Cereal Killer
Boy Better Know
As someone who isn't a feminist but holds respect for their cause, I really don't like it when people bring out the "Well, if you're seeking out equal rights, you'd be better off not complaining" argument. Physically, Dixie is nowhere near as powerful as Bully Ray, and as such, she should be entitled to some form of respect due to their unchangeable inequality. A barbarous assault on a defenceless middle-aged woman is a villainous act, no matter how you look at it, and not only harmful in damaging the audience's relationships with Bully Ray as a babyface character, but also damaging to people's perspective on TNA as a whole.
To put this into perspective, let's say I am Robin Hood, stealing from the rich and giving to the poor. I am often considered a hero to many for my actions in attempting to bring equality to the land. Now, imagine if I started stealing from the poor as well. People are capable of defending that action with "If the rich are being stolen from, why shouldn't the poor be also?" Simple: The poor are vulnerable and incapable of surviving without my help in this example. The rich aren't. Why should I still be considered anything close to a hero if I target vulnerable people along with the rich? Why should Bully Ray be considered anything close to a hero if he targets vulnerable women as well as men?
Everyone should. There's always someone stronger than you.
But seriously, we shouldn't say that an old woman deserves more because she's weaker. I mean, who's to say nobody can beat the crap out of Bully Ray one night? Nobody deserves a beating and it's everyone's human right to be protected from abuse, not just those that are considered vulnerable. That contradicts another human right which says that we are all seen as equals.
