^^^ There is indeed a big difference between a woman beater and a woman deserving a cold sock for whatever-what.
Imo, here's the difference, though. If a guy gets all up in my face inviting a combo to the nose and jaw, he might very well get that. It's on some 50/50 shit, it's equal, right.
Now if a woman gets all up in my face inviting left-right jab's to the chin, there's the temptation but you shove the bitch or do whatever, you don't hit her.
It's very hard for me to accurately describe what Im trying to convey here. It's like, the only time I can ever condone hitting a woman is if she is trying to hit/hurt you (and might actually succeed).
Also, it's not purely a matter of sex. You're much less likely to coldcock a 6'5 250 lbs boxer than you are a 5'5 140 lbs bookworm. They're both guys, but one is scary.
Now if some huge 6'3 200 lbs bitch is in your face, spitting and cursing and slapping, she's more likely to recieve mr Knuckles than a tiny Asian grandmother.
It's got not that much to do with gender, anymore. It's an evaluzation of physical strength and toughness that makes me determine how much "honour" is there in hitting the subject. If you're in a fight with some tiny drunk dude, I might very well just push him down and sit on him while he chills the fuck out.
HOWEVER, at the end of the day they're still, physically, the weaker sex. And I do not go by the same rules for hitting guys than I do for hitting women. I can see where Ceasar comes from, and there's some merit to it, but imo you're taking the "equal thing" out of context. Equal treatment ain't got shit to do with beating on a woman, it's glass ceilings and whatnot.
Caesar said:
Either we say we cant hit anyone, or admit there are cases when someone needs to be hit, irrelevant of gender.
That is true. And it is in the eyes of the hitter that the determination should be made whether it's the right thing to take a swing.
Following on that, one also has to consider the way you interact with each other. The unwritten man-code simply states that as a human being with a cock and two balls, over the course of life you're more likely to get whacked in the face than a human who has tits and a cooch. Now you can go all equal-treatment but it ain't got shit to do with that. That's how we treat each other. That's how we handle our business. That's society.
At it's most banal, there should be no difference in gender for determing who oughta to get hit. But there's a catch.
Where do you draw the line? If gender shouldn't matter, should age? Hell, next time that annoying 8yr old neighbour kid is teasing you, go up to him and deliver that atomic uppercut. No distinction, right?
Then why doesn't it "seem right"? Exactly why it isn't right to hit a woman for some petty shit.
Simple fact is that the punching-threshold for men is just way lower. Ok. I can live with this. That's how nature dealt the hands, that's how society distributed them.
A man could expect a nosebreaker from me if he insults my family, a woman would need to pull some more heinous shit.
