    Well, if hitting a woman is worse than hitting a man, then it must mean that hitting a man is not as bad.

    So I can just hit men and say “at least I didn’t hit a woman”. That’s justifying hitting a man for just being a man.

        Original comment: hitting a man is as bad as hitting a woman.

        Latest comment: proof by contradiction that hitting a woman is not worse than hitting a man if you’re not justifying hitting a man.

        To me, “hitting a man is as bad as hitting a woman” and “hitting a woman is not worse than hitting a man” are equal statements. How is that moving the goalpost?

        “Hitting a woman is worse than hitting a man” is just sexism.
