You know what normalizes assault on women? Being told we should stay in our place and *only* handle things through authority figures (this is an extension of internalized misogyny thanks to institutional oppression.) You know what normalizes assault on men? Not a damn thing done by women, because we still very much live in a patriarchy. <br />Every TWO MINUTES a person is sexually assaulted in the US, and 9 out of 10 rapes happen to women. 97% of rapists won't even spend one single day in jail, even when women REPORT THEM, usually because authority figures don't believe women. Wanna speak violence? "Among women aged between 15 and 44, acts of violence cause more death and disability than cancer, malaria, traffic accidents and war combined." So if your first response when it comes to equality is "CAN MEN HIT WOMEN NOW" the answer is, why the fuck is that your first concern? <br />There are rape cases where women are condemned for NOT fighting back physically. As a society, we are quick to condemn the way a woman defends herself when she is victimized, because it allows us to AVOID THE ISSUE, that is: WHY DO MEN FEEL THEY CAN SEXUALLY ASSAULT WOMEN SO OFTEN THAT IT IS HAPPENING EVERY TWO FUCKING MINUTES. If a man like that knows he'll be reported to a bouncer who he can argue with and possibly receive a figurative slap on the wrist or less, do you think that will deter him better than knowing that women will fucking stand up for themselves?
