The whole "I would kill anyone who hit a woman" is pretty stupid but in other ways its pretty reasonable. Some women might even take offense to that statement, those feminists or the women who think they can do anything a man can do and be just as good (Which I don't disagree with) because they can learn to fight just as good if not better then most men. If you see some punk beating up a girl and you personally are larger and stronger then that punk kid then you would most likely go in there and beat him up for it. Now if you saw the same punk kid beating up an elderly man, you should go in there and defend that guy too, just the same as the girl. Now if the punk kid was beating up another punk kid and the chances were fair for both of them you might not be jumping into that because its a fair fight. Most guys who say they will kill anyone who hits a woman are the same guys who think women are defenseless in general and is a sexist way to think. You SHOULD stick up for someone if they are being beat up by someone who is totally beating them and is much stronger/bigger, whether it be a woman, young kid, or the elderly. To think its more acceptable for someone to be beating up a young kid or a very elderly man then for someone to beat up a woman is just plain stupid and you need to change your opinion. If you saw a guy beating up a small kid (boy) on the street would you come to the kids aid? What if across the street of that fight a man was beating up a woman of the same age, who would you go aid first? The boy is more defenseless then the woman is. I just don't understand why someone will say "I will kill anyone who hits a woman" , why not "I will kill anyone who hits a defenseless person" because some woman can beat up guys without your help, but the second statement at least focuses on defenseless woman, children, the elderly and the like. Oh and what about this situation, a middle aged man and his children are out on the street and a huge bodybuilder comes up and beats the man down nearly to death in front of his children, if you were stronger then that body builder, would you come to that mans aid? That middle aged man/father is still under the defenseless category because of his opponent.
I think most of the guys who have that opinon are sexist but they are sexist in a way that they are nicer to women and are courteous and all the old fashion things that men do for women that most women like to see. So its not a bad trait or opinon to have but it is a bit unreasonable in my mind. But women like to see men who feel that way because it makes them like the guys better so how is it a bad trait to have? Maybe its not, but its still unreasonable to me
