Gender double standards
I have a female friend who will sometimes punch me on the arm if we get into some teasing/banter. Since she hit me first, I feel justified in giving her a slap back in the arm.
Now she recently told me that it bothers her when I hit her back because she's a girl and I'm not. She always starts this, and I never hit her as hard as she hits me (I don't think I even could after my arm starts to go numb). In my opinion, she's making claim to a double standard that only supports gender inequality.
What are your opinions on the matter? Either way you feel, justify your answer.
