I've been asking myself lately why there is the "don't hit girls" rule and I could draw only the following conclusions.
(a) It's immoral
(b) You must be kind to them
(c) They are in greater need of respect / protection than men
(d) They are more important than men
(e) They are weaker than men
And I have also come to answers for each one of these conclusions.
(a) It's immoral? Is it any more moral to hit a man then? Certainly hitting another human shows savage uncivilized insticts, no matter if the human being hit is a man or a woman. So it can't be (a).
(b) This sentence is as nonsensional as the original rule. Why must anybody be kind to them, are they born with higher-class features or what? Frankly, you must be kind with all people but nobody has ever managed that, so it should be rephrased to "be kind to those who are kind to you and be unkind to those who are unkind to you". That's fair enough, so (b) is rejected.
(c) I don't understand this either. Feminists whined on the latest two centuries about women's rights about social and economic independence and whatnot, so if it were (c) this would be a blatant contradiction. Certainly a woman must be protected when she's pregnant but technically you're protecting the fetus not the woman herself. Apart from that phase of life, I don't see why they would be in need of protection or respect, this is a social inequality against men. It's not (c) then.
(d) Again, this makes no sense. (I'm not gonna go on on how many humen that influenced the world were men etc.) Everybody when born has equal chances of being important. It depends on his or her future choices or way of life whether or not they would be important and respected later on. So (d) is disqualified.
(e) This is the most logical reason to me. Genetically and statistically women are weaker, simply because body and chemical structure cannot afford muscle growth as good as in men. So, politeness says one should be keen to another who is weaker than him...if and only if the "weaker" person is polite to him too. Girls that get mad and start hitting somebody are not excused from a fist in the face because they are girls. I'm sure it won't hurt their feelings too, after all the whiny girl is another disputed myth. When a woman offends and hits somebody else, whether that be a man or a woman, she has it coming. Personally I wouldn't have a problem using tae-kwon-do to dislocate her shoulder if she possessed a serious threat for me (i.e. wants to kill me).You can be a gentleman, not a fool who lets himself get constantly blundered by a woman.
This is for the hypocritical women who hit and await not to be hit back, as well as to the even more hypocritical "white knights" that take action when a woman is righteously hit.
Thoughts on this from a show last night, when two actors (a man and a girl), were to fight openly at a park, the first one swearing and hitting the second one and then switching places. Guess what? More "white knights" appeared out of nowhere to help the girl and nobody helped the man when he was being hit.
