13. Well, for me it's not so much what they say...
but what they often do.

Some women take advantage of men's reluctance to strike them back when they (the women) inflict physical abuse on men. A man really shouldn't hit a woman for any reason, but that doesn't give a woman a free ride to do whatever the hell she wants to the man knowing that he can't...or won't...retaliate in kind.

This actually happened to my son during grade school when he was being harassed by a girl who hit him knowing he would not hit her back because he knew he shouldn't hit girls no matter what they did to him.

I had a little confrontation with her mother, who turned out to be precisely the kind of parent who didn't give a shit.

What a surprise.

anyway...names....whatever. Sticks and stones and all that.

but physical abuse...unacceptable, even from women.
