Hitting a girl is acceptable... -only if your life depended on it -if you wanted your she-boss to fire you
I think its totally okay. If she gets out of line, give her a quick smack with the other side of the hand. SMACK. That'll teach her a thing or two to mess with you next time. I like open fist moreso than closed fist, its more embarassing for the one getting hit. Also very demoralizing to get smacked than punched in the face.
It sucks a guy hits a girl he gets charged... Girl hits a guy, like the cops are gonna charge em... the bloke would be too embarrest to press charges
ive actually been in one of these situations before lol i know its sad to say but she started hitting me and i just pushed her off me then my gf handles it
you can stop a girl from hurting you without hitting her. 4 years of highschool wrestling always does the trick not that there are alot of girls beating the crap out of me regularly
I would agree. If it's in self-defense then male or female doesn't really make a difference. It would just look bad to society, I suppose.
Theres a lot of factors i guess. If it was like some butch black belt karate chick on some elderly folk, sure. Show your male dominance. But if it was like.. Some chick, and she was just pissed and started to slap/punch/kick. Dude, if you fight back, socially your going to look like a wuss. Might as well take it, the bruises you get are far better than being branded a woman-hitter. Though if shes seriously going for your life - with a knife/bat etc - then its time to save your own neck. Its no longer gender, its survival.
I don't think there's ever a reason for physical violence. but, if a girl attacks you, you either really deserved it and should hence take the beating, or she's in need of psychiatric help and there are ways of restraining her without using physical violence. I don't think you should hit anyone. ever. though, I don't think that a guy should be labled a woman hitter if he strikes back in self-defence. There are some pretty butch woman out there that could easily kick the spit out of anyone, and it isn't right for the guy to just take the beating for fear of social stigma. but I am all for resolving conflicts without resorting to violence.
I kinda agree with you. But do you think pacifism is the answer? I myself am bhudist-esque and they teach you to accept and bad karma and cop it on the chin. But i find myself asking, if someone threatens your wellbeing or a loved ones, isn't your right AND duty to respond with defensive force? Real moral/spiritual pickle im in.. damn Terry Goodking (not many people will get this last bit)
I don't understand why this topic gets so much debate... is it that big a deal? Are people worried about making an unpopular statement? Because saying "I would flatten a female who physically attacked me." is not the same thing as saying "I'll smack my girlfriend if she gets out of line." I don't know.... I guess if you think someone should have the right to hit you without fear of reprisal, then that's how you feel. Viva la difference.
Hehe it probaly is the whole social stigma with hitting a female that makes us hesitant to even admit self-defence against a girl.. Ironically its probaly the social high-horse physically males are put in, from a young age we read/hear/experience that men have to be the knights in shining armours, women cant protect themselves and we must look after them etc etc. And its not like its not justified, trip a guy and he'll grunt and get angry, trip a girl and she'll probaly squeal. dreamlorde, theres not many i know that would be ablle to probaly even fight back against women. Men are usually the extreme, all squimish about it or all out woman hitters.. unless theres something your not telling me hahahaha
Personally, if it were a fifteen year old guy, and a small 7 year old child, they shouldn't hit them back, they should simply tell their parents, trust me, its the kinder thing to do, smaller children...well, obviously are a lot weaker, so...if you hit a small child, assume there will be tears and a lot of tattling of course.
Well if this guy is getting an absolute beatdown, I'm sure this girl can withstand a punch or two, because the guys either really weak or the girl's beyond average strength.
Yes. Simple as that I practice Chan Gung Fu.... monks don't really believe that That comes from the idiotic western mystical perception of the east happiness comes from not wanting simple.
lol... there's a ton I'm not telling you... but i'm not either of those guys. You're def. right, it usually is only one or the other, but it isn't hard to be a guy who would only hit a woman under certain circumstances - a.k.a me. It just requires knowing who you are and knowing where you stand on certain subjects. I didn't copy much from John Wayne, but this philosophy stuck with me: "I will not be wronged, I will not be insulted, and I won't be laid a hand upon. I don't do these things to other people and I require the same from them." John Wayne - The Shootist
Usually most boys won't "hit" a girl even if it is a playful pat. But my friend did tell me of one guy who freaked out and punched a girl on her face when she bumped into him. (She started crying because her nose was bleeding ) I think it really depends on the person. If you're not a total psycho usually you won't hit a girl unless she's really beating the crap out of you.
I like that saying, its pretty much a crystalisation of the values that shine through the books by Terry Goodkind. But in reality, in shitty shitty reality, you have to learn to take other people 'wronging' and 'insulting' you or else you'll be punching every second wanker. What.. the fuck... thats pretty messed up. Was he like really on edge before it happened? Or did he just lose it because he got bumped into?
Well, you don't necessarily punch people for all of the above. But you don't have to tolerate it either. You can demand apology, write people out of your life, act as though they don't exist, find a suitable revenge that won't land you in jail - there are plenty of options, each one suited to different situations.
If a butch girl was hitting me... I'd just run away. Naw, I'd try to talk to the sheman and ask why she would like to obliterate me. I'd just talk it through.
