Sorry lady but that is a large part of the reason the problem exists. You have been reprogramming men for 30 years now and it back fired.
Women are the same as men, women are equal to men, there are no difference we can do anything you can do etc.
Well you just taught young men that you can take a punch to the face!
I was brought up before this nonsense. I was taught to respect women, to protect women.
When I was a young man if I had hit a woman my dad would have tracked me down and whooped my ass beyond belief! But then I had a dad at home. But then hitting a women was not AN ACCEPTED part of the culture. When society starts being detroyed ( abortion on demand, homosexual marriage, prayer taken out of the schools etc.) then getting bent because a group of men fel hitting women is okay is a little hypocritical.
They demanded equality, and now don’t like the results they get from some quarters of the population. But then, logic never was a strong suit for Leftists.
