You also must understand that even touching a girl the wrong way can mess your life up. In this female dominated society a girl can just call the cops and you will be in handcuffs without any questions being asked. Even if the girl hit you first and you retaliate then your done for. Especially has a black male! Sometimes we act emotionally but in that situation we need to think logically. It can mess up your future and your pockets!
While I do hear lots of stories that would back up this claim, my own personal experience would prove that there must be some exceptions which have no explanation.
Case in point - about 10 years ago, while I was serving on active duty, one of the things our commander really pushed on us was civic duty, and each year would invite several organizations to our unit to put on presentations and then the junior enlisted would do volunteer work. Well, it always turned into "volun-told" work because our individual supervisors would put tremendous pressure on us to volunteer our off duty time to the point where we knew we would be treated badly on duty if we didn't volunteer. (I didn't see the point... I already volunteered to be in the all-volunteer military... but I digress...)
Anyways, I was voluntold to be a victim's advocate for the YWCA. Which put me into a great position to have some pretty amazing arguments with some hard core evangelical fem-nazis. The job itself was actually pretty rewarding as I was in a position to assist very real victims of rape and domestic abuse and advise them on the importance of immediately allowing physical evidence to be gathered and pressing charges.
While some of the cases I went on were definitely instances of some girl finally pushed her bf/husband over the edge, and after spending 5 minutes with her I and my partner, a female herself, wanted to smack them too, there were many cases where the victim was truly a victim. In many of these cases, even when the victim pressed charges, they would usually be thrown out on some technicality.
One case stands out above all the others, we got a call to meet the police at a house where a woman had called 911 for help, saying that her boyfriend was attacking her. We beat the police there, and stayed in the car waiting for them. We heard a girl screaming and crying for help, then saw her run out of the front door towards her car. Her boyfriend came out and ran her down, armed with a large kitchen knife. I jumped out of the car, and before he saw me, I had pulled him off of her and had him pinned against the wall of their house. Luckily, he dropped the knife in the process. The guy was small, and I was no wrestler, so he managed to squirm away and started hitting me. Fortunately, while grappling wasn't my thing, boxing was. I punched him squarely in the jaw, and he backed off. He went back in the house, I took the girl and put her in the back seat of our car where my partner was frantically trying tell the 911 operator to tell the cops to get off their asses and get there.
Now, you would think that this guy who had assaulted this girl with a deadly weapon and then punched a social worked who was trying to restrain him would be going away for awhile. When the cops got there, THEY DIDN'T EVEN ARREST HIM. We took the girl to the shelter, she did everything we advised her to do, pressed charges and all that, and it got thrown out on some technicality.
This of course led to an interesting debate with our director who said she wasn't surprised that the male cops took no action to serve justice to a male who attacked a female. I asked her if she was surprised that they didn't even want to serve him justice for attacking me. She had no answer.
