Any woman who would lay hands on a man just because she thought it was "okay for girls to hit boys" or because you SAID something to her that hurt her feelings is immature and not worth your time. Violent people need to learn to chill out. Striking a person for any reason other than self-defense(or if you are in a sport like MMA) if wrong regardless of gender.
Most people are taught to never hit anyone, unless someone hit you first. Though I have heard this said to boys, but I believed it meant to not hit women first, to not hit women out of anger, or not to beat the day lights out of her if she smacks you. If someone hits you, then you have a right to defend yourself.
I've even seen movies from the 1920's when women get smacked back after smacking a man. In school I've seen girls smack boys, and the boys smack them back. Its just a natural reaction if you are hit to defend yourself.
Sometimes its a physical reaction before you even realize you've been hit. I'm a woman and personally I believe a man can hit a woman in connection of how he hits her. If she smacks him, then he can smack her, if he punches her, he can punch her, est.
No one should put their hands on anyone unless they are prepared for the consequence. Especially adults, they should know better. If you challenge someone physically be prepared for their reaction, and be able to physically defend yourself.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
