The ‘comparison to woman as insult’ paradigm continues unabated as two boys are forced to fight each other while older men watch, shout encouragement and film the incident. From the BBC:
“During one section of the footage, one of the boys looks into the camera and asks: “Kicking is allowed, isn’t it?”
One of the boys shouts, “he’s crying”, after punching the second child in the face.”
And, just to show that being a violent thug who enjoys forcing people smaller than you to fight as you enjoy the show also includes being a misogynist arsehole, one of the organisers is heard saying:
“You’re fighting like girls. Fight properly”
Fight properly, like a ‘real man’. A ‘real man’ that organises fights between children and sees it as entertainment. A ‘real man’ who views human life as only existing for their titillation (be it violent or otherwise). A ‘real man’ that posts this video on YouTube and the other ‘real men’ who watch it.
How exactly do you fight like a girl? With Barbies? Feathers?
If ‘fighting like a girl’ means not being associated with the scum of the earth, the violent misogynistic imbecilic oxygen-wasters, then I think it needs to be reclassified from an insult to a compliment.
