your s*** though.
This is why you don't hit people. You don't know what they're going to do. Humans are animals and sometimes they have issues.
It's a reason to not hit people I suppose, but it really shouldn't be the reason. Like just don't resort to violence because violence is bad?
...or you don't hit people because, generally, why would you?
There was some sub on Reddit (not beatingwomen, but same vibe) that constantly had videos of women slapping or smacking a guy and then getting absolutely cold-cocked in retaliation and it was always so gross to me. Like damn dawg you were really just waiting for the opportunity.
It’s fine to not want people to smack or slap you, but proportional response exists and knocking someone out over a slap ain’t it. I can’t help but wonder how much violence that encourages to just have stuff like that dropped into the feeds of millions of people.
People love to see a woman put in her place. If you watch courtroom footage videos you'll see a similar pattern- like 50-75% of reccomended and highly watched videos are just "this woman sucks, watch her get put in her place"
And the other videos aren't "man gets put in his place", they're other groups someone might have issues with or that might be high profile and significant- cops, lawyers, judges, landlords, tennants. Bonus points if you're also a woman. But if you're a woman it doesn't matter what group you're in, you can be cast as the villain.
By the law of large numbers, there will always be more examples of women as the villains, and even if videos casting men as villains get posted, theres a way in which the algorithm will surface those that validate peoples resentment towards women. And over time, that impacts what kinds of things get posted in the first place, because the ones where women get put in their place do well.
And theres a way the fact that its always women who are the villain in the eyes of the algorithmically warps your perception of people. If you scroll through that reddit feed for an hour it'd be unsurprising to walk away thinking women might be shithead instigators of violence, but it would be hard for that to more severely misrepresent violence women are involved in. Now imagine how being on reddit for years and years and just getting exposed to those innocuously on r/all effects you.
The algorithm picks what's engaging to people, and people are DEEPLY engaged by seeing a woman put in her place. If you learn to recognize the pattern you can see how algorithms warp our understanding of the world offline

That’s the one, Christ almighty what a name. I wonder if it ever got banned or if it’s still going? (No way I’m checking to find out)
I'm more in the side of equal right equal fights. Man or woman if you assault someone expect to get hit back.
A normal dude slapping a construction worker is also likely to get laid out flat. Same logic between most men and women. Everyone is built different and if your goanna swing be prepared for the other person to not hold back.
But the rise of videos glorifying it is disgusting. It goes well beyond equality, reason or fair defense of self.
It's just fucking glorifying violent for the sake of it most of the time. It's awful.
And to be clear I'm not saying if someone slaps you, you break their nose or some shit. Reasonable response when possible and it almost always is.
But violence spirals fast and hard. And some people are genuinely a lot more jumpy then others. You never know what the other person's idea of a proportional response is going to be till after you swing.
That first response is very rarely. One out of rational thought. And trying to judge that first response as if it did have rational thought in it is typically not fair.
Now if they keep swinging or something that's clearly gone beyond that initial. Oh s*** swing response.
Context matters.
In my lifetime, most bigotries have been in decline. But misogyny is bad and getting worse. Those Reddit videos, as far as I can tell, are just feeding some desire that some dudes have to hit women. That shit didn't come from a few posters, it didn't even come from a few subs; but it made it to the frontpage almost every day.
Weak men are violent to women because they're pitiful. The man who dreams of a woman to control has given up on the idea of a woman to love. And the idea that a woman could love him. When I was young, people like this were ashamed. Incel culture is like a pride parade for loosers and pussies.
Yeah. I thought it was gonna be him slapping her back or something, but no, she's slapping him and he absolutely rocks her shit for it.
Man on man, that would be grossly disproportionate. I dont know why its different when its a woman.
The counter argument is always, I have a gun, try me. Then actually have a gun. People like that only survive on other people's kindness and never learn how worthless they are until they need help. Then they run to the worthless camp and cry.
how can she slap?
Equal rights equal fights
Equal rights mean equal lefts.
You can try.
There's too many levels of irony too this Meme to be sure. What argument is it making?
