QC and violence against men.

<< < (17/32) > >>

I do have a friend who was laughed out of a rape support group because he was male. Literally. It was bad.

But that is a good point you are bringing up, about the taboo of rape. We (not QC readers, mind you, but Americans) do make light of it, yes, but discussion of rape is still too taboo in PC culture for my happiness.

Note: I am far too lazy to quote right now. Sorry Jeans.

Clearly it was subliminal and Jeph wants me to beat my woman.

do it. go on. do it.

Maybe someone needs to re-read the thread more carefully.

To be honest looking back on the original post it does come across quite "high and mighty".

But one of my family members was in the situation when he was in the process of getting a divorce. Very much a case of "I can hit you, but you can't hit me because I am a girl." She was a bitch. No doubt.

I had an argument with a female friend who also reads QC recently, and I made the point that violence from women against men is considered in society to be funny, and not taken seriously. I used QC as an example basically. This is what prompted my post.

My point is that society as general also has the view of "I can hit you, but you can't hit me because I am a girl." And if the guy speaks up about it, he is derided for being hit by a girl. We as a society do a great deal of work to promote awareness of domestic violence, but generally only violence directed against women.

Insult me away!

I think that's what some men are upset about.  A girl is able to emit her frustration on a male with violence (Exp. Faye>Marten) and the male may only feel a bit of pain but have to "man up" and deal with it because why? 

I think that is where alot of guys get upset with the idea of it being okay for girls to hit guys. 

Guido Sarducci:
I've had a couple of hitters, (my ex wife threw a beany baby at me once and gave me a black eye but she was so ashamed and remorseful it ended her getting physical) and it never bothered me. It wasn't an "I'm macho" thing, I just always figured letting them whack at me a bit would let them calm down, and it was never going to hurt me. Sort of like punching a pillow or whatever.

Then I realized what I was doing by letting them hit was training them that it's okay in general and especially against me. So I learned to block them until they wore out. I've never had a successful relationship with a woman who wanted to hit. They always end up getting angrier and angrier--either because I was letting them get away with things they shouldn't have done, or because they became so frustrated at my passivity to them and their inability to "punish me" that we finally imploded. I'm glad that hitters are relatively uncommon, since I have no idea how to handle it properly...It's sort of a bad feeling, you know?
