Men commit far more violence against women than the other way around and that is a FACT. ACCEPT IT. Men are far physically stronger than women. A hit from a woman can barely cause any damage while a hit from a man could seriously hurt a woman. That’s why that whole "don’t hit girls" thing came from and that’s why man on woman violence is taken more seriously than woman on man violence. Its really not that hard to figure out.
Quit being such a crybaby. Most women do deserve a good smack upside the head every once and a while.
"A hit from a woman can barely cause any damage while a hit from a man could seriously hurt a woman." — That isn’t an universal truth. I meet women (in my gym) who are stronger than many men and who can cause serious damage to men if/when provoked.
Who’s surprised? Whats the question? I don’t think there’s a man on the planet that would disagree with the fact men commit far more violence against women than the other way around.
It’s because we’re equals.
All of society may have not realized that yet, but society’s lack of realization does not change the facts, and that is that men and women are equal. A woman can do anything a man can some can even do a lot of things much better than a man can.
*Know It All* Does make a point though.
I have seen some pretty buffed up females at the gym, and I would run a mile were they coming at me..lol
It is true though, men do seem to be the biggest culprits for this, but what’s more of a worry, is when they are the ones suffering, they won’t tell for fear of looking weak.
Many a time a man has taken his own life, and all because the poor b*stard thought he would be sneered at for not protecting himself, or called a liar.
That’s not on either, and it’s just wrong.
List sources or be quiet wennch!!!
Don’t make me do something I’ll regret!!!
Well, let’s be honest. You are generalizing, but yes men DO commit far more violence against women rather than the other way around. I am agreeing on that. And yes, there are some women who could knock some men into the middle of next week. (Myself being one of them). But I think the real problem here is the fact that some men have higher amounts of testosterone than others and some have the bonus of a bad temper. A bad combination for abuse, as testonsterone causes aggressive behavior. Psychological problems combined with high testosterone levels are often to blame for rape, murder and beatings that men give.
I think that’s the real reason why some men are violent and others are not. Men and women alike have levels of both testosterone and estrogen in us. A chemical imbalance in the brain combined with hormones can be the real culprit. And I would say in that in most cases, a man could cause a woman more physical damage than a woman would to him due to a physical strength issue and also the hormonal aspect. If most women do not have the strength to lift cars and they also lack the higher levels of testosterone, then she is far less likely to exhibit aggressive behavior and possess the physical strength to carry out her actions. But not all men hit and not all men are stronger than women.
That is also a FACT.
This is a loaded question with many false assertions, indeed. Firstly, this notion that men commit more violent acts against females is a function of autopsy data and self report. There’s a major probelm here since the vast amount of violence does not result in homicide. Secondly, the data that’s acquired via self-report methodology is very weak since men are known to vastly under-report violence on the part of women.
I am a very slight man and can easily be injured by most women. I am not very powerful and even the most petite women can render me unconscious by a simple blow to my head. I have the physique of a pigeon. If a women were repeatedly be injuring me, I would be embarrassed to approach to authorities about it because they would say that at my height and size, that it’s unlikely that a woman could injur a man of my size. But the fact remains, that I am very passive and am not good at defending myself against the ferocious blows inflicted by women. When women injur me, often it leads to hospitalization where I simply state that I fell down the stairs lest they discover the embarrassing truth that I am a wuss and can’t defend meself. Men as weak as me are easily injured by ladies but are too embarrassed to admit it so the data does not take this fact into account, even though I am six foot tall and 195 lbs.
When a woman attacks me, I immediately cry and assume a foetal (fetal) position for fear of injury to my skull.
Agreed.
The only problem I have with the feminist argument about not having to take female violence seriously is they seem to assume a kind of a fight scenario. In a real fight where both participants have preknowledge of what’s coming, a woman stands very little chance of hurting a man who has any idea what he’s doing.
However, sucker attacks are a whole different matter. A man has to sleep and cannot always be aware of his surroundings in entirety. This keeps reminding me of the case of a man who got boiling grease thrown on him by his significant other when he was sleeping and he died in the hospital after some time in intensive care. Physical strength does not save you from that. That is only one chilling thing out of many that can happen.
And if we assume a scenario where an unarmed woman does something like kick a man in the groin for example, then he may still be able to pummel her but that does not take away from the fact that he may still be seriously injured and that’s why being the last one standing is not good enough; why female on male violence must not be seen as a fair fight scenario which it is not.

Just because you can beat up your attacker does not mean it is not bad to be attacked.
Could a 100 lbs man be immuned from prosecution if he attacks a 250 lbs man? NO.
-Could any woman be immuned from prosecution if she attacks any man? YES.
Couud any man be in big trouble if any woman, (for any reason, without any evidence), accuses him of assaulting her? YES.
Is that FAIR? ANSWER:Direct quote from you: "Its really not that hard to figure out."
It shouldn’t just be "don’t hit girls",but "don’t hit people in general".
Also should I assume that you’re a female?
While I do agree that physically are weaker,but that doesn’t mean that they have every right to use that as an excuse for when committing something against a guy.
Well actually, some women can cause damage. But you’re right. There is also a lot of violence against men too, but most of that is coming from other men.
"Men commit far more violence against women than the other way around and that is a FACT"
No, that is a LIE. "Research in the field of domestic violence over the past 25 years has generally shown that men and women act violent in relationships at about the same rate. Furthermore, men and women are equally likely likely to instigate violence against each other. The truth is surprisingly egalitarian: about half of of all domestic violence occurs with both partners abusing each other."
————————————————————
"A hit from a woman can barely cause any damage while a hit from a man could seriously hurt a woman."
This overlooks the FACT that women who abuse men typically use some type of weapon (like a knife or a pot of boiling water0, that DOES create serious damage, and negates any advantage that being stronger might give someone. Also, you are over looking the FACT that women who abuse men often wait until the guy is drunk or asleep before abusing him.
Besides, repetitive slapping will cause damage eventually, even if each individual slap is relatively harmless.
Bottom line, you shouldn’t hit people if you expect them NOT to hit you back. Stop being a sexist pig spreading feminist lies just so that you can keep abusing your boyfriend.
Ok! so by your logic, men should just use the same amount of force a woman used on him, to retaliate against her? Problem solved right? No more gender discrimination.
Where is your evidence? Don’t have any do you?
"Violence against women" implies DV, and in that regard you are absolutely wrong.
Here’s my evidence: This is an annotated list of over 250 scholarly papers published within the last 30 years, all saying the same thing, that women commit more unreciprocal violence against their male partners, and in reciprocal violence start it more often than men. Women are responsible for at least 50% of DV abuses.
