All my life, I've heard the old adage "boys shouldn't hit girls". But I never heard the saying "girls shouldn't hit boys". Does that mean it's OK for girls to hit boys?

My answer to that is "only in self-defense".

Yes, I'm aware that most survivors -- I really hate to use the term "victim" here -- of domestic violence are women. But there are some men who experience it from the women in their life. And we rarely hear about them.

The same goes for rape and sexual abuse. Rape is a crime of violence, using sex as the weapon. Men can get raped too, mostly by men, and in some cases, by women.
And men can be sexually abused as well.

I'm just tired of this perceived double standard that society has, that it's not OK for men to hit or abuse women, but it's OK for women to hit or abuse men. It's time to level the playing field.
