I guess you’ve never been physically assaulted by a women, or met a women who just does entirely seriously believe its ok for them to hit a man. I have. I just guarded, blocked, and escaped the situation, called and reported an assault. My idea, my thinking was that it is so obvious that men are capable of and do enact violence against women that … we could take that for granted, and try to add something to the conversation that doesn’t get talked about as often, despite that it does happe nearly as often. Being a violent bully isn’t sex exclusive.

Same, a few women have escalated to hitting me in an argument. I might have been being a dick. I might not have. I didn’t hit them back, but when I was in a relationship with them, I told them that if they ever hit me again, that would be the end of the relationship.

I guess you’ve never been physically assaulted by a woman No, I haven’t and I have no idea what point you’re trying to make. What you’re saying has no relation to what I said. I said that no one is seriously trying to justify assaulting people for no reason, not that violence is somehow sex exclusive. Maybe you replied to the wrong comment?

So what? Why do you think that the convo needs to shift to feeling sorry for men now? We get it. You’re a big strong karateka. But if you’d been a woman fighting a man there’s a high chance you wouldn’t be writing this comment, because you’d be fucking dead. But hey we men need to double down on the self-pity and try to both-sides every single discussion about gendered violence, instead of admitting that our gender has a huge violence issue and we need to do something about it. You’ve completely missed the point of op’s meme.
