I do wonder how long it will be. I wonder how long it will be before American women whose taxes fund the military are allowed to serve in it on equal footing with their male counterparts. I wonder how long it will be before a woman isn't excluded from a conversation because it's too rough for her delicate ears. I wonder how long it will be before this country gets over the notion that women should be protected more than men. Issues of domestic violence shouldn't be ones of gender, and our reasons for abhorring it should not be that it's wrong to hit little girls.
Domestic violence is wrong because it is violence against another human being, period.
Gender should not be part of the issue. Protecting one gender over another doesn't make that gender equal, and I am continuously amazed by the number of feminists who think it will. Don't stop these kick-ass women from hitting because you're afraid they'll get hit back. Show them getting hit. Show them kicking the ass of the person that hit them.
