If a girl hits you, can you hit her back as a man?
If you come at someone in violence; it is reasonable to assume that they will return your violence with violence. It may or may not be proportional. So it is best to never start anything; even if you are confident in your abilities in a fight. You never know if the other person is ready to go nuclear on you.

You can always defend yourself, but that doesn't mean you can just hit her back. Maybe you can just restrain her or just walk away... no, that's not unmanly.

Yes you can hit her back, they wanted equal rights, well it comes with equal lefts.
No matter who it is if it's just one hit you're better off getting prove and going to the police and filing an assult and battery case.
And who ever it is if they keep hitting you, do whatever you need to to make them stop, no exception, it dozent have to be fair, they started it, so they excepted the terms. I don't care if it's a person in a wheelcare that won't stop punching you in the ribs, do what you've got to do, kick them in the face, knock them over, roll them down some fucking stairs, inam under no obligation to be a punching bag cause your legs don't work.
Hell if a little person was kicking my shin and bitting my knee, I'd fuck them up to, time to see how far I can throw a dwarf.
If a woman slaps me in the face for a reason I don't at all agree with I'll show her what a real slap is.
I'll hold back against kids and the mentally handicapped cause those 2 don't know better, but any grown person who think "you can't hit me back cause I'm -blank-", they are dead fucking wrong.
If some 90 pound chick is whailing on me, scratching me, trying to pull my hair, I'm not just gonna let her cause she's half my weight I'll yell "knock it off" one time, then I'm picking her and swinging her into a wall, no different to me than if a scrawny tiny guy started something, not my fault you're a weak little bitch that starts shit you can't possible win. - 350 opinions shared on Dating topic.
One commenter on Youtube hit the nail on the head: "If it was socially acceptable to hit women, this never would have happened. The only reason she put her hands on him is because she never thought in a million years shed get ktfo by a then college running back."
In other words, the only reason she did what she did was she felt safe, protected by her privilege. She waited until he was walking away, then she went and shoved him. Then when he didn't strike/push her back, but got in her face, she decided she had the privilege to slap him. As the commenter said, if she was in a society where men and women were equal and women weren't protected by a social norm of 'you don't hit women if you're a man', then she wouldn't have pursued violence (unless she was stupid). - 547 opinions shared on Dating topic.
The man in the video is a professional American football player. The incident began outside with an exchange of words and various (reported) slurs. The girl walked inside, and the man followed her... which was a mistake. More arguing, followed by her shoving him and slapping at his face. He punched her, resulting in a fall which broken four bones in her face and required surgery.
Criminal charges lead to the man receiving a one-year suspended sentence and was ordered to undergo violence counseling along with performing 100 hours of community service. The civil suit was settled out of court for an undisclosed amount. He also apologized to the woman. -
It’s similar to if a smaller guy hits you, slaps you and you know you can bury them.
you don’t, it’s just pointless decking someone when you don’t need to, just rise about it.
Also similar to why there is a push not to have trans boxers fight women, the entire bone structure, density and mass etc makes it wrong.
Yeah if your life is threatened, then no problem ending them never minding punching them.
There are ways to restrain someone without resorting to punching them out. -
In my opinion, yes you absolutely can hit back if a woman hits you first, BUT not overdo it. You can match her level of assault but like, knocking her out because she slapped you or pushed you is too much. And I’m not saying that because she’s a woman, I would say the same thing if it was a male vs male thing. If a guy pushes you (who are also a guy), you shouldn’t respond by knocking him out. You are allowed to use whatever force needed to protect yourself and get the other person of off you, but it kind of ends there. Hitting them back 10 times harder is not ok in my opinion.

I'm not sure. I try my best not to even if she makes fun of me because I don't. Hitting a person is normally no solution I rather leave the room.
I've been bullied at school and I'm used to people laughing at or about me so you don't anger me in a normal situation.
If I'm already triggered or moody I warn a person to stop it but I would rather push a person away than hitting him or her because it happened in a school incident that I broke a person's nose because he cornered me and angered me to a point where I saw no other solution. -
It all is situational and depends on the aggression of the woman. It would need to be pretty substantial (ie: taken a few hits already, at risk of moderate bodily harm and options 1 / 2 didn't work) to return throwing blows.
That said, option 1 would be to move more towards an avoidance stance/status and then escalate to option 2: grappling/restraining mode afterwards if they kept pursuing/escalating the situation. If those two failed and things kept escalating (IE: She pulls a knife, blunt object, rakes the face with her nails, etc)/ more direct threat of physical harm, then more physical force could be used including punches, kicks, body shots, blood chokes (avoid trachea chokes!) and other force needed to ensure my safety and neutralize the threat. - 934 opinions shared on Dating topic.
Women are kinda doin loose hands now a days without morals
In the name of feminism or just playing the Vcard you can't attack someone and later pretend to be weak.
How can someone really expect i hit you with so much tensile strength and you should use the same force there is no standard force to hit someone.
Don't want to be hit don't hit
If you respect others , others will respect you.
If you don't want men to behave like dogs don't be a bitch 😹.
It's not about only self defense but little bit of respect and yes a bit of ego.
You wanted to show your dominance by hitting , they showed there dominance by the way they understand it.
Just a simple question you know that a man is weak in the balls would any women in same situation if hit by man would or would it not try to hit his balls? - 1.6K opinions shared on Dating topic.
Eliminate the threat.
Respond with as much force as is needed to stop the altercation.
She had NO business touching him at all.
He responded with too much force.
Yes, it was heat of the moment.
He still should have been charged.
I'm tired of sports announcers thinking they have any say in what should happen. It's all a criminal/civil case and should be worked out in court.
Just like I'm sick of news agencies reporting about an athlete caught committing a crime and then posting their stats at the bottom of the article. Who TF cares?
His running yards for the last season are irrelevant when he's going to jail for rape or murder or selling drugs. - 310 opinions shared on Dating topic.
As a martial arts student (not politician), you're only allowed to defend yourself if needed and use suitable force to get out.
For instance if someone is about to slap you, then you block the arm and they aren't doing anything else, that's fine.
If you then proceed to breaking their wrist, punch them and overdo it for the sake of equality, that's not self-defense. -
Did you notice that loser ran away as fast as he could, afraid a real man would beat the shit out of him? That woman slapped him. Not hard.
He's trash for punching her as he did and that's why he ran away like a kicked mongrel dog before he got his ass kicked. Too bad. If he'd gotten into a fight with a man he'd have wailed like a bitch & shit himself. - 525 opinions shared on Dating topic.
But honestly, yes? But hope they don't find you if she doesn't get back up... or is breathin'. But hey, if you put your hands on me that way, I'd probably react the same.

OW!! He did NOT hold back! And she hit the table on the way too. I think you can and should. Yes. Should. Any person who is willing to be violent also agrees to any violent consequences. If you hit with all your might, I think it's okay for the defender to do the same. Just as much effort as the attacker. If the defender happens to be stronger, too bad, same effort! If you want to attack someone swing wisely or not at all.

You just don't.
My baby momma... she made me understand the concept of spouse abuse, but o still can't condone it.
Violence can only escalate into something worse. Just like drugs. she is wrong too, by the way, but he is required be the better person and just walk away.
Not suggesting that women are the weaker sex. And not saying women can't fight, but on on the average men are stronger and can hit harder.
If there is no honor in doing something, then what do you get from it? -
It depends on the relative difference. A linebacker shouldn't hit a frail 80 year old lady, nor should you retaliate and hit a 5 year old child. However, there are a few big, athletic women that are considerably bigger and stronger than the average man. In that event, the man should have the right to defend himself.

My logic is a slap could be from some action I did and is worth listening to an explanation about. A closed fist, foot, or weapon is assault and absolutely needs to be vigilantly if not ruthlessly retaliated against. If there's a fear of gaslighting or whatever, take preventative action. Take them for a ride, throw them out into a blighted area with no phone or shoes. There's very little chance you'll see them again.

Equal rights and lefts. Don't hit anyone unless you're willing to pay the consequences. I'd beat the sh*t out of anyone over the age of 15. I seriously don't like being touched in that way, and I'm not quite over some past traumas I have with it. I don't think one should use excessive force, but they can definitely use more force than what was given. It'd teach the attacker a lesson. Don't go poking bears unless you've got a shotgun ready.

That's a very bad example, in that vid.
There is such a thing as "excessive force".
Unless that kid was a cop, he can and should be sued for grievous harm in the least.
Sure the girl will carry a charge as well, but it all hinges on what is said by the parties to lead up to the escalation. -
It's called self defense. And i bet every guy who gets into a situation like that tries to hold back on the power since it's a girl, and they still try to be somewhat careful to not hurt her too much..
After watching the video, the guy kinda overdid it in this case, still it doesn't mean he assaulted her. The girl slapping his ear what caused this to happen. The guy retaliated that with one punch.
If he continued to hit her repeatedly i think that would be an assault, at least in this case. He warned her to not do it, then she proceeded to assault him after already kinda provoking and assaulting him with that shove.
Inb4 someone says a shove is not really an assault. What if the roles were reversed and the guy shoves the girl first, then slaps her ear? Then she punches the guy. Would the girl get charged with an assault?
