Thread: Double Standard?

I just saw this video and i thought it would be interesting to see peoples thoughts and reactions.

Personally, i think she deserved it.

grew up in a very old school family. Women inside work, men outside work. Patriarch at head of table and the eldest male across from him with. Each with their wives to their rights. Women serve the men etc. But the men are the ones responsible for the family's well being, honor and defending it.

voted not to slap her.

I support the double standard while it might not be "fair" it works very well for many people. I know it sounds sexist and it is but not everyone wants to be 100% equal. Do men want to do the dishes? no. Do the women want to do the shoveling of snow, heavy lifting and so forth outside? no

I think it was a reaction on his part as far as slapping her back and she shouldn't have slapped him in the first place. She didn't think it would happen and I bet she won't do that as easily without thought of retaliation in the future.

Never....

She asked for it,though.....she had no right to hit him,and if she hadn't,she wouldn't have been smacked herself. I just could never hit a girl....whether she asked for it or not.

Although,I did find it funny that she was actually bigger than him,and if allowed to,she probably would have kicked his ass.

REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE-MIIIIIIIIIX

(Voted no slap...you don't hit a woman unless, I guess, you're in immediate danger of grave bodily harm. If a woman pulls a knife on me or something, all bets are off. That's gonna be one KTFO woman.)

I don't have a huge problem with it. I think there is a double standard. He should not have hit her, she should not have hit him. Them are both wrong.

She should have expected to get slapped back. You can't hit someone and expect them to just stand there and smile.

Had he step up the level of aggression (which it looked like he was about to do) then that would be a problem. I believe they restrained him because he started to ramp up his aggression and the crew did what was needed to keep it from going any further.

Women want the same/equal rights as men........eye for a eye?


I myself would have spit in her face rather a smack.

add a 3rd option of knocking one out only if there is a deadly weapon involved.
