One way to look at it , but how are you going to quantify it .
AKA if you hit me with everything you got, then I ( at 6'1" and a steel worker ) can hit you with everything I got ...right ? RIP
The days of men not being socially able to hit a LADY is over .
There is no law that states a man can not defend himself from an attacker with regard to sex .
You can not protest and scream for equality across the board then decide to only apply it as it suits you .
Also that was an idea based in an era of Ladies and Gentlemen .. few of which exist any more .
::Its a mans job to respect a woman. And a womans job to give him something to respect.
A real man understands that a woman demands and deserves respect, and a real woman understands that she has to be respectful in order to be respected. If a woman sleeps around and does not carry herself with dignity then she can hardly expect to be treated with respect and devotion. Clothes that reveal everything and leave little to the imagination, a lack of loyalty to her boyfriend or friends, and promiscuity are all reasons why a woman may not be given the respect that she feels she is entitled to. A man wants a woman who is loyal, giving, and someone that he can be proud to show off to his family and friends. This means showing some class and having the dignity to dress and carry yourself appropriately.
If you wear booty shorts and talk like a sailor on the docks then it will be difficult for any man to be respectful and treat you like a lady. A woman should be free to express herself, but tasteful in the way that she does it. When you respect yourself and your body as a woman then you realize that this is a precious asset that should never be given lightly. When you act in a dignified manner and carry yourself like a true lady it is impossible for a man to show you anything but respect. Take care of yourself, and give your man something to admire and look up to. When you do this you have earned respect and you will receive it.
Like stated here before you get what you give , hands of each other in that respect .
