I Hate Guys Who Hit Women

A few years ago while I was in college, I remember reading a sign that said "Real men don't hit women". And I found that kind of odd for a couple of reasons:

- Is this the best argument that's given for not hitting a woman? You aren't being a "real" man?

- Who are you to say what a "real" man consists of being? Is this in the Webster's dictionary?

- No one should be hitting anyone, regardless of gender. Whether or not guys are naturally stronger, we also are hurt if we're hit. There is domestic abuse on men, as well.

- If anyone was hurting their women, they wouldn't be reading that sign and think: [i]Oh sh*t! I wasn't acting like a real man?! Oh, I'm so sorry sweetheart for hitting you, my bad. How was I to know this was wrong?![/i]

So if the sign was speaking about domestic abuse, maybe just specify that it is wrong to hurt anyone in a household, in general, rather than being overly specific as it may be misinterpreted to mean that it isn't as big of a deal to hit a guy... cuz it is. And hurting anyone out of annoyance or anger is just wrong.

Does this really bother me? No, but I was running out of things to talk about so here it is! 😃
