If you as a woman attack me in a manner I feel can do harm to me, tough shit you waved your chivalry rights. I am an old fashioned guy and will NOT hit a woman unless forced to by circumstances and the need for self defense (maybe never), but that does not mean that woman should magically be exempt from consequences when they stupidly escalate things, either. The option to slap some crazy woman who is aiming for my face or junk should absolutely exist. Without it, you get shit like these Antifa beta herders taking cheap shots because they expect to have the benefits of being a woman without the drawbacks.
Fuck that shit.
I don't care who you are, there is no special status that exempts me from being able to defend myself.
Personal anecdote: I have struck women on two occasions, both relating to being a bouncer and both times to prevent some crazy cunt from inflicting permanent damage on (/drumroll) another woman. And I would do so again without hesitation in that scenario.
Van, you are NEVER going to win this argument, because the average well raised man is going to have a similar stance. Namely, I won't do it unless forced but it needs to be an option for that case. Your obsession with this argument leads me to strongly believe you have never been in an actual fight, which would greatly change your opinion and might have solved that whole gender swap thing. Taking a punch from a rando in a fight has a way of clarifying the world in a hurry.
