FB, I find it funny that you blame the hulk for a lack of constraint while not condemning the b**** for NOT showing restraint in the first place. ADMIT THAT IT WAS HER FAULT.
I find it funny that you haven't read my posts or just chose to ignore them since I've condemned the teen girl time and time again. I haven't dwelled on it, because I believe that everyone agrees she started the violence, and was acting like a fool and an idiot. I don't need to say anymore about that. Nobody was cheering for her. I will voice my disagreement when people are cheering for the green giant for knocking her through the sheet of glass when it wasn't necessary.
It doesn't happen as often is it probably should. It actually is quite rare. This wasn't about me being misunderstood but someone putting words in my mouth and presuming I was making an argument I wasn't making. I'm happy with my luck. Sorry if that bothers you, bud.
I know it would be so much better if I just joined those applauding the beating of woman. Too bad your assumption about my stance on cops using deadly force against gunmen is far off base, but you know what they say about those that assume. What I find funny is that people are using "white knight" as if there was something wrong with it. I think the idea of chivalry and carrying on behaving like gentlemen have for centuries is great. I don't know why anyone would have a problem with it. If you want to continue to defend the beating of women, then do so. It doesn't reflect poorly on me in any way.
He didn't BEAT a woman, he beat a girl trying to act like a man. Chivalry isn't dead. Putting HO's in their place is alive, too.
You didn't. You said she was "silly" and a "fool", and then call the guy standing his ground a "coward"...When infact she was a spoiled, self entitled brat, and the man was merely hot-tempered giant who could've handled the situation better. Nobody's cheering him. They're merely defending him against White Knight wannabes like you. It's people like you that make it so hard for men to keep ground against encroaching feminism. Trust me, there'll be guys all over the world yelling that he should be jailed, and blah blah. FACT is when you instigate something, 90% of the blame already rests on you. In this case, it's on the girl. I'm done here. Real men don't waste time trying to win internet arguments. You live the way you want to.
Chivalry isn't about putting the woman on a pedestal. It's about serving others and living with integrity without compromise. Chivary and Beta-behaviour should never be confused. A Knight doesn't hesitate when he has to cut off some wrenches head. Ever.
You keep bringing up emasculated men, and men having a tough time being manly. I don't know what woman emasculated you, but my masculinity isn't threatened by feminism or criticism for hitting women. I'm sorry if your masculinity is threatened. Mine isn't in any way. I don't know even know why you feel yours is in such jeopardy. Like I said that idea of not hitting women isn't a new one. It isn't because of any modern feminism movement. That's for sure. The guy was standing his ground? I don't applaud people for "standing their ground" against someone who wasn't a threat to begin with. He was a coward.
Male hitting a woman/female/girl for no reason = wrong Male hitting a girl for talking, screaming, acting silly, no physical contact = wrong Male hitting a woman for physically hitting another man = wrong Male hitting a woman for romantically hitting on another person = wrong Male hitting a woman for hitting another woman = wrong Male hitting a woman for hitting female family member = borderline, depends on circumstances, might be OK Male hitting a woman because woman pretending to be a male, physically hitting male = just past borderline to OK I think that's where it stops.
Pretty much I wouldn't hit a woman unless my family was in danger. My family jewels are considered family so I probably would've smacked that b*tch.
Sometimes I do feel like masculinity in general is threatened, including mine. There are too many examples out there. From guys getting slapped in public to guys dressing all metro-sexual, to guys doing everything in their power to impress girls and not develop themselves. Every time a man does something aggressive against a woman, it's his fault, no matter the context. 99% of the time the woman has the advantage in court, especially in a divorce (which btw is 80% initiated by the wife). She gets to keep everything, including the kids, house, the cars. Everything. Boys are three more times likely to drop out of school than girls. Party because they have no fathers, and partly no true male role models, only half vampy, emotional men or doppy fat fathers (Peter and Homer, for e.g). You have the president having to ask permission from his wife to do certain things, and saying that she's the brains of the household. Well WTF are you the president then? The list goes on and on. Sir. This is the world we live in. No, I'm not lamenting at all. In fact all this BS fuels me to be even more in control of my life. That's the essence of a man, owning his balls. If I come across as sexist, then so be it. I don't answer to anyone, and neither should any man.
I need to know more background about this situation. Why did the girl attack the green hoodie guy in the first place. I saw something about the green hoodie guy punching a 16 year old, was that the girl or was she attacking him because he had punched a 16 year old earlier?
Honestly it seem like you have a pretty shallow view of masculinity. One thing I was taught about being a man is that you learn to restraint and control your emotions. Without knowing more about this situation I can't say what the green hoodie guy did was justified but I don't see this as some statement of manhood and frankly one problem with men is the attitude that I always got to stand up and fight back. That is the type of thinking that runs rampant in gangs.
It's not. FB got me on a rant. This is my take on masculinity: It's not about physical aggression. It's not about false pride with nothing to back it up. It's not about trying to be alpha among others, but about being the alpha in your own life. It is about having a worthy goal and image for yourself. It is about taking pride in your accomplishments It is about having self-respect It is about having unbreakable confidence It is about not giving in to external opinions It is about LETTING you emotions guide you. IT is about self-control Self-restraint in tense situations is important. But if I've measured, thought about, and concluded to retaliate, I will. I personally never get in fights, because I am always in control of myself. I don't drink (anymore), and I let my intelligence and guts guide me. A true man is a dynamic man, and can always adjust HIMSELF for the benefit of HIMSELF. The hulk that smacked that b**** did not have complete self-control, but neither did she. BTW all those bits I said about our culture, I meant every word of it. I don't it's shallow at all.
The girl he attacked? :smh: That b**** attacked him. If this was in court, she'd be facing assault charges and would probably be held liable for the glass she broke with the back of her head.
