Then they’re not being treated equally and similarly. If you want true equality, you have to take the good with the bad. Throw hands at a man and accept it when he throws one back. I’m of the position that a woman is a man’s equal in many regards. As I said, cognitively, the ability to do many jobs at or better than the level of a man, etc. For example, if I was tasked with sending an expat overseas to European countries for my company, I’d strongly consider a woman. Women tend to work harder and longer, studies have shown, to build lasting business relationships because they go with a pre-developed sense that they won’t be treated as peers by their male overseas counterparts. But, in a physical sense, unless we’re talking about a woman who has been trained (ala Ronda Rousey) and a man that hasn’t (your average Joe that slams an 18 a week and rips key bumps in the bathroom stall of a dive bar on Saturday nights), a woman is not a man’s physical equal. Therefore, they should not be treated as such, a man should keep his hands to himself around a woman and physically restrain her if she has to, and we as a society should quit pretending that we buy into this utter nonsense that everyone is equal.
