>it's never funny for a man to hit a woman?

I always, without fail, laugh when a man hits a woman in a movie, show, or whatever. I mean, I guess I wouldn't if it was a heart wrenching scene of wife battery or something, but a man hitting a woman across the face is just hilarious to me.

Like you said, it depends on the context. For me, I'm not so much of a fan of slapstick in general.

Also, I'd tell your teacher that sometimes it's funny for a man to hit a woman.

Like it's only funny for a man to hit a woman if a woman is talking about how it's not funny for a man to hit a woman.

Also, i make it a point to hit women if they hit me. I broke one's nose once.

It's dissrepectful to fight halfheartedly.

WHAT IS THE POINT IN 'TEACHING' BULLSHIT LIKE FEMINISM?

THEY ARE REGURGITATING THE SAME SHIT EVERY SEMESTER, AND THEY THEMSELVES ARE COMPLETE NOBODIES.

MY MODERN HISTORY TEACHER TRIED TO FORCE FEMINISM INTO EVERY FUCKING TERM, (90% OF CLASSMATES WERE GIRLS TOO, IT REALLY WAS A CIRCLE-JERK, FEMALE STYLE).

IT WAS FUNNY THOUGH, BECAUSE THE FEW GUYS IN THE CLASS WERE ALL SEXISTS AND QUITE OPEN ABOUT IT. OUR TEACHER WOULD ASK A QUESTION ABOUT FEMINISM TOTALLY IRRELEVANT TO WHAT WE WERE RESEARCHING, AND THEN ONE OF THE GUY'S WOULD RETORT WITH A SEXIST REMARK, AND ALL THE GIRLS WOULD TURN INTO BANSHEES, RESULTING IN HOURS OF WASTED TIME AND A QUALITY EDUCATION.

AND THEN I WOULD GO TO MY ACCOUNTING CLASS, AND BE GLAD BECAUSE I COULD PLAY GAMES THE WHOLE TIME.

THAT WAS WHEN I WENT TO SCHOOL. MY MUM AND DAD DIDN'T GIVE A FUCK WHAT I DID, AS LONG AS I GOT THE GRADES.

OH HIGH SCHOOL, THOSE WERE THE DAYS.

NOT RAGING, I ALWAYS REPLY LIKE THIS.

When a man hits a woman it always makes me crack up. But it's mostly because when it happens, it's always because she deserves it for being a cunt. Pic related.

>> No.1152669

I can see OP's problem. The girl is completely missing the point of gender studies, which is to understand the assigned, static gender stereotypes and hopefull to deconstruct them and create a consciousness of them--that girl is a sexist.

>> No.1152675

>>1152631
lol naw, then I'd lose credibility in arguments I can win.
I DID call the girl out on it in front of everyone though. I wanted to explicitly say that it's pretty hypocritical of her to use that as an argument, but I'm pretty sure I got the point across anyways.

Feminist must be taught and re-taught because so many people like yourself are so resistant to it, and wish to conserve this patriarchal brainwash which you have had since a young age. If you would only take it seriously for what it is, an examination of the static gender roles which oppress men and women alike.

>> No.1152682

That's why I don't like minority studies. I agree with the position, but fuck have a little humor with it.

I wouldn't have the balls to say that either, though.

WHATEVER WOMEN DO TO MAKE THEMSELVES FEEL GOOD.

I DON'T FUCKING KNOW, WHEN I'M GOING AT IT, I ONLY DO WHAT EXCITES ME AND MAKES ME FEEL GOOD, FOR I AM MAN, AND WOMEN LIKE HAVING NO CONTROL.

UM

SERIOUSLY THOUGH, IT WAS PRETTY FUCKING ANNOYING, AND THE HEAD OF DEPARTMENT FOR SOCIAL STUDIES WAS JUST LIKE THE TEACHER!

BUT, MY ENGLISH TEACHER, HE WAS FUCKING ACE. IT'S A PITY THAT IN THOSE DAYS I HAD NO INTEREST IN LITERATURE AT ALL.

Sucks to be a white, male, protestant, upper-middle class, straight, smart, english-speaking american. No, really. People always see me as "the bad guy" or "the man". Pretty ridiculous when they judge me outright on the color of my skin. And other things.

That's actually a good answer to that question. I really doubt a woman was smart enough to say that though. Are you sure it's not a trap or a feminine boy?
