    Men are on average much stronger than women, why can't people accept this fact. If a man hits a woman the chances are he will seriously hurt her, while the reverse is not true.

    How is it cowardice, it just seems like stupidity to me. These thugs are probably the type that do regularly engage in fights and would fight back if things escalated. Thugs, but not necessarily cowards.

    I'm not defending these people I'm just objecting to the strange use of the word "coward".

    You haven't be hit by a female then, obviously.

    The word "hit" is too vague to bother talking about though.

    How is it cowardice, it just seems like stupidity to me. These thugs are probably the type that do regularly engage in fights and would fight back if things escalated. Thugs, but not necessarily cowards.

    Yes. Cowardice is when you avoid something do to fear, not when you attack someone in anger. If someone attacks a child instead of a man, the avoiding of the man was cowardly and the attack on the child was vicious.

    I think that video supports my point though.

    Wow. Twenty-five.

    At least midwest girls still know how to fight.

    I work out with Vibeke Skofterud a couple of times a week.

    I'm not the only male in that gym she'd have no problem beating up... Nor is she the only fit female there.

    Ya, almost all men can easily beat up any woman. Saying otherwise is confusing how you would like it and how things are. Lemur's wife will most likely completely destroy me (and Lemur) but I'm no karate expert, if I was things would be different simply because I'm naturally stronger.

    Why is there any difference between a strong male hitting a weaker male, and a strong male hitting a weaker female?

    in some "paternalistic" cultures, including mine, males are expected to at least have some gut to fight, fight back, and knows how to fight. And even in non-paternalistic cultures, most "soldiers" are male don't they? our long tradition in earth mostly said that fighting is male duty...

    of course, if you are disabled male or small childrens, that was a certain exceptions

    So there's no reason beyond tradition and culture.

    yeah, and that implies hitting women and children are far bigger crime and violence

    EDIT:
    and at some points of their lives, I bet every males will or have fight against each others, now, who here are male, but never ever doing brawls in highschool / univ?

    So what you're saying is that it's got nothing at all to do with nature at all, it's just about how society wants things to be...? Interesting.

    EDIT: rory beat me to it.

    I do generally agree people should only pick on people their own size. But even weak males and females are different scenarios, its not all physical, males are more mentally predisposed to fighting/defending themselves.

    The biological and social aspects probably complement each other, rather than only one being relevant, IMO.

    by iron principle i only start fights with people i know i can wreck, and by extension avoid being wrecked.

    but then, i haven't had a fight in a fvery long time...........

    if a fight needs to be fought, then it needs to be won, otherwise why are you doing it?

    Not really, a mother defending the nest is a bigger threat than a typical male.

    *sigh*

    Allright, let's say you have a male and female that are exactly the same when it comes to both strength AND mental status.

    Is there NOW any difference between them?
