Why is the guy being slapped in the first place? Did the guy do anything to deserve it or is she just randomly attacking him? If it's the first then the guy would be wrong, if it's the second then she should not be touching him in the first place. I hope I am making sense here.

She's hitting him for any reason that is bad, whether it's him cheating, him lying, etc. But yes, she hits first.

What I'm saying is, technically that guy that had a well-derserved slap can hit her back at his full strength, no matter how little pain her hit was to him.

Do you think that's okay?
 
If that's the case then it's his fault and he deserves it, assuming she's not trying to kill the guy of course, and thus should not be trying to attack her. The main scenerio I am talking about is if your life is in actual danger.

Restraining doesn't always work though. Sometimes you will need more than one person to help restrain her and if the second person isn't there then what? Not to mention if she struggles, she will do anything to get out...
 
For the orginal question that Cali asked, "Don't Hit Women Opinions", I say no. Never ever under any circumstances should a man hit a woman, regardless of the size of the man or woman. Even if a guy got kicked in the balls, he still should not make any attempt to even raise a hand. The chances are, if a woman will get angry enough at a man to kick him where it hurts, then it was probably his fault and he probably deserved it. Women aren't ignorant of the fact that it will really hurt quite a bit.

It seems a lot of discussion has broken out about hitting a person, regardless of their sex. Now this is a very different story. If a woman and a woman want to duke it out, that's ok, but being a man who appreciates woman, I don't like to see that either. As for two men fighting, that all depends really. Personally, I've never been in a fight, but if I was put in a position where I had to take a stand and make my point, then I most certainly will. Even if it's 2 guys fighting each other, I don't have an issue with that. I'll never have a soft spot for a man, so I don't care if his face gets beat on by another man. I know that sounds savage of me, but it's not something that bothers me as much as 2 women beating on each other.

I'll add another point about like genders fighting. When 2 guys fight, they do it once, and it's done for the most part. When women fight, they will continue to hold that grudge again and fight them again when they get the chance. I honestly don't know why this is, but it seems to be the case for the most part. This makes it a little more acceptable for 2 men to fight as opposed to 2 women because women will take the idea of inflicting pain to another woman to a new level, when a guy is just satisfied to get his shots in, even if there aren't a lot of shots.

I've seen a lot of talk about self-defense in this thread as well. In my opinion, if a guy takes a shot at me, I will most certainly defend myself, rather than run away, because once this conflict finishes, it'll be finished for good. If I were to run, then it would happen again later on. At some point you'll have to step it up and go at him. I think even if a woman has this issue with another woman, she should defend herself, even though I wouldn't want that to happen for my own reasons. But she should defend herself if she's been challenged. But even with self-defense, I still believe a man should never ever hit a woman, even if she does attack him. Find a means to defend yourself and leave it at that.

That's awesome you say that, man :3 And I completely agree. I'm one of those women that don't mind if a man thinks I'm weak, just as long as they don't beat the hell out of me. I've seen what happens to a woman after she's hit by a man, it's bad--really bad.


That's why I keep asking how badly does a woman's hit have to hurt before a man majorly hits her back for it?
 
This may sound childish but I think if someone strikes me I would do so back regardless of size or gender eaither that or find some vindictive way of getting my own back. But hey thats just me.

I was taught never to start a fight but ya know what even though I am a girl if some F****r be they male or female hit me I wouldn't let them get the satisfaction of trying to portray their dominance over me.

My partner on the otherhand is the reverse he would never hit a woman and ya know what I respect that because thats his choice.
Just like I respect the opinions of people posting here.

btw :freehugs:
 
i see many posts saying that no one should be hit - and in those same posts i see stereotypes being applied to both genders. 'even the weakest men are stronger than most women.' 'men go after the weak and mousey.' 'girls are fragile.'

Jerks will go after the hottest trophy girl they see, period. Whether or not she has common sense and rejects him and/or can kick his ass is a separate deal. As for the weakest men being stronger than most women...that, to me, is sexist against women. The weakest man is about as weak as the weakest woman. We're all humans, the minimum strength required to walk, eat, and twiddle thumbs is the same. And men are just as fragile as women. We splat on the ground just like females do when we fall off a building. Our muscles tear just as easily as women when we're shot or cut, no matter how buff. Yes, scientific studies have concluded that men generally have more physical strength than women. That doesn't mean women are 'weak' or that men are 'strong', nor does it really affect one person's ability to beat another person to a pulp if we assume both are eating right and getting enough exercise.

People need to get these generalizations about gender out of their heads. The only significant differences between us, biologically, is that we have keys and you have keyholes*...and we have a Y chromosome.

*I would venture this is an appropriate place to say the words, but i've been checked on this before and who knows what our 5 year olds are up to these days, eh? :O
 
Ugh I never understood why it was deemed cool and funny for a girl to hit a guy.

But then if a guy were to do it, it's deemed as physical abuse. 0_o

I don't believe that it is okay for either sex to hit the other.

I've never thought of hitting a guy just because I know that he can't really hit back. I don't think it's okay at all for anyone to hit anyone.

It's just silly.

I've always grown up knowing that you should respect everyone and that everyone should abide by the same rules.
 
Hm....well hitting anyone isnt good, but i've seen my fair share of crazy women before. Generally speaking, hitting women is wrong in my books. Most cases, the blows can be taken. However, the said crazy women i've seen actually pull knives and go for eye gouges. In those cases, i'd hit back, but only enough to stun them to restrain them, like one or two hits. When it comes to serious self defense, gender does not matter to me. My safety comes first.
 
I think im one of the people who believe in peace. I know that I never ever hit guys, unless they do something that is worthy of a punch. Wife-beaters are definitely a no no, but hubby beaters aren't any better. Humans were all created to co-exist with each other, and we all have our strengths and weaknesses. Although this isn't true for everyone, generally most men are stronger. But we women have other things that guys lack, such as our rationality and our compassion. Nobody is the same and we shouldn't need violence to prove how much better we THINK we are.

As in self defense for a guy.....well I'd have to say if a guy hit me, I'd hit them back, so why can't they do the same? I mean sure if the chick is just playing around, but if she's like loco en su cabeza, like seriously trying to hurt you and you didn't deserve it, then I think that's okay. I think its hypercritical tbh.
 
Not hitting women is one of those things that I was brought up on, like most people. The reasoning that my teachers and parents used to use was that men tend to be stronger than women and things like that. It's just one of those social norms that society has developed, that women can't fight back because they're weaker and smaller, even if that's not necessarily true all the time.

I do agree with Rydia as well. It has to work both ways because, as people have already said, a woman hitting a man creates the problem that he may not be able to fight back due to the 'don't hit women' stigma. I mean think about it, if you watch a TV program, you're more likely to see a woman hitting a man if he does something stupid than you are to see it the other way around. Yeah, it's meant to be playful but I can't remember a man hitting a woman in the same manner a woman would. It would be with a pillow or something.

I do disagree with the mentality that it should be upheld all the time. I disagree with Stang's idea that even in self defense you shouldn't.
It's all good for people to say no one should hit each other... I mean that's obvious. But if we're realistic, it's going to happen anyway. People fight, people get angry. Violence is sometimes an appropriate answer when you're being attacked. I know about a man who was raped by his house maid. If I was in that situation, I would have no qualms about doing what was necessary to stop her.


EDIT: I think the poll should be changed. I don't fall into any of those answers. My answer would be "It depends on the situation."

MY Farther hit my mother when l was younger and ended in them being divorced!
So from a very young age itwas apparent to that violence against women is wrong and cannot be justified outside of it preventing them from hurting a loved one or them selves :ie suicide

Being drunk is no excuse because as the philism goes "you choose the action, you choose the cosequence"..............any tries to hurt my family man woman or other
I'll rippem apart!!

Well, as I said in my post, a man should never hit a woman anyways. Even if she decides to hit a man with a baseball bat, he should not cave into the idea of hitting her back. That's just my feeling on it, I'm sure many will disagree with that.
 
OF COURSE no one should hit anyone! Duh!


[Mod Edit]: Please make sure to elaborate more on your post in the future, thanks. :)

Um....Any guy thats a woman.....you in the right place there Mr. Tribal
You think he meant any guy that hits a woman.....That would make sense?

Um what about play fighting with a girl/woman y'know wrestling......or is the intent the real point here, kind of like attempted murder or sum shit, Its only wrong if its done with malice or anger??/?

l'm not saying its right at all, but there is sum grey area to be explored......

What if your GF likes to be hit...the hell do you do then?....crazy bitch......:confused:
 
I got beaten up by a man in the street and I was too scared to do anything back and I am karate trained as well and I am only a yellow belt, I did not know what to do in that situation as I was so scared :(
 
I'm still seeing bias against men. I'm not advocating any hitting, but dammit, women are just as capable as men in combat, if not in strength then in flexibility. Anyone who hits anyone should be sodomized with onion leeks, period. The thread title itself in fact, seems biased to me :/

Stereotype of women as meek creatures who can't defend themselves - kill it.
Stereotype of men as overbearing muscle apes - kill it.

kill the stereotypes with fire.
 
Though I would generally say that there is always an alternative to violence, this topic isn't about violence. It's about women's rights.

The poll asks "Is it okay to hit women?" giving the implication that the answer should be no.
Is it okay to hit men? Definitely not. It isn't 'okay' to hit anyone.

The way I see it is that if a woman demands any sort of "gender equality" (which is a big thing these days), then that gender equality should be all encompassing. They should be considered "EQUAL" in every manner of being, from a legal/moral standpoint. It is unfair to men to have it otherwise, and a lot of women do not see it this way. They only consider their own well-being.

Usually, when a woman argues that women deserve "equal" treatment, she's really saying they deserve "special" treatment. Do not take what I say out of context.

Personally, I do not think this is a good way for society to be. I do not think that men should be able to hit women, but there are also things that I think women shouldn't be allowed to do. Certain genders shouldn't be able have it both ways.

Naturally, women have privelages that men don't have, and men have privelages that women don't have (case in point), and I do not believe we should be universalizing these privelages.
 
I get what your saying there Meds, but any one who uses a physical advantage over those who are weaker, a better way to say that is not as strong, is wrong, that stuff about "equal rights" is kind of ambiguous.

You say they(women) want equal rights in all regards, but "Violence against Women" is not the right way to make the point, equality in other regards like equality in the workplace, receiving the same pay, and a whole bunch of other stuff!

The point is this aspect of equal rights should'nt even be involved in the argument, no doubt that its wrong, hitting women is not something you can generalize into right or wrong, because in most times normal humans don't plan to hit someone do they?

lt usually takes an altered mind to cross certain lines like that, being drunk, or it being drilled into you that violence against anyone is OK at a young age. There are some cretins out there that just look at women as a Bang Machine good for nothing more than having sex with....and that thought sickens me, some of my best friends are chicks and it angers me they could be hurt in this way.

Like you say any society where a gender is not equal, is a horrible thing. Another point l wanted to make, not in regard to your post but the 1 above you, is that men are stronger than women, its just a natural fact.

That does'nt give men any greater rights than women or make them better........

Of course not - but having more physical strength doesn't determine which gender is more able in combat, nor does it decide who is 'strong' and who is 'weak'. And the weakest men are as weak as the weakest women - the bare minimum amount of muscle required to move, eat, and sit on the toilet. My point is, I see many posts detailing how horrible it is that men hit women, when they should be condemning violence altogether and not showing bias for either side.
