I’m not sure people are celebrating it so much as they are saying “well what the fuck did you expect when you hit a cop?”
Edit: By saying it should be expected, I’m not defending his actions as reasonable or holding them up as good policing practice. I think American police culture is too quick to resort to violence and is horrible at de-escalating situations. But, that all goes into why I said it should be expected. I’m not saying it should be accepted or condoned, only that I fully expect an American cop to hit you back if you hit them.
Males tend to be larger and physically more dominant than women. It isn't an even playing field when it comes to the ability to enact physical violence.
The comment that you replied to is a BS stereotype of women playing off this idea. Your characterization is a viewpoint that many males have a genuinely hard time taking, using an entirely different definition of "strong".
Funny enough, physical strength is not the same as resistance to concussion, life isn't a video game and that kinda attitude is why DV against men is acceptable in many circles because it's "cute" and men don't deserve to live lives free of abuse apparently.
This all probably sounded good in your head but between the provincial attitude regarding domestic violence and the victim blaming, you're just coming off like a fucking tool.
Uh huh. No point against anything I said, just insulting me, then my opinion and then me again?
Nope - my point was obviously that you're stumping hard for attitudes that are detrimental to society and ignorant of the biochemistry behind abusive relationships. Was that not clear?
Blaming victims of domestic abuse for not "manning up" illustrates that you don't understand anything about domestic violence, cycles of abuse, or how oxytocin-driven interpersonal connections drive people to cling to their abusers because of fostered dependence and threats of reprisal.
That's why you're making yourself look like a fucking tool - because you think this is something people should just wake up one day and get better from: "just boost your self-worth," as if it's the easiest thing in the world to re-write your brain chemistry via placebo effect!
This multiparagraph screed filled with hypothetical examples of people who've "manned up" isn't helping your argument in the slightest.
Gosh, I must sound like such a tool!
I guess in your mind I should have struck my ex and broken her jaw after she hit me the first time? That woulda shown the bitch! Right?
Lets use another example. If I make a copy of the "I hate niggers" sign from die hard 3, then tattoo swastikas on my arms and forehead, then go down to a local gang hangout in Chicago, do you think I deserve no blame for what happened when I'm shot? See what I mean?
I see that you have serious emotional control problems. Seek help.
A woman would also not dare to hit a man in pretty much all of history, because they arent as physically strong. They get away with it now because retaliating is looked down upon. If you want to make the argument that we should protect women because we've done it for 50.000 years or whatever, then they should also act the way they've done for these 50.000 years.
If you want to act like a man and initiate violence against a man, get hit like a man. I do think a police officer should show restraint, whether it's a man or a woman, but in pretty much every other scenario it's her own damn fault she got hit and the person hitting her did nothing wrong.
I totaly agree with you. Women are weak and helpless who can do no harm. A punch or a finger in that mans eye will just bounce of since she is just a simple woman. I'm not sure why she is even allowed out of the house the suns dangerous ultraviolet light can hurt her fragile woman skin.
Idc of its a girl or a guy or an animal. If something attacks me I will retaliate with full force. You should just start giving your feminist rant will somebody shanks you. It will work great. Lol.
*B-but he was a man he wasn’t supposed to do this to m”
She could have blinded him in one eye. I used to know this really "tough" bitch who liked to drink and fight men. Her fingernail punctured and eye once and she did like 2 years. She was definitely a threat.
