Do you want me to see you as my equal or as a woman

It is very hard to respect a person who on one day wishes to be looked at as my equal. On the next day when things are difficult she wishes to be looked upon and treated like a woman. This is very complicated but it is making men like myself very reluctant and uneasy around female counterparts.

Also I saw a news story where a woman slapped a man and spit on him while he was eating. The man stood up and punched her one time he broke her jaw. Everyone is angry at the man they say he has abused a woman. Unfortunately in the world that I live in if a man slapped another man and spit on him he would expect to get punched. This once again brings up the question do you want us to look at you as ladies or do you want us to look at you as equals?

When all is said and done, all people are unique. You might meet a man or a woman who doesn't know how to change their own tire. You might meet a man or a woman who really enjoys dressing up to go out for dinner because it makes them feel sexy.

But when it comes to back and forth abuse, men DO have to be MORE careful because they are very large and very strong, and women, like children, are smaller and usually weaker. That doesn't mean small dogs don't bite. it just means try to keep yourself out of jail.

It also means you should always be as respectful as possible, mind your manners, help out if you see that help is needed, and if you want sex give a potential partner what he or she seems to want.

Don't send yourself to jail by being stupid and abusive, and understand that this is not an all or nothing situation. There is no black and white in this....and you can apply that maxim to all of life.

@4meAndyou The problem is that some women think they can attack men with impunity. It's made worse by the fact that the police almost invariably take the woman's side, even where it's obvious she's the aggressor.

@NortiusMaximus Abusive people are abusive people. If you respond, hit back, HURT back and you are a male who weighs 200 lbs with a great deal of natural strength, and SHE weighs 110, then you, also, are a stupid abusive POS.

@4meAndyou Likewise, if you are a female who weighs 200 lbs, with a great deal of natural strength, and HE weighs 110 lbs, then you, also, are a stupid abusive POS.

The same applies to any woman who thinks she has the right to physically attack a man with total impunity.
