Gender Bias

May 21, 2007 09:03


Boy hits boy: boys will be boys.
Boy hits girl: boys will be met with lawsuits and restraining orders.
Girl hits boy: he had it coming.
Girl hits girl: everybody loves a cat fight.

Why is this?

No, I took my women's studies course.  I know why this is.  Violence is violence should be violence, but if I plug different faces and different fists into the scene, my reaction changes.  There's something to that...though justification won't be found in it.

I am, perhaps, overthinking again.

If you could save me from the ranks of the freaks that suspect they could never love anyone...
