My big sister said to me they hit you because they know you will not hit them back.
I remember years ago a girl hitting some guy or pushing him and he socked her back. Violence is never the answer but we gotta get it out of our culture. I'm okay in relation to sporting events like boxing or MMA but the way we think it's okay on the footy field for instance to me isn't on. You can't use violence to resolve issues.
Girls hitting men and men responding by returning serve to me is abhorrent in so many ways.
Something that makes my blood boil @Earl is movies that show a woman slapping a bloke across the face
and of course he doesn't retaliate.
I wonder how many wacky women on seeing that then think it's ok for them to do that?
I copped a couple of good slaps in my time.
Any woman who does that @cochise is just as bad as any bloke hitting a woman.
Plus, they leave themselves open to spur of the moment un-thinking retaliation.
Also they could be trying to provoke the bloke into retaliation then run to the Police with a black eye saying they have been assaulted.
In my youngers years I probably said some things that I shouldn't have, so no real problems from me on the couple of slaps I received. Taught me some much needed lessons about how to treat people. Dad gave me a couple of hidings that taught me some good lessons as well.
Yes, I remember you saying Cochise in another post how you had been treated by your father...not good!
My family lived in a semi attached home when I was a kid, and I could hear the kid next door screaming when he was being belted by his father with a strap, the same as you were.
Absolute animals any parent that treats their kid that way, and I still feel hatred for school teachers that caned some kids excessively when I was at school 60 years ago.
No, my Dad is a great man and the person I respect most in this world. He did give me a good clip one day when I called him probably the worst word in our vocab that I can not write here or I would have to delete my own post. I was acting all tough and grown up, at 16 when in front of my mates I called him something I never should have. He did put a quick light tap on my chin when I said it, I turned and ran because my dad wasn't a guy anyone messed around with.
I'm actually glad he did it, I learnt that that is not a word that I use that day. I have never really used the word again since, I also learnt that if I wanted to pretend to be a man or be seen as a man than I had to accept the consequences of my actions.
