Does violence against women bother you more than male on male violence?

I personally don't feel worse or display more outrage if I see a child or women being shot in the head.

The sex of the victim doesn't make it unbearable to witness, rather the type of violence being applied. I cant watch anyone; man, woman or child getting their head cut off.

If it's too gruesome to watch, it doesn't suddenly become easier to stomach because a guy is the victim.

 I'm of the belief that the social acceptance of male on male violence is one of the major problems in our world. Can you imagine how much better things would be if men were taught to show the same reluctance to hitting men as they do women?

Yes

I actually resent the double standard that our culture displays. Women in domestic violence have all my sympathies, but still think it's not enough to establish such a draconian standard. I've bought women drinks before and for whatever reason they were insulted enough to try to kick me in the balls. If a guy tried to do that, and succeeded no one would have a problem if I fought them. But if it is a woman, then it is a whole nother story for some dumb reason.

Not really. I don't feel as if women are necessarily weaker, and it shouldn't be more off-putting when they're placed in harmful scenarios, as apposed to men.

yes, 

but i know i shouldn't be really. 

Yes I do. With the exception of junkies and hoes who constantly bring in upon themselves, I won't stand there and just watch a dude hit a chick. I will beat his ass the moment he does it. If for some reason I don't think I can take the guy, that's what sticks and bricks are for and you best believe I have the balls to use em too. I'd bust his ass in the head in a heartbeat and just walk away without batting a eye.

Violence in general bothers me, but yes I get an even stronger negative reaction when I see violence against women.

EDIT to clarify it's not because I believe men to be less valuable. It's simply because we are conditioned to believe women to be less strong than men (physically that is usually the case), and thus less able to defend themselves. It's still quite horrible to see anyone get hurt or killed regardless of gender.

Not if it's treated the same as male on male violence

I know you want to come off as noble, but all I can detect is arrogance and misogyny. What you are basically saying is  that I'm a tough guy and no women on earth can seriously hurt me.

It reminds of the tough guy who laughs at women and then say "Ok sweetheart, give me your best shot" while sticking their chin out. The next thing you know the guy gets knocked out with a broken nose.

It's not only demeaning but dangerous

Depends on the context, to be honest. For me, female victims in domestic violence & "you goin to jail now" are different situations that have me feel completely different. That said, I do tend to feel more for a women, than I do for a man. I can admit that.

Its sexist to feel different to seeing violence towards women than men. You are innately belittling women as being inferior and in need of protecting.Diablo-B

Yeah. Male on female violence is generally a lot worse than male on male violence.

I agree with this. I think women deserve equal protection under the law and all that, but I still think there's a physiological difference between men and women and that a man who physically accosts a woman is doing something more egregious than attacking another man.

Call me sexist, old fashoined, whatever...I don't really care.

Saw black girls fight at least once a week in high school. It was very cool to watch. Some of them could have probably whooped me too lol. They are some vicious fighters, trained or untrained.

[QUOTE="Diablo-B"][QUOTE="AmazonTreeBoa"]Call it what you want, but I still don't like seeing a guy hit a girl. If that makes me a sexiest in your eyes, then so be it. Also seeing girls beat up all the time from a man makes it pretty clear that when it comes to fighting, the average girl is inferior to the average man and do need protection.Amvis

used to, then I realised what bitches women can be, and what mind games they can play.  Whatever physical abuse a man can put on a woman, a woman can dish it out tenfold on a man in mental anguish.  Not to mention the law is skewed in their favor.

The exception is, of course, spousal abuse, rape, etc.  That is generally horrible.

It's not the gender that gets to me, it's the difference in strength that bothers me. People who attack those weaker than themselves are pathetic.Sword-Demon

yeah this kind of sums it up nicely.

More often than not.

It doesn't really have to do with the women themselves, it has more to do with domestic violence, which I think is much worse than random criminal violence, because domestic violence pins people into a psycological corner. It just happens that women are on usually the recieving end of it.

Gender doesn't matter; crime against anyone is bad enough, crime against those who are less able to defend themselves is awful.

Not really, I enjoy violent actions against both sexes.

If the woman did something to provoke her attacker, no. There are women who will use their gender as a shield to provoke men with the expectation that men will not fight back. Such women disgust me.

Yes, it does. It probably shouldn't, but it's not a conscious thing I have control over.

In general, both forms of violence bother me.ghoklebutter

Good answer, I'll go with that as well.

Also, it's the degree of the violent act that was perpetrated on the the individual that bothers me, not the gender of the victim.

No.
