"If a woman doesn't want to get hit, she shouldn't put herself in a man's place." Anyone think this is a valid excuse to hit a woman? I don't. (And this is not just if you hit the guy, but if you speak your mind or stand up for your rights).

Of course it isn't valid. It is the statement of a preson who mistakenly believes he has the right to control others.

No. We, as women, have equally as many rights as a man. It's not chivalrous to hit a woman because she's weaker physically. No amount of twisting words will make that less the truth. We have the right to speak our mind and stand up for our rights. The man's place, anyway, is as the head of the home.

It is never appropriate to hit a woman. It's really not a good idea to hit anyone. That never really solves anything.

I think that if a woman hits a man he has the right to restrain her to prevent further violence but he has no right to hit her and she had no right to hit him. There is no excuse to hit a woman or a man that is valid. Despite the popular belief there are many men out there that are abused by their wives/girlfriends but it is seldom reported because they dont want to appear weak. The simple fact is nobody has the right to hit anybody no matter what is said. Edit** Except in the case that you catch somebody molesting your children... Then you have the right to beat the living crap out of them... In my opinion anyways

If you are hitting a man, then he should at least restrain you. If you are going after a man with something that could cause him bodily harm, then he has every right to defend himself. I think it is BS to suggest that it is OK for a woman to hit on a man and he is just supposed to stand there and take it. Women know that generally men are stronger and can overcome them. If you are going to hit and kick a man then you should expect some resistance. It's a pretty poor and flimsy excuse to think you have the right to hit someone and then scream about how a man should not hit a woman. It seems to me that this type of thinking entitles a woman to be aggressive and expect the man to back off.

I guess in some non-western countries it's valid. But not Western ones.

There isn't any justification with anyone hitting. If a couple is so unhappy together there are actually hitting each other, I would say there isn't any possible way to save the relationship and they should be moving on, before someone really gets hurt. If it has got that out of hand, I think the love has been lost.

i think if you hit somebody you need 2 expect a punch in return no matter the gender. just go easy

It is not good for anyone to hit any body regardles of sex.But a man that that trys to look down on a woman for a weak person or children is a fool because those children will be bigger than the man one day and get revendge on him if he hurts them in any shape or form and the woman could be extreamly tuff and not look like it and have self-defence training in the highest ranks and know how to use weponds and have lots of diffrent training and be extreamly smart he may not know what hit him with her taking him down with the presure points.I thank she should speak her mind and should speak his too but it should not resolt in a fight if it did I would let the person make the first moves and then finish it without leaving marks.

I just can't do it no matter how pissed I am. The only thing I can do is keep her off me and try to get out the door or lock myself in the bathroom or something.

its never appropriate to hit anybody. a man who hits a women then uses that as an excuse is a huge mistaken coward. i have read some of your threads and think that your ex was very abusive and manipulative. he used that as a way to justify his horrible acts. i am glad you are out of that relationship. women need to speak their minds and stand up for their rights especially considering we live in a society where there is a lot of violence against women.
-
No one has the right to hit anyone, and I'm sorry but I fail to see that there is a "man's place" and a "woman's place" in the world. Men and women are human beings, equal and should be treated as such.
-
I've heard that before, and always have thought that is a terrible excuse for a man to put his hands on a woman. "Putting herself in a man's place" doesn't mean anything - after all, what is the man's place? In the bed? Kitchen? Yard? I think a real man wouldn't hide behind that kind of excuse or reasoning - a real man would welcome a woman who was his equal and match, and realize that there is no such thing as a man or woman's place in a relationship.

Man, Woman or Child. You are a mentally challenged puss if you resort to hitting anyone out of anger. Stab their tires, throw their cake on the floor and kick it or punch a wall... Just don't punch anyone unless it is clearly self defense. To answer your question more specifically: What makes me a man, is that a woman CAN put herself in a man's place and expect not to be hit. She can yell at me, and know that she won't be struck, She can hit me, and expect not to be hit back. If I need to strike to feel better about it, I'll just go beat her brother's ass for payment. (that was a joke)
-
Of course, it's a bullshit excuse. I'll ingorne the fact that this implies that men and women have separate places in society. What really bother's me about it is that it's another instance of attempting to put the victim on trial. It's similar to trying to excuse rape by saying "She was asking for it."
-
There is NO reason for anyone to hit another unless they are fighting for their life. That is pretty plain and simple.

A man should never put his hand that is absurb! I was in a relationship with a guy who thought that if i went some where without him i was cheating so he would put his hands on me and then one day i was tired of it so while he was asleep, i sat on top of him with the kitchen knife in my hand and then i used the handle of the knife and hit him in his head, he woke up with fright in his as i told him i could have killed him. We broke up and know i am free of abuse.

I just said a lot of nasty words that almost never leave my mouth. My last boyfriend was of that school of belief. He came damn close to killing me for trying to leave. Well technically he did I was dead for 5 or 6 minutes before they got my heart going again. That is a crock of shit insecure men use as an excuse to try to enforce their fake superiorority. I never once put my hands on that piece of shit in anger, but was constantly being knocked around for looking at him wrong. Excuse me but fuck that!
-
I would never hit a girl ever, even if one hits me. But if a girl does hit a guy, then they should expect that they may be hit back. Not saying I would.
-
I don't think a woman should be hit for speaking her mind or anything but I DO NOT think that a woman should go swinging on a man if she doesn't want to be hit back! I know that if I am going to swing on someone guy or gil I expect them to hit me back!
-
'She shouldnt put herself in a mans place' Where is a mans place? Regardless if its a man hitting a woman or a woman hitting a man it is wrong...its a sign of weakness, you have lost already to have to resolt to violence.
-
Man's place? WTF is that? If it's good enough for a man, it's good enough for a woman. There is NO valid excuse(I mean reason) to hit a woman. A lady should be treated like a lady. She responds better that way.

Anyone who says that needs to get their ass kicked
