  1. Why does hitting a girl automatically end with you being the bastard? Are you simply saying this because society feels this way?
  2. I will agree with you that you should never actually hit someone unless you are protecting yourself from imminent harm. A single hit may simply have been out of pure anger and does not warrant an escalation to the situation. However I will say that I find great fault with the idea you have presented in the above statement. I posit that it in no way is it acceptable for someone to expect to "get away with" hitting another adult person no matter the gender. Striking another is an act of violence and is intolerable. Allowing women or men of any kind to consider that it is "ok" to hit someone because they are angry is unacceptable. I do agree with you, however, that this is the prevalent thought pattern in our society. A female hitting a male because she feels that she, as a woman, can do so without fear of retaliation. I feel that should this happen, then hitting them back, in kind is completely acceptable. However countering a slap with a full on punch would not. If she slaps you, slap her back. If she punches you punch her back. Do what you would do should the other person be another man. Women are not special, they are not above men in some mystical way that should give them undue protection. If you feel uncomfortable personally hitting a female then at least file charges for an illegal act of violence against your person. Assault can be a rather serious charge, and they would deserve what they get. That's my two cents. Thanks, C
  3. Thank you all for the warm welcome. I am quite sorry I haven't gotten involved in the forums just yet, life has been hectic these past few days. But I shall attempt to do so soon.
  4. Good evening, Ladies and Gentlemen. My name is C.W. and I am a newcomer to the site. I have read the book Anthem, and I am currently almost three hundred pages into Atlas Shrugged. I have also read Ms. Rand's book entitled The Virtue of Selfishness. As far as I can tell there is a lot in her philosophy I agree with and so far not much I can honestly say I found fault with. I hope to learn and grow as I spend time here and hopefully make a few friends in the process who can help me to do so. Thank you all for you time. C.W.
