Well, if hitting a woman is worse than hitting a man, then it must mean that hitting a man is not as bad.
So I can just hit men and say "at least I didn't hit a woman". That's justifying hitting a man for just being a man.
No, you can hit a man and you'll get hit back just as hard. You can hit a woman, and she'll be knocked the fuck out.
Just because you don't punch children in the face doesn't mean its OK to punch men in the face. It just means one can defend themselves better and that you like to pick on those you see as weaker.
Why don't you mount those goalposts on a Bugatti, it'll make it easier for you. Until then, you do you.
Original comment: hitting a man is as bad as hitting a woman.
Latest comment: proof by contradiction that hitting a woman is not worse than hitting a man if you're not justifying hitting a man.
To me, "hitting a man is as bad as hitting a woman" and "hitting a woman is not worse than hitting a man" are equal statements. How is that moving the goalpost?
"Hitting a woman is worse than hitting a man" is just sexism.
