That is absolutely incorrect. I maintain the misguided paternalism currently extended to women by myopic traditionalists have released a cancer on the body politic.
Any group, it doesn't have to be just women, that exercises all the common liberties without common commensurate responsibilities, while enjoying numerical superiority at the voting booth, is bound to take advantage of that position to the detriment of themselves and society as a whole.
And frankly, I find your "disgust," laughable. I can feel nothing but contempt for those who try to force the square peg of traditional social norms into the round hole of contemporary legal realities.
It is that exact kind of narrow-minded provincialism that has left the West open to the predations of the Muslims by insisting Islam be afforded the same presumptions of innocence due to other, non-predatory, religions.
Since when do people repeatedly say "now you going to jail" for having their "manliness' disrespected?
Find another windmill, Don Quixote'.
That wasn’t self defense, it was escalating. He was not in a fight; she was done and he just got up and whaled on her. He will get convicted. And deservedly so
In an earlier time, the company would give the bus driver a raise and his choice of route and shift.
He is going to jail for assault
“contemporary legal realities”?????????????
contemporary societal realities, perhaps won’t easily fit with traditional mores, however, the legal reality is he escalated the fight and therefore is going to be convicted of assault and rightly so.
Count me as old school. You simply don’t hit women. Remove her from the vehicle,call the police and close the bus door.
I personally would just never be comfortable striking a female (even a perra like that one) unless she was gouging my eyes out or something.
You question my phrase because you are still trying to fit my opinion into your "eroded standards of behavior" presumption.
That's the kind of myopia I referred to earlier.
The fact is there are very different legal standards for men than women in this country, despite the myth of "equality."
Notice women legally have the entire gestation period of their pregnancy to decide whether or not they wish to reproduce, yet the law, with full support from supercilious traditionalists, glibly tells men "you should have though of that before...."
Furthermore, he is legally obligated to financially support any children by *her* decision to reproduce with no analogous rights to "opt out" nor prevent her from aborting his child should he offer to take the responsibility on his own.
The main reason I decided to adopt from the other side of the planet is because there is no such thing as a binding agreement with women in America when children are involved.
I'm pretty old school, but I have modified my tendencies toward "women" over the past couple of decades. Since they now mostly act like men, they get treated like a man. If a woman swings at me, God help her, because whatever chivalry and deference I may have once had is completely gone now.
Thats no women (teen girl) that is a feral animal.
The bus drivers movements were pure poetry. He hit it from his socks!
You will notice the “ thing “ kept on running her mouth!
So what do you tell a feral animal with two black eyes? Nothing.... you already told her twice! :-)
good for you.
