A case of double standards

willmunny1990

If a woman slaps a man across the face in a pub, her name doesn't get tarnished and people generally forget about it.

Yet if a man slaps a woman in the face, in the exact same context and situation(in a pub), his name is tarnished and he is branded a woman beater by many.


How is this fair? It's a double standard in society that needs to be stamped out IMO.

Yeah! Lets go attack all the women! :mad:

because its how life is, women love equality only when it suits them , sure its grand anyway, instead of slapping a woman just keep calling her fat and ugly , does far worse damage than any slap

I'm a woman, I like real equality, the reason behind women hitting men being seen as less of a big deal is nothing to do with feminism, it's because you guys keep insisting it doesn't matter because you're so hard, so the opposite in fact.

A man who resorts to physical abuse of a woman is not a man in my book.

Even a slap.

Ominous feeling that this thread will implode... Maybe it'll just slip by and fade into obscurity...
What's with the constant ****ing gender binary threads though? So many people making male-female interaction into a case of 'Know thy enemy.'

Because as soon as she slaps him, she'll try to slap him again, he'll grab her by the wrist, they'll lock eyes and then passionately kiss. It's the law.

This is typical of the type of attitude that needs to change.

I suppose a woman isn't a woman anymore because she slapped a man:rolleyes:

If a man gets a slap in the pub from a woman, he probably deserves it, he probably hasn't taken no for an answer or has touched her up or is just being a wanker in general.

A real man would use his fists .

Tell everyone she was a slapper

no, thats not true at all, and this is why the double standard continues, ive seen men being slapped over looking in the direction of other girls, just trying to chat a girl up or having opinions that women disagreed with

nobody should be slapping anybody , and saying 'he probably deserved it' is the same as saying to a rape victim ' sure you were probably leading him on'

Why do you think that's a double standard? It's only a double standard if both examples you used are equal; they're not.
Men are stronger than women and more physically dominant - everyone knows this, including you and your faux naïf query. If I got slapped by a woman, it would sting but probably wouldn't hurt much. If I slapped a woman it would hurt her considerably. Obviously it depends on the force of the slap - but lets just base it on 70% of strength, there's a considerable difference in the results. Therefore, not a double standard.

Nice try at a 'deep' topic though.

Wow OP that is such an insightful observation that isn't brought up every few days here.
All women agree with this double standard by the way.

It isn't. Nobody should be attacking/slapping/groping anyone. It all needs to stop. Put your hand up folks if you think it's ok for women to slap/beat/abuse/humiliate men. I don't. Pretty sure we're going to be on the same side of the fence there. It won't stop the inevitable (verbal) gender bashing on this thread though...go on After Hours, surprise me!

To satisfy your brain, lets say both slaps were equally powerful:rolleyes:

I find it hilarious. Blokes deserved to get slapped now and again. I was once in a bar where a 6ft bloke reacted to getting a slap off a tiny girl by punching her in the face. He got an awful hiding off what looked like every bloke in the bar.

Most decent blokes don't take kindly to physical abuse of the fairer sex.

I hate violence of any kind.

A woman has a lot of sexual partners and she is a slut and disgusting.

A man has a lot of sexual partners and he is a stud and cool.


Nice case of double standards there.

To be fair, it does happen in the Rovers Return/Queen Vic/Woolpack.

I am guessing you are claiming the right of a man to slap a woman.

Amen. The desperation to find women agreeing with mistreatment of men on these threads is quite priceless. :pac:

True but isisn't a fair reflection of real life (the soaps ..not the slaps )

another double standard

this is banned for being sexist : http://www.guardian.co.uk/fashion/fashion-blog/2011/sep/14/topman-sexist-t-shirts

but the endless lines of womens tshirts slagging men are a-ok

the auld confidence destroyer works wonders, say it correctly and bring a woman to tears in 30 seconds, even if all the lads in the pub overhear you they wont give a shít , however slap her and theyll be over to dig you in the face

That's a bit extreme.

Any man I have seen being slapped by a woman, was making unwanted advances and wouldn't take no for an answer. Thank god I haven't seen it too often.

While I do agree that nobody should be slapping anyone, some people need a slap, to get the point across.

You are entitled to equality but in my standards a bloke slapping a girl is not equal to a girl slapping a bloke.

No more than an adult slapping a child for misbehaving.
