Is there people on here who are old enough to remember when a man could take a punch and would physically defend other people's safety?

How did it get replaced by people complaining on the internet about a website hurt their feelings?

You mean when violence was more aceptable than talking? Of course I remember (even because it still exists) and I'm very happy that society is evolving

And frankly, I can take a punch in person but will still not stand for people being incivil in my online discussion spaces.

It's adorable that you think OP has ever been touched by a woman that wasn't his mom.
