This topic came up today between me and my friends and I wanted to see what you guys think. Do you think it is okay for a guy to hit a girl? I'm not talking like abusive relationship hitting; i'm talking about if she is absolutely beating the crap out of him, there really is no self defense for him. So is he just supposed to take it? If not, what should he do. I couldn't come up with an answer for this.
I think that it has to be a certain situation. If the guy is not getting hurt he shouldn't hit her, but if the guy is one of those wimpy dudes and a black girl (no offense) he should try to defend himself if people are like crowded around I mean don't get the shiz beat out of you but if its not that bad and your just like whatever you shouldn't hurt that person.
Well yeah, of course he's allowed to hit her. Playing the gender card in such a situation would never work. However, just like in any other fight, the male should try and either flee or shove her away and then make a run for it. It's always about trying to use not more violence than what is necessary to defend yourself in the specific situation.
In my opinion: If a girl wants to act like a man, she can take a hit like one as well. Heat, out of kitchen, etc.
rofl.. i agree girls know that a guy wouldnt hit her, thats why they attack guys.. but i wouldnt care.. im not gonna stand there getting abused... i would let her go a few times with warnings.. after that i would just take her down.. girls need to learn not to rely on the belief that she can do what ever she wants to a guy and not expect to get hit back
There is always the sterotypical fragility that males would have to worry about, however. Scratch your eyes out, tear at your face... But even one decent bruise on her, is usually enough to sway a sympathetic jury / judge.
If a girl was there beating me, I would straight up punch her in the face. I don't care who you are or what your excuse is, if you hit me I am gonna hit you back.
It's alright to hit a girl in self-defense. But if a guy and a girl were having an argument, and she hits him, and in the heat of the moment he hits her back, I don't think that's appropriate. But if that was the case, I would attempt to restrain her, such as grabbing her wrists or dodging the hits if possible. So hitting a girl should only be as a last resort.
I don't understand why girls should get a special protection from beating, i think gender is irrelevant, so neither gender should get any special treatment hitting should always be a last resort, period.
When I was in school, and we were playing basketball, many of the girls would hit a boys arms or slap their hands to try to get the ball. One of the guys lost his temper, and struck back. He winded the girl, and she had to go to the infirmary. Women are generally smaller. They have less physical strength as men. It's frowned upon because men can inflict much more damage to them. It's not okay for women to hit men in the first place, but it's that much worse for men to hit back. If the woman is the initiator of a fight, then of course you can defend yourself. But if a man hits a woman because of disrespectful words, that's unreasonable. If a woman starts a fight assuming that she won't get hurt, that's unfair. Women expect gender equality, she shouldn't be doing this expecting special treatment because of her gender. I've seen on tv when a woman slaps a man. Nobody bats an eyelid. But if a man slaps back, there will be a larger reaction. It's the social stigma that's been brought up within us. It's been the way many people are raised. I've been taught that hitting girls is wrong. But I won't hesitate to hit a girl, if all other options have been used up.
I'm a girl and I think it would be perfectly okay for a guy to hit a girl, for self defense. The whole 'equality' thing between men and women just doesn't really work. As in, same job opportunities, etc. But men are still supposed to be chivalrous etc. Not really fair on men.
I don't think it's okay to just hit a girl because you're angry. If she's beating the crap out of you, I can see shoving, trying to get her away, and if nothing else works hitting back. But as far as just up and slapping a girl if you're a man...no way.
If it's for self defence I think it's alowed to hit a girl. I totally agree with the person who said that if a girl is not acting like one, then she would not need to have a special treatment.
I think some girls will start on a boy knowing (thinking) they wont hit back. I think a not too hard hit back will soon put them straight. However if they kicking the cr*p outta you then you gotta do what it takes IMHO
in that situation, yeah but when you get her to stop and off of you, then just leav it alone, dont continually beat the crap after her aftewards
