For years women have asked for equal rights and it seems like the majority of people would agree that women should get equal pay, be able to vote, and be able to drive cars. There is one topic that infuriates people on both sides of the argument. I will catch hell for even bringing this topic up because some people on here will overact and misunderstand the post. I'm simply asking a question to all Steemians.
Should A Man Be Able to Fight Back When A Woman Strikes Him?
Some people will say, "A man should never hit a woman." Oftentimes this is said because they are saying that women aren't as strong as men on average so the man has an unfair advantage.
Then there will be some that will say it is OK to defend yourself but suddenly will be scared to back that view point up when confronted with a video where a woman picks a fight and hits a man but then he finishes the fight with a much more forceful strike.
The reason I'm bringing all this up is because the video from 2014 was just released where Oklahoma running back Joe Mixon punched a woman after getting shoved and hit in the side of the face. From the video it appears that she started the fight and Joe finished it. He had to sit out the entire 2014 football season because of this incident and there is an ongoing civil lawsuit in relation to this. Here is the entire video.
As you can see from the video she shoves him. He stands his ground. She then hits him in the side of the face. He then hits her in her face which knocked her to the ground. He walks out of the restaurant. Later she got up and walked out of the restaurant.
Is he justified in hitting her after she shoved him and hit him in the face?
The girl in the fight filed a civil suit against Joe Mixon and it is still ongoing. Should she be awarded anything? I think everyone would agree from the video that she shoved and hit him before he hit her.
If a girl hits a guy should she be allowed to hit him 10 or 20 times before he can defend himself? Or should he never be able to strike back?
What about a situation where the woman is stronger than the man like in the image below? Would this be OK for the male to fight back if shoved and hit in the face by the woman?
What do you think Steemians? What should be the rules for this situation?
