You missed part of my statement, which I could have phrased better, "In the same way"
Our culture has normalized violence. Generally however, violence against women is different from violence against men.
Most domestic violence advocates will readily admit that violence committed against men is a problem. However, most of them will also say that violence against women is a significantly larger problem. A problem that generally requires more external resources and intervention.
Violence against men rarely has a sexual component. Women rarely attack men who refuse to have sex with them. If a man were to reject a woman advances, generally he would not need to fear for his safety the way some women would.
Men rarely get harassed on the street the way many women experience everyday.
You also ignored the And I used. It's rather important because objectification is very integral to the discussion.
Lets not forget the language surrounding violence. The frequent usage of phrases like "asking for it" and excuses like "she was dressed in a provocative manner ("slutty" this word is a conversation in itself).
However violence against men not being taken seriously as a problem is just another example of how the patriarchy hurts everybody.
The first half of your statement is correct. The second half is not. The only people who would complain about not getting to hit a woman are some kids on 4chan and a few video game hipsters on kotaku.
The reason no one says anything about a guy getting smacked, beyond those who complain about anyone getting hit, is that their isn't a culture of acceptance and normalization around violence( and objectification) against men the way there is towards women.
This culture exists regardless of the number of men who "won't hit girls", though many of these men won't hit "girls", not because hitting someone is generally wrong but because you don't hit "girls" because you don't hit "girls". The reasoning in of itself is sexist. There are plenty non sexist lines of reasoning to use mostly due to the fact it's never going to even be a fair fight.
Oh and lets not for get that man men who "Don't hit girls", have no problems using their size and strength to coerce, control, and intimidate women into doing things
Because they refused to pay for fire protection, up until their house was on fire?
OLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLO
One fire department does something that is ethically questionable, but totally legal and not actually related to their competency, therefor all fire departments are incompetent.
Launch codes aren't nearly as important as Hollywood makes them out to be.
IN the end, they simply act as a way of saying "These two dumb asses are the ones who authorized the use of nuclear weapons, have their heads, not ours."
It's not cheap to build my house to code or put in plumbing. Yet, I do it anyways because it is part of what you have to do when building a house.
An elevator is a basic part piece of equipment to have in a multi-story office building, unless you can offer ground access to both floors, but even then it's still standard. It part of the cost of doing business.
Wait I have an idea. Lets make a chair with wheels.. and on those wheels we can put a rail of some kind that would allow a person sitting in it to propel it by applying force to rotate the wheel in the desired direction, and if they want to rotate.. they can... spin the wheels in opposite directions.
I'll call it a "wheelchair". I'm gonna be rich.
Oh and for people who don't have the strength to do so, lets make a powered wheel chair. I'll call it a "rascal".
Well I would certainly hope its past the point of allowing people who have lost both legs access to a building and what ever facilities or opportunities for skilled technical labor held within.
There are plenty of people with mobility related disabilities that are quite capable of doing most any job you can do in an office.
Also, what cheap ass company doesn't put a lift (at minimum a cargo lift) into a "brand new" multilevel facility?
BTW, another side effect specific to the pill: reduced sex drive.
Which would never pass muster for a male birth control product. I mean, we can't sell something to men that might make them less horny. However ladies, nah they don't even like sex, and probably only have sex to keep there man happy.
By the nature of your comment you support those things because all but very few exist without these things. Maybe you should be more careful when commenting.
If your company directly uses the government granted right of way that allows your people to drive through my cornfield twice a year to get a power pole, generally knocking down a 350 square foot patch of corn in the process, and has a government granted monopoly on providing a utility to my area, you don't get argue private property.
You are infrastructure and you need to suck it up, there are already laws that prevent you from killing someone by cutting their power in the winter, if this law passes, you can bitch all you want, but you will give up the passwords cause your company only exists and profits by the grace of the government. You don't like it? Then don't use government right of way, build the lines by negotiating with every property owner who has land you need to cross.
It is called a "Suppressor" not a silencer for a reason. Unless street thugs start buying $1000+ guns instead of $50 used hi-points, this system will remain effective and useful.
Ballistic knives? I think people are just going to stick to stabbing rather than running around with a spring powered knife launcher.
Your lecture is boring, you are boring, you can't seem to focus on the important points and ramble, you talk about how we should focus our energy (you say that you usually find your energy centered just above your sternum), and you publicly harangue anyone who has a learning disability and actually needs their laptop.

Many people who "don't hit girls" have no issue using their size and strength to coerce, intimidate, and control women.
It's okay though, "they don't hit girls"

You seriously think competent hackers won't find a way to remove the authentication within a week?
Space that can be "controlled", either through force projection alone, or by status of actually having sovereignty in a system.
Freespace two and various mods for it allow for both "Newtonian" flight models and "Dampened" flight models.
Allegiance had a Newtonian model in the original game and I believe it still has a community around it now that the source has been released.
You don't like how your taxes are spent?
Welcome to society, where everyone doesn't like a program or two that their tax money funds.
No proper sex ed leads to higher rates of safe sex and if done properly reduces the occurrence of rape and intimate partner violence.
People who have gone through puberty will fuck at roughly the same rates regardless of their sex ed. Sex ed primarily effects contraceptive use.
Just because you find an environment tolerable does not mean that the environment isn't broken.
There is not such thing as a "Semi Automatic Assault Rifle". You either have a semi automatic rifle or a select fire "Assault Rifle".

Police in the United States are not required to respond to anything.
If I recall correctly, death sentences for drug smuggling are pretty common in the region.
I'll state the obvious then.
This is about sex education and access to reproductive health services/products. Facebook is just a way to shift blame.

It's generally architecture specific.
Sometimes performance matters more than portability, especially in an embedded system.
The prime reason in an academic environment is just to demonstrate what is going on under the hood.
