This is controversial but as a woman, I genuinely do approve the statement of equal rights equal fights. Like I don’t condone violence in any capacity, I just think that it’s misogynistic that men are taught to not hit women back.

I saw a video on tik tok the other day of a mother teaching her son to fight back if another boy hits him but to not hit back if a girl hits him. Like wtf? So I’m supposed to let a girl abuse me??

Like I think you should be able to defend yourself regardless, and instead of simply focusing on teaching boys to not hit girls, we should focus more on stopping them from perpetuating rape culture.

These days it seems like the biggest physical and emotionally abusers are women.

As a girl aswell I agree! I feel like abuse towards guys often gets not taken seriously because it’s not as common and it’s sad. It can happen to anyone

Yep, the entire sentiment is just a part of an example as to how misogyny harms everyone involved.

and the worst part is that some mothers will do that and then allow their sons to act in ways that is extremely counter to “respecting women” under the guise of “boys will be boys”

also if you are physically assaulted by someone you need to be taught from a young age that that isn’t ok and you are allowed to (and should) defend yourself. the gender of your attacker should not matter. this is again a part of the culture that allows for male victims to be ignored.
