    i was amateur mma fighter. i like boxing very much. :D good luck sir. but if you are strong enough to box then you are strong enough to stop a girl hitting you without hitting back. if you think that you will suffer a lifetime of female abuse if you can't hit a girl then you have bigger problems to fix...

    You are one of those of people that thinks women are precious little fragile beings that needs to be treated specially.
    You are the worst kind of sexist,the one who thinks they are doing women a favor.
    You are not.
    By treating them differently than men you are just being sexist.
    If a man hits you,you hit back.
    If a woman hits you,you should also hit back.
    Otherwise you are treating men and women differently because of their different sex.
    The very definition of sexism.

    If she hits you and you would hit back a man in the same situation but wont hit back a woman because you think women are fragile little beings,yeah it is.

    Again I say if she hits you first and you are defending yourself.I am not saying it is alright to hit a woman or anyone for that matter in a verbal argument.

    So if a woman hit you you would beat her unconscious? Because that's the goal when 2 dudes get in a fight.

    I never said you should beat a woman or anyone else unconscious.

    And when 2 dudes fight the goal is to beat each other unconscious?really? Who told you that?Have you even gotten in a fight in your life?
    Way to generalize everything.

    Hide behind my arrogance, it's alright. You still haven't answered to anything I said. What was retracted from the original post doesn't offer anything additional to what is left anyway.

    I'm sorry I hurt your feelings.

    So the most she can get is 5% of his net worth max?

    Then he really should have payed her off instantly to keep her quiet, he's going to lose more on future movie deals because of this wife beater rumour.
    But i guess he wasn't in a settling mood, that's pride and being stubborn coming back to bite him in the ass...

    This A Star Is Born all over again. Aging lothario threatened by rising young female spouse. If a woman angers you to the point of violence, walk away, no reason to hit her or throw things at her. It's going to be a tough year for depp financially, and for heard emotionally.

    In california the 'length' of the marriage counts when alimony is set by the judge, in this case less than 2 years. I would guess she'll get between 20-40 million. Her net worth and earnings during the marriage will also be considered. They had a second wedding in the bahamas, and the legal wedding in LA CA so he is on the hook. The only decent movie he made in a decade was the whitey bulger flick, which broke even.

    "The pair did not have a prenup, so Heard benefits from California law, which guarantees her a minimum of one half of however much their combined worth increased during their 15 months together..."

    Yeah, all the "She's going to get half of his entire worth!" is alarmist bull***t. California law is clear -- they take the total amount both people made between the marriage and the day one of the couple files for divorce. Then they split that 50/50. Anything either one had prior to the marriage is off-limits, as is anything that either of them made after the divorce request was filed is off-limits.

    The only question is spousal support. Hard to image that a judge is going to give a significant amount of alimony to a 30-year old, very successful film actress who is set to appear in a couple of potential blockbuster films in the next couple of years, especially when they were only married just over a year.

    This is sort of why I tend to believe her; there's no good reason have filed the charges. They won't help her with a settlement, they won't help with spousal support, and they could actually hurt her financially since there's a possibility that people could stay away from Depp's movies for a year or so and if part of the settlement is the BO percentage of some of this films, that's only bad for her.

    Don't laugh at his poor grammar, he invalidates what you say in just a sentence.

    Really?And where does one draw the line between equal and identical?And who decides that?

    Identical implies comparison between 2 specific individuals,not all men and women.

    As I previously stated, there's only been one person dumb enough to try and test me physically (outside the ring), and it happened to be a woman, grown enough to not try silly things. This was a low level woman who was raised primarily by her mother (who divorced her father). This old hag filled her head with misandric nonsense AND enabled her to think, "I can do whatever I want, because I'm a woman". She's ADMITTED as such. So one day the daughter tried to talk to me how she talks to every other guy in her life (disrespectfully and dismissively) and I calmly called her out on it. She got so angry that I wouldn't let her treat me how she wanted to, that she slapped me (out of nowhere). She'd rather lash out physically against a 6'2" 220lb guy, as opposed to just admitting she was WRONG and moving on with her life. My reaction was automatic and completely justified in this context. Its not about "stopping a girl from hitting me". Its about correcting the thought processes that would have a grown woman even THINKING that getting physical against a superior animal (because she got her feelings hurt) is a viable option in the first place.

    Let me put it like this, how many men actively go and look for bears to slap/kick/punch? Probably very few I'd imagine, because we understand that the gulf in physicality between us and a bear would probably leave us dead if we indeed initiated aggressive contact with it. I believe most guys come to the realization early in life that, "If I mess with someone bigger/stronger than me, there's a good chance I might get beat up." So we learn that there are consequences to our actions. IMO, because of "radical" feminism, a certain type of women have dismissed men (because they see us as disposable), to the point that they would marginalize even basic differences between us, like our physical strength. In my opinion, the women who claim to "not need men" who aren't lesbians, are the type resort to behaving irrationally.

    In this isolated incident of mine, all I did was reciprocate what was done to me. There were no punches, kicks, headbutts, flying elbows, suplexes, chokeslams or any unabashed misuse of my physicality over the "fairer sex". Bottom line, I had the "audacity" to slap a woman who slapped me first. No more, no less. If that makes me a "bad" guy. So be it. The woman I speak of has never tried that nonsense with me again, and is infinitely more willing to talk out issues like a rational person now.

    I'm glad at the bolded part, because I don't believe a man (or woman) should have to give up half of what they've earned just for making the mistake of getting married to someone who wants what THEY have. As for your last paragraph, I don't believe anything I haven't witnessed personally, when it comes to relationships. But the court of public opinion is something that can be manipulated to draw sympathy, and to make the other person look horrible in the process. Not saying that's happening in this case, but its not too farfetched to imagine either, imo.

    The point I've yet to see brought up is the question of "why the fuck does everybody feel such a deep need to hit other people?"

    In my opinion, the only times you need to hit someone are: a) self defense (in a literal sense, trying to stop them from hitting/attacking you more), or b) When it's a question of establishing your superiority over the other person.

    a) is where you're allowed to fight back until the person is no longer a threat
    b) has all kinds of situations where you do not need to hit back, either a man or a woman, simply because they hit you.

    The best 'fight' I was ever a part of was two groups of guys in college - one guy in their group was drunk and angry at my roommate, who was a state champion wrestler type. Words were exchanged, leading up to when the bro hits my friend twice quick in the face, which didn't even cause him to have to adjust his balance. He just kind of chuckled, and the fight was over. There was no need to 'put the guy in his place,' because everyone involved already knew what his place was.

    Same is true of a woman hitting you - if you get all butthurt because some chick slaps you, you are a weak piece of shit. Yeah, it's annoying that they can 'get away' with a little bit of that because they know men aren't supposed to hit back, but it's just a fact of life.

    Powerful people have no need to show others how powerful they are.

    I agree with you up until the bold, because who exactly made that double-standard a "fact of life" in the first place? And who enabled women to think they're above reproach just because they get emotional? I believe (for grown folk) nobody should hit anybody, unless they potentially want to get hit back in return. And in the study I previously posted, it showed that 70% of women admitted to committing domestic violence WITHOUT previous provocation. This means that a decent amount of women are taking advantage of the power that the government GAVE them, since most of the time in DV cases, men go to jail and they don't.

    So imo some women are THRIVING on antiquated sexist double standards, whilst claiming to be equal to men. It's like common sense doesn't register in their heads, because they know they can run to the police (or just another guy in her life who enables her), even if they're the ones who escalated things. Bottom line, if you are an adult male or female with a fully functional brain (meaning not intoxicated) and you "assault" (which is the charge, last time I checked) me or someone I'm with, you are in immediate danger of an "equal and opposite" reaction coming your way. I agree that some people don't NEED to be physically put in their place to know where they stand among others. But some do. And the option to do so will always be present.
