No. Hitting woman is very wrong.
-
If she looks like a man and has a knife to my throat.
-
as a rule violence does not resolve anything, self defense is another matter. physical abusers are cowards and bullies.
-
Hell no. Defend yourself and get away if its an assault attempt, yes. Strike a blow, no.
-
I once had a boy refuse to fight me in karate class because his mother had taught him never to hit a girl. It is a good rule. This boy cried rather than fight me, and his mother had to come and explain that it was okay in karate, because he was helping me learn how to fight back against people who weren't gentlemen. There ARE exceptions, though. If a woman is threatening your life or another person's life, it is just as justifiable as if she were a man. That is an already violent act. It is starting the violence which isn't justifiable.
-
I want to say no..but..I cant..because there are way to many cases of physical abuse against men that you never hear about.... I would say that in a defensive manner..by all means...hit her..for instance, someone like me could really cause physical harm were I the type to abuse..It would be a defend yourself thing then..to hit because it makes you feel like a man..or because you cant control your anger..NO :)
-
No reason to hit any one male or female unless in danger. Well ok so maybe I would smack a "guy" if he hit a lady for no reason.
-
YES. Striking anyone, is always wrong, without exception, but in self defense it is at least justifiable, even for a man to strike back at a woman who is attacking.
-
In self defense and when attacked, yes. My rule on striking anyone is not to do it when angry, but when thinking clearly and in control of all my faculties so that it is an act performed using good judgment and not emotion, and that judgment would be that no other response is appropriate. Then, man, woman, child, or funny little animal friend, response must be appropriate to the threat and delivered swiftly.
-
If a ho needs to be slapped, then a ho needs to be slapped.Keeps em in line.......JK (hope there aren't any feminists out there...) It is justifiable to knock any one regardless of sex if they attack you. In self defense violence isn't a wrong.
-
Okay, I know this says men, but I do want to put in my two cents as a woman on this. If a woman is attacking you and you're a guy you go right on ahead and knock her on her butt. It's self defense no matter what sex the attacker is. Nobody deserves to be hit and nobody should be hitting anyone else. In fact I might knock her one for hitting you. After all I'd just have to say I saw her attack you and I was trying to get her off of you. I have seen one too many times some girl just go off and beat the tar out of her boyfriend because she knew he wouldn't hit back either because he was taught not to hit a girl or she'd be calling the police on him and filing false charges. And that's just wrong. Girls, if you want equality you'd better be prepared to be treated just like the guys when you act up. It's only fair. And, guys, don't let her push you around just because she's a girl. You don't nessarily have to hit her. Restraing her is just as good. You have just as much right not to be hit as she does and don't you forget it.
-
I can't think of any unless there was some strange and rare instance where it was necessary to save her life or someone else's. It is not OK to hit a woman. It is really not OK to hit a man either. Hitting is not a good thing - very childish and hurtful. we ought to be able to get past that.
-
I respond to physical threat in direct proportion to the threat presented to me, regardless of the person presenting it. I have had my arse kicked in the Dojang enough times by women to know that women can fight. If I was presented with a life threatening scenario and the assailant was a woman... yes. I would react to her just like I would to any other assailant. Also, if woman held a gun on me and I was able to disarm her, I would deck her. In general, other than such extreme situations... no. Other than extreme situations I do not believe a man should strike a woman.
-
Only in life and death situations. ie. She may be a woman with a gun, but a woman with a gun is just as deadly as a man with a gun
-
I feel this is an odd question really. I believe strongly in self-defense for sure .. & being a man, I won't punch or do things to a female attacker unless she's doing just that herself. I don't go for any man for example punching a woman unconscious just because she's slapping (example). Personally I would always revert to restraint unless there was no other way & there are just too many means of restraint to mention or even think of .. so this question seems like a teaser to me more than a real thing.
-
Unless she is about to kill you or harm you in a way that you could never recover, then no. It is *never* acceptable to hit a woman besides for that situation.
-
I would say that 99.9% of the time, no, there is no reason. The only reason that I would say it is ok, is if they were about to seriously harm a child and it was the only way to stop them. That's the only time I would make an exception, and thankfully that circumstance has never arisen.
-
No - The justifiable thing to do is walk away
-
Never! I don't think a man shold ever hit a woman. Just walk away and calm down!
-
Yes, but only under the following circumstances... For Men: 1/ Your life is in-danger and you can't run away; 2/ You're a martial arts instructor or sparing partner and she's protected; 3/ You don't know she's a woman; 4/ She's a combatant in War on the opposite side; 5/ She's of equal or greater size and is attacking you; 6/ You are a police officer, a woman attacks you and you make an arrest useing minimum force; 7/ You are being attacked by multiple women; 8/ It is necessary to protect another person from harm. For Women: 9/ The situation warrants it.
-
never. simply no
-
I'm a woman, but here's the skinny: if she hits first it's on like Donkey Kong. In my opinion a victim is someone who doesn't start it. That's why I don't.
-
Yes, if she's attacking you. You have to ask yourself if there's ever a justifiable reason for anyone to strike anyone...I don't see any real difference what the genders involved are.
-
Strict self-defence only. As soon as she stops being a real danger to you, you must stop. Mind you, the same applies for men.
-
All the time,especially if you have run out of alcohol,because she neglected to get you a refill. Actually,no,unless someone's life or well being hangs in the balance.
-
here is a question to give thought to: Can it ever be justifiable or at least understandable to strike a woman just because of something she said to you? What if she has you cornered and she won't shut up and she is purposefully saying things that literally make you crazy with anger. And you warn her that if she doesn't quit screaming and spitting in your face, you are going to knock her on her ass. And she continues anyway without leaving you anyway to walk away.
-
one of my ex-boyfriends got community service for hitting the girl he had before me, and i think it was justified - she'd hit him over the head with a beer bottle, and he hit her to prevent her sticking the broken bottle in his face - she admitted it in court, but her still got the community service! It really depends on the circumstances, but it's not justified in most cases i've heard of x x
-
If there is no other way to defend himself against her, sure I think it's fine for a guy to hit a woman but it better be last resort. Then again, I think it should be last resort against a man, too. Hitting is not the answer in most cases. I'd rather run in each case.
-
The only time to raise your hand to a woman is in self defence - or if it's the only way to protect someone else.
-
There is no justifiable reason to strike a woman ! Absolutely not !
-
It makes no difference. The genders are equal and that means that women get no special consideration from me. If you do something that makes me want/need to have a go at you then I don't care whether your pair is on your chest or between your legs; I'm swinging! That said, my wife has made it abundantly clear that if I ever swung at her she WOULD take me out.
-
Maybe I'm barbaric. I would hit a woman (but only if she hit me first). Women can be pretty vicious in their own right without the physical stuff. For instance, selfishly throwing out logic and reason just because they always have to be right all the time. That's mental anguish for a man lol. I might still be bitter about my crazy ex gf though.
-
If you saw "this" lady coming at you, I don't believe "striking" her would do much good... On a more serious note though, I think if it's in self defense, then yes. Of course, The same rules should apply to women. I think that in most cases, you should only hit somebody in self defense. That means both men and women. Even if the woman is supposedly "weak", that doesn't make it right. And if she hits a man bigger than her, for whatever reason, I think he is justified in defending himself. So long as he doesn't take it over board of course.
-
ONly self defense. If a woman was coming at me with a knife and was going to stab me, I'd knock her out. Beyond that, there is no need to hit a woman, even when she pisses you off.
-
There's rarely justification to strike anyone - however - if you hit me, I'll probably hit you back - male or female.
-
only in mortal combat
-
Define justifiable.
-
Self defence.
-
yes. masochism.
-
There are very few women who could hurt me (physically) unless they were using a weapon. (Colt six shooter: the Great Equalizer in the American West--but I digress.) I have had women strike out at me and have always succeeded in restraining them. But, I can't imagine what I do that so enrages so many women with whom I have had what I thought were decent relationships. I know that it must be something in me--but I can't put my finger on it. Maybe I just choose the type of women who need to strike out physically. Were they to use a weapon I would not hesitate to put them down. It just hasn't happened.
-
I'd never hit my wife and haven't had reason to strike a woman
-
No and women there is never a justifiable reason to strike a man.
-
I don't like striking anybody, but if it stops me from being injured, so be it.
-
Earlier I answered no and I still mean it. However, if one has to defend them self from an attacker then I see a need to strike. Otherwise, violence gets no where !
-
If I seriously attack my man I'd expect for him to do what ever was neccessary to stop me, even if it meant hitting me.
-
No. Never.
-
No. Never.
-
Self defense, mutual combat or preventing a violent crime.
-
not unless she's totally buff and has a gun or b-ball bat
-
ive allways heard women complain that they wanted to be treated like women then complain that there not treated as eguals im sorry but im an equal opertunist if they do something that deserves it then yea but if not then no. cause old, young, male, female if some they deserve it then yes same for me.
-
In self-defense or some similar situation. Women can be just as dangerous as men and deserve no special treatment if they cross that line. Other than that, though, you shouldn't really be hitting anybody.
-
You should never do it out of anger. Playing around is always fun, but serious hitting is a definite no.
-
If she hits you first.
-
Only when she don't have my dinner on the table when I get home from work.
-
Well it would be hard to perform the donkey punch without striking her, but otherwise only in self defence
-
If a man is physically stronger than the woman who has struck him, why would he feel the need to strike her back, instead of restraining her, if she is out of control?, and the same goes for anyone for that matter. Why punch the person?
-
Only in self-defense...
-
i have been hit and kicked by my wife but i have only ever slap here ass while i fuck her i would never strike her in anger she cant hert me with her hits and kicks but i no i could her
-
if a woman thinks she can close her hand to make a fist, make a concious decision to throw a punch at a man's face, she better expect the same in return. Some women hit harder than some men. Good luck ladies, thinking your vagina will get you out of this one.
-
I would normally say no, but once I knew this girl who used to hit her boyfriend all the time. She was rotten to him and he took it for quite a while. One day he finally hauled off and hit her and we all thought that it was about time! In general, though, it's not something that should be considered. Unless, of course, a good spanking is in order! lol
-
I know I'm not a man either but my boyfriend is hurting me so much mentally that I wish he would just hit me because I really think that would hurt me less. Only people who deserve to be hit should be hit.
-
not no But HELLLLLL NOOOOOOO but i strongly beleive that women shouldnt be hitting men also to try and get them to strike back.
-
Self defense. If a woman is trying to stab me with a knife, I would knock her out. Beyond defending your life or the life of another, no, hitting a woman is unacceptable.
-
There is absolutely NO reason a man should hit a woman or a woman hit a man out of anger or control or any other reason. NEVER!! Why would anyone want to hit a person they are suppose to love? I did not know love was hitting......... Does that make sence?
-
Under NO circumstances should a man hit a woman. If a woman gets violent with a man then the man should only defend himself. Any man that beats women is not a man in my eyes. If a man wants to hit somebody, he should try hitting a "REAL" man
-
The only reason I can think of is if a woman is coming at me with a lethal weapon, for the purposes of seriously injuring or killing me. Weapons are the great equalizer - a woman with a knife can kill me just as easily as a man, all things being equal. Of course, I'm generalizing. The main reason why we think, socially, that men striking women is wrong because men are generally bigger and stronger than women. But if one of those huge bodybuilding women, or that Chyna from profressional wrestling was trying to start a fist fight with me, and I couldn't run away, which I'd prefer for a lot of reasons, I'd try (and fail miserably) to beat them down. But those are the exceptions. I think the rule shouldn't have to do with gender. It should be based on size and strength, and possibly on fighting skill (if a woman with special ops training is coming at me, to hurt me, weapon or no, I'll strike her because otherwise I really might get hurt if I can't run). The gender rule is usually good generalization, but there are exceptions.
-
as much as I want to say no ...I can't, seems a lot of todays females think they have balls and love to act as though they have in many many ways including throwing punches at men ...now I would normally keep my hands to my self and just walk away but if they kept throwing punches then I'm afraid I would have to throw one back (just one) to make her stop.. so yes in extreem cases my answer would be yes but it would go against everything I stand for
-
no no no no no there is no excuses what soever for hitting a women it is totally unacceptable and should not be tolerated. men who hit women should be ashamed of themselves.
-
If a women comes at you like a man then treat her like one, otherwise it is unexceptable.
-
THERE IS NO JUSTIFIABLE REASON TO STRIKE A WOMAN,CURSE, DEGRADE,OR ABUSE HER IN ANY WAY. YOU SHOULD TREAT HER AS A QUEEEN AND LOVE HER LIKE A KING WITH ALL YOUR HEART: SHE IS THE BACKBONE OF THE WORLD;HOW CAN YOU HAVE SONS AND DAUGHTERS WITHOUT WOMAN
-
Only if she is violently unreasonable- totally out of control- or if she is found beating a child.Ill smack anybody beating a child.
-
I'll tell you what, if a woman hits me unprovoked, with intent to do harm more than once, than I'm sorry momma, but yeah she's going down.
-
Striking a woman; It is in my honest opinion that situations dictate justification. My own rule as a gentleman; if a woman open handed smacks a man the man offended her and got an appropriate response. Now if the same woman were to curl hurl fist and punch that man her behavior is no longer lady like and she is anticipating a more combative response. Given the man and the woman in the given situation neither should ever underestimate their opponent and consider every possible way to resolve it without conflict. We are all capable of higher reason its time we started using it.
-
If she is trying to kill him, I say yes.
-
I like it when my wife spanks me. I am a naughty boy.
-
Men are pigs who beat women WITHOUT PROVOCATION. Women get beaten for BREATHING WRONG. Men deserve to get their asses beat and their balls cut off.
-
Look there's only two reason for a man to strike a woman if she's trying to shoot him or beating him with a weapon.
-
Normal situation, absolutely NO! If you are in law enforcement and you have to apprehend a female suspect, that different. Resisting arrest requires use of reasonable restraint. Most usually, though, she probably just get pepper sprayed.
-
In self defence yes, however men are normally much stronger than woman and if you just randomly went up to a woman and hit her this would be not only wrong but quite sick. I would say only in self defence and even then avoid physical contact with the woman at all costs. Even though it is unequal, men are more likely to be charged for assaulting a woman than a woman is for assaulting a man. Its wrong but hey its reality.
-
I have never hit a woman. But If my life was in danger I would do whatever it takes to end it.
-
Only if you cheats you and sleep with someone else.
-
It takes a bigger man to walk away
-
I think that many men suffer psychological and physical abuse and it is very rarely reported. Women can be highly manipulative and argumentative and it can leave a man feeling inadequate and immasculated. In these circumstances men may lash out out of frustration just to put an end to a situation he cannot control. I read one article that said that 60 percent of the women who appear at shelters for abused women are actually more aggressive than the men they live with. It takes two to tango.
-
there are ways of restraining a woman without physically hurting her
-
Of course. In Self Defence.
-
Yes
-
well i used to have 2 exs that used to hit me and the made me belive if a woman does wrong she deserves it but then i got out the siuation with my kids and i knew then it was wrong that they made me think that
-
Look, I come from a family full of women. I was the baby boy amongst three older girls, a mama, a grandmama, and aunts. ALL of them said if a little wench is bold enough to hit you, hit her behind back! Now, I'm not saying that if a woman slaps me, I'm going to attack her. NO, THAT IS NOT THE CASE! BUT if a woman is kicking my ass, I'm not going to be a gentleman. Once again, I'm not going to attack her like I would a man, but I'm going to give her a good one to protect myself.
-
If a woman starts the violence and cant be controlled by any other way then it is necessary.
-
no. if it would happen to me to feel like this, the answer is easier: leave. you haven't the rights to do something like that. you do not own her boby neither the soul. you can hit her only if she asks out to you, pretty kinky isn't it? and kinky things are hot, lol ahah depends... jk
-
The only time it is OK to strike someone is when you are in danger of being harmed or some innocent other is in danger of being harmed.
-
YOU GUYS ALL MISS THE POINT THIS SEEMS LIKE ITS TARGETED AT ALL THOSE PUSSY ASS GUYS WHO BEAT UP ON THEIR WIVES/GIRLFRIENDS.... WHY IS THAT RIGHT... WHEN IS IT RIGHT TO BEAT UP ON SOMEONE JUST BECAUSE YOU KNOW YOU CAN BEAT THEM DOWN... JUST TO FEEL GOOD ABOUT YOURSELF..... SOOOOOOOOOOOO POWERFUL!!! LOL.. HOW IS THAT RIGHT? ( I KNOW MORE OF YOU GUYS DO IT THEN WISH TO ADMIT)
-
This is a hard question. I agree with most of Highlander's reasons, I'd say only if you felt your life was in danger. Meaning she had a weapon, but would you really hit a women with a weapon! lol Otherwise there should be absolutely no reason to hit a woman.
-
Not in my world!
-
No a man cannot ever hit a Woman, In Texas I did a year probation and a 4000.00 fine for restraining my ex from beating me up. As the Law see it a Man can just walk away.
-
Yes absolutely. To treat a woman any differently than you would treat a man denies them their Equal Rights to be treated equally. I don't strike ANYONE unless I absolutely have to, but I will strike a woman the same way I will strike a man. A woman can stab/shoot you as quick as a man can.
-
Not at all. If a woman were to get violent you can only defend and protect but never hit.
-
No.Defend yes,there's a difference though. Andyes there are women who physically abuse their men,and the reason you hear about men abusing women more often is because there's more women being physically abuse by men than there are men being abused by women.And 12,000 women dies this year from abuse by men,men are naturally stronger than women,so while we may be trying to push a girl away when she's hitting us,we may knock her out and kill her or hurt her bad
-
There is never a justifiable reason to strike any human, man or woman. Imagine if everyone lived by that philosophy.
