  • Any man who hits a woman is an overbearing, pompus ass. Any woman who hits a man is an overbearing, pompus ass. Just my opinion.
  • No one taught them. Its just a common human reaction to do so. "When the strong are suppressed and the weak have more rights then the strong, then the strong become the weak and the weak become the strong". Women that hit men should know full well that what they are doing is wrong, and if they think that its alright to do it and get away with it, then i litterally have no problem with a guy hitting her back (I, specifically me, wouldnt hit a woman).
  • I don't know who's big idea it was but Television popularized it with the "how dare you " slap. Personally I think if you hit, male or female, you should expect a return volley.
  • I don't know what started it.... but it's disgusting that a man hitting a woman is seen as horrid, whilst a woman hitting a man is seen as funny. You see it all the time on television, women hit men and everyone laughs. It's unfair. No one should be hitting anyone except in self-defence.
  • I don't know, but someone, male or female, who believes that violence may be justified. And those people suck, I would hit someone only if they were putting my life in danger and had to defend myself. Personally, it shouldn't be okay to hit anyone for any reason, but hey wtf do I know. Extreme feminists perhaps? No better than extreme masculinists, really. (If such be teh proper wordinz.)
  • its revenge for when a man was allowed to hit women with sticks not thinker that a thumb. revenge revenge. and since its the weaker they get more shots :) haha
  • No one around here. I taught my sons the three hit rule. It's like this. The first time a girl hits one of my boys they are to ask the girl not to do that again. The second time the girl hits the boys are to remind the girl and again ask nicely not to be struck. The third time is the warning my boys were told to tell the girl that they will hit back if struck again. The fourth time she hits he hits back. End of story some girls need to be knocked around to get them to realize boys aren't punching bags.
  • No one taught them, but there seems to be the idea, cultivated by the media in movies, t.v., literature, etc., that it's "okay" for women to hit men, because they are generally weaker and their blows do not do as much damage or cause as much hurt. Old-fashioned ideas based on chivalry, where women are supposed to be treated in a special "privileged" manner, are also to blame. But it is NOT okay for them to hit men, just as it is not okay for men to hit women. If you want respect, you have to show respect. Both sexes need to respect one another and get away from old-fashioned "warped" thinking.
  • I have no idea, but it needs to stop. Every time a girl slaps me, I slap her back. I get punched? I punch back. Funny thing is, the woman is the one who freaks out and tells me I'm not supposed to hit them. But I stand there, with very little expression on my face, and simply say, "How come you can hit me? All men created equal, right?"
  • Quit complaining, getting slapped by a girl is not that bad. Man up.
  • I could ask the same question of men. Who taught people that it was okay to use violence against one another as a method for conflict resolution? Most of the time if I, personally, am hitting someone, it's because I'm sparring them and we have all of the necessary equipment to prevent injury. The only other times I've hit people have been out of self-defense.
  • I get horny when a girl hits me
  • Probably the same person that taught anyone to hit anyone. +5
  • It could be a learned coping mechanism from the family in which they grew up. There's absolutely no excuse for either sex. It shows you've run out of brain power and have to resort to physicality. Totally wrong no matter who does it. When hit, call the police. Bet the perp won't do it again when there's consequences.
  • I don't know. I was taught not to hit anyone, man or woman, unless it was in self-defense and I am a woman. My husband was taught to never hit a woman unless that woman was beating on his girl then it was alright to intercede but carefully. I do not believe either sex should be hitting each other. Violence is not the answer.
  • Yes, an A@@hole and adumba@@. Women shouldn't hit men like men aren't suppose to hit women. The rule goes BOTH ways.
  • Some of their friends in a cheap talk.
  • I am not sure that anyone ever taught them it was o.k. I think we were taught that it was not o.k. to hit a woman. (I would say girl, as in at school. By the time you are adult you should be able to resolve your conflicts differetnly). The result was that, if they let fly, we didn't, a fact some may have made note of and logically reasoned they could get away with it. . This si all a guess but I can't help thinking though that this also goes back to times even earlier when society was truly patriarchal and women were treated more as chattel. While men definately would have been taught they couold not him, most women believing themselves probably couldn't manage more than a weak slap. Not physiologicaly, just the way they were taught a woman behaves. Just as they were taught to swoom afterwrds ;D . Maybe some things have changed while others haven't?
  • I don't think this is the norm for women, but there definately is a double standard. Gender roles dictate that a "real man" should not be bothered when a woman hits them - the idea of the "weaker sex" showing physical aggression toward men can be seen as humourous, like a kitten trying to attack a lion. There is seldom an issue made of this because it is either viewed as no big deal - what physical harm could possibly result from such a scenerio, or the man is too reluctant to speak up due to embarrassment. It goes both ways though - aside from defending one's self, physical abuse toward either gender is not okay.
