Heh. I remember hearing a very similar thing. “If you’re a guy and a girl challenges you to a fight, you’ll lose.” I think we are born with that flowchart practically stamped into our brains. If you beat her, you’re a mean guy. If you lose, you’re a wimp. We all know this thang. How do you beat the game, you ask? Come with me bro.
One time, this girl was trying to seriously fight me and, of course, the knights were around. You know the situation. she says I did something, I say no. fast-forward a few seconds and she’s swinging at me. If I hit her, they’ll jump in. I can’t get to the door, and, of course, she’s smaller than me. What do I do? Parry that shit son!! sidesteps, me saying goofy shit from some old bruce lee movies, and openly showing that I’m not gonna tapdance on this chick’s face with my fist. The Knights can’t come in since I’m not beating up on her, I’m not losing my man points since I don’t have to back down, the clowning and comedy is used to embarass the girl until she stops trying to fight me. finally, it ends and I go back to what I was doing before, none the worse for the event. There are ways out of situations. sometimes, they aren’t so easily seen.
Yeah, thank god for double standards. And they say being a guy is easy, what with having to dodge all those social landmines like this one.
But that’s funny! I’ve never had a chick actually try to fight me (I’ve never been in a real fight anyway) but if I did or if I ever DO, I hope I’ll remember to handle it like that…with a little comedy at HER expense.
Winning against a woman is pure luck to me. It’s true that no matter what grounds, if you are a guy you will lose. You argue back, she’ll see you as an asshole. You curse at her, you are a bigger ass hole, and if you hit her back then you are the biggest ass hole… funny thing is, if you ignore her then you are likely going to be taken advantage of. So any way around it is, you lose. It doesn’t matter what a woman does, she can do all the 3 above and still get away with it. If she is hot, the more she is immune to penalty because well, us guys have this nature instinct to protect the desired mate just for the sake of dominance and possible sex.
Lesbos are no exception, even the man looking ones because once you slug them they will suddenly be reminded that they don’t have any nuts and they will pull the “woman beater” card… if you lose then you will take the reputation of getting your ass kicked by a woman.
I’m pretty new here so I doubt my words will have much weight, but I have to say this thread is quickly becoming unnecessarily sexist.
Perhaps it’s an ideal that will never occur, but I would like to think that someday humanity will be capable of creating an egalitarian society that is free of gender roles. But the fact of the matter is we are treated differently by society based on physical sex. There are societal benefits and drawbacks to being male or female, but when all you talk about are the benefits of being female and the drawbacks of being male it creates a skewed view of reality that seems to indicate the faulty conclusion that women just ‘have it better’.
I just find it funny that despite all this exchange over gender issues there is little to no mention of male benefits or female drawbacks. Because believe me, they exist. So yes, men might have it rougher in some categories such as sexual harassment. But did you ever stop to think what it might be like to be slightly to extremely paranoid whenever you go out into public alone because a sizable portion of the population would have sex with you if they could? I’m not saying men don’t have to worry about that at all, but look at the numbers concerning sexual assault and it’s pretty easy to see which set of genitalia are more of a liability in this regard.
I’m not trying to control what people talk about, but I do feel that when a group takes a single side of an issue it seems to imply an air of prejudice or discrimination. Intelligent conversation should explore all sides of an issue, not just the side that happens to be beneficial to you.
After I read, “I’m pretty new here” I had a strong inclination to tell you to SHUT THAT SHIT UP!
After reading everything else you said, I see that my inclination was correct. We’ve been talking about a huge female drawback the whole time: GETTING THAT ASS BEAT. If you want to hear about the male benefit of performing such an action, it would be a nod of manly approval.
Oh, and as for your hypothetical question… Men dream about that shit all the time. Its why we buy nice houses, clothes, jewelry, cars and penis pills to make it happen
Yeah it’s not cool to play the woman card because of the double standard, but she did technically admit defeat/tap out and that’s a good reason to stop. You’re taking an extra step if you’re going for a K.O. after someone concedes and everyone heard it. It really depends on what your stopping point would be in any other fight I suppose.
I’m trying to remember if any fight I’ve seen in-person has ever ended with someone knocked out and unconscious. It’s pretty rare when I think about it.
You know what really boils my blood? When a lumberjack will call you out and say, “be a man/you’re not a man” Hell, straight females who say that piss me off.
Funny, some dude up there going on about being chivalrous and saying he’s like the knights and nobles of days long past. Something along those lines. Man, them fuckin’ nobles and knights would rape and beat a bitch just because their MLT (mutton/lettuce/tomato) wasnt prepared right. And no one cared.
It’s all about equality.
