eric3579Damn, when he said slap her hard it put a pit in my stomach.
newtboyHow about just 'people shouldn't hit/slap other people'?!?
Why must this always be put in a 'men hitting women' scenario? How about women shouldn't slap men either, and men should not slap men, and women should also not slap women. Does it really need to be broken down by sex? I can't imagine why.
It's a simple rule....DON'T HIT OTHERS...except in self defense...or consensual rough sex.
LendlPerfectly said. Needs to be meme-framed with fancy fonts.

eric3579I though the exact same thing but figured somethings better then nothing. I take what i can get regarding violence against others.

ChaosEngineAs ridiculous as it sounds, this is just perpetuating the stereotype that women shouldn't be hit because they're weak and fragile. All the reactions are based on her gender, except for that one kid who had the balls to say he's against violence.

Personally, I'm all for violence, but only consensual violence.
Never hurt a stranger (except in self defence). Your friends are fair game though
PaybackIn Canada, you cannot consent to being hurt or harmed.

PaybackYou're absolutely correct!
That is ridiculous.

newtboyOh man....that sucks for Canada!
How do you get around it for hockey?! Maybe BDSM people can use the same trick?

ChaosEngineRidiculous it may be, but that doesn't make it any less true.

bareboards2I was upset with this video as soon as they trotted out the young girl and completely objectified her. From the first moment.
Yuck.
PaybackActually, it came about from "consensual" mass fights out in the streets.
Fights on ice are protected by our Constitution.

Kallesays...Haha "I cant hit her because she's pretty..."
lucky760I had that same reaction. I felt odd the entire time that she's just standing there like a slab of beef for them to look at and touch. "Look at this thing we brought out for you. Do you like it? Do you want to touch it? Oh, by the way, it happens to be a person, so treat it like a fragile little thing that you might break please."
It's a demonstration of human nature, really. That's exactly how human men are genetically encoded to treat women. But I am preferential to cultures and humans that seek to elevate human behavior beyond blindly or happily submitting to every animal instinct/impulse that oozes out of the brain.
Otherwise, you're just an animal that happens to walk upright.

bobknight33It would be interesting if they were young girls and they were told to slap a young boy.
I would think some would do the slap.
ChaosEngineI'd argue that our genetic encoding would make us treat women as resources and in a much more violent fashion too.
I think the "don't hit a girl" attitude is a construct of our societal/cultural nature and it's an attempt to civilise the animal instinct to "take a mate" without regard to the females wishes at all.
I would imagine that over a long period of time, this was an important first step. Yes, it's still misogynistic, but I'm guessing it's preferable to simply fighting over females and then mating with them.
But you'd hope that we'd have moved past that by now.
It would be nice if we were animals that had learned how to think as well, but I fear Terry Pratchett got it right with this quote:
interesting points
antSlap me!
bareboards2And some boys would do the slap. You only saw the ones who didn't.
Human nature. This isn't a gender thing -- except to the extent that that poor young girl was subjected to this whole thing. At least four times.
Yuck yuck and double yuck.
