If a girl hits you, can you hit her back as a man?

Question

Perfect example of video

Anonymous · Accepted Answer

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.

Equal rights equal fights, bro. I'd never judge a dude for hitting a girl back.

AviatorTom · Answer

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.

TonyV · Answer

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.

zeitgeist057 · Answer

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).

MTC29 · Answer

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.

ChrisMaster69 · Answer

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.

Anonymous · Answer

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.

SimpleGuy95 · Answer

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.

Minerate · Answer

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.

Aakash_Hangargi · Answer

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?

Andres77 · Answer

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.

Vesuvius87 · Answer

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.

APrettyLittleLady87 · Answer

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.

Sour-rose · Answer

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.

Ms_Facesitter · Answer

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.

PastorJohn69 · Answer

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?

KelleyNice · Answer

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.

razelove · Answer

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.

MCheetah · Answer

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.

jshm2 · Answer

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.

Anonymous · Answer

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?

ArtemisSilver · Answer

Yes but only if there's really no other option and only until she stops attacking you or the person you're protecting.

I've been a bouncer and I hated it when chicks got crazy because I'd have to wrestle em down and zip tie them and always file a police report with whiteness statements validating my actions. Pain in my ass.

libsaretards · Answer

Depends. If a means of escape is available then I would not hit her. Even when ALL evidence points to the guy being in the right he will still be crucified socially. I can heal from a few cuts and bruises but my reputation matters more to me. Then again I have training to be able to stop someone hitting me without having to strike back.

Cherry234 · Answer

If she's attacking you then you can hit her back out of self defense. I mean if she's beating the crap out of you. However, if she slaps you then don't knock her out.

melanieeeB · Answer

You should actually never hit someone else, unless you're in a real dangerous situation where violence is necessary.
She shouldn't have hit him in the first place, but still that doesn't justify hitting someone back

NamerOfStars · Answer

You're armost always better off, both morally AND legally, trying to get away instead of trying to flatten someone, but if it comes to blows, then gender doesn't enter into it. Neither the cops nor the jury will see it that way, but it's true.

Emilyis · Answer

If a woman EVER hit my husband I would absolute expect him to just knock the shit out of her and I would welcome the chance to bail him out of jail.

loveslongnails · Answer

That depends on the "hit". If she slaps you because you're being fresh, or stupidly inappropriate, then you take it. If she hits you with a baseball bat, or a cast iron skillet, then you defend yourself.

lightbulb27 · Answer

Other: That looked over the top, but first glance. don't know what was going on. dont' think need to deck her, he's bigger than her. Id say same if was male/male. try to rachet it down.

Whatever2929292 · Answer

DEPENDS! If it is self defense and you're just trying to defend yourself then yes. But if you are just retaliating you are risking getting yourself into trouble

Freyke · Answer

Although I don't think it's right, she should get the same charges as the guy. A woman should not be allowed to slap a man and get away with it. Self defense is right. Do what you have to do to protect yourself from the attacker.

sirderpsalot123 · Answer

Yes but don't use excessive force. All you have to do is barely put your hands on her and she'll stop. Women aren't stupid, they don't want to fight a man, they will stop the second they know that you aren't just going to stand there and take it.

ChooChooHaha · Answer

Man or woman, don't hit people (unless it's obviously self defense).

TacosRAwesome · Answer

You can hit in similar level of force to her. Like if she slaps you, it's fine to slap back. If she's coming at you with a knife it's fine to knock her out.

exitseven · Answer

I know a lot of people including women will give me crap about this but the answer is no. Unless she has a gun or some other weapon and your life is in peril there is no excuse for hitting a woman.

HighValue · Answer

Yes. It is okay to hit her back as hard as you can. It doesn't matter if she is 120 pounds and I am 260, if she hits me then it is fine to hit her back full force.

Phoenix98 · Answer

I’m of the opinion that no one is above getting hit. and if someone hits you defend yourself accordingly.

snackthatsmilesback · Answer

Obviously. The question is do you want to? Personally I don't wanna get in fights anymore—don't want the medical or legal risks—regardless of their gender.

dustybiker · Answer

Not if you have any self respect. It’s your own head you sleep with at night. Same as her if she started it.

qwert1234 · Answer

I would advise just walk away. Don't stick up on crazies. Then again, if you are backed up, or is in any sort of danger, feel free to act out of self defense. Emphasis on self-defense.

FunkyMonkee · Answer

I don't see why she gets a free pass. What if she hits you in the head with a baseball bat? Are you supposed to just stand there and take it and wait for her to hit you again?

slatyb · Answer

Only if you are in danger of injury from further assault. Even then you are obligated to use the minimum force necessary.

DaisyM23 · Answer

but know your own strength and adapt accordingly you know?

blissinanarchy1 · Answer

Yep. I'm all for equality. For those who wouldn't defend themselves because hitting a girl back is "pussy", then feel free, get hit

Rockstarrrrr · Answer

No it's disgusting i I would never do that.. The closest I got was a crazy girl and I just restrained her until she realized she was acting stupid and stopped it...

douride2 · Answer

You should only use enough force to protect & defend yourself.

SamIam96 · Answer

NO. WTF. Unless she's a trained fighter, be a man. Control your impulses.

TommyMountainFigure · Answer

I would NEVER hit a woman. Besides, there are lots of ways to restrain her without hitting anyway.

Chthou95 · Answer

Absolutely. If a woman hits and is still continuing to do so, hit her back. I don't believe in this "never hit a girl" bullshit. Women want equality. Well part of equality is being able to take what you dish out

bolverk · Answer

In this era of 'Equality' if a woman hauls off at a man then she must expect receiving the same in kind,

Mynameisbobby · Answer

I think you should in self defense yes! So if she attacks you first same if it were a guy. But the response should be appropriate.

KrakenAttackin · Answer

In 2022 a woman who strikes a man SHOULD expect to be hit back, BUT we know the Simp Nation will always come down on her side (incl police and courts).

Aiko_E_Lara · Answer

We should. Even Steven and self defense. I would love to be this guy

Subarugirl · Answer

Legally, you shouldn’t hit anyone unless it’s in self defense.

roy_ricky09 · Answer

Why not... No one has the right to hit you, if they do, you should defend yourself doesn't matter the gender.

Bklynbadboy12 · Answer

I mean you can but I won't I'm 6'5 272 pound if I hit a girl I'd probably take her head off so I wouldn't now I would restrain her until the police showed up

Anonymous · Answer

I don't care who someone is, they hit me, I'll hit back.

Don't want to get hit back, don't him me in the first place.

NOBODY should be hitting ANYBODY, so if you get hit back, it's your own damn fault.

Hispanic-Cool-Guy · Answer

If a woman hits me on my face there's a very good chance I will hit her back.  As an adult you shouldn't put your hands on another adult.

If she wants to act like a man I'll treat her like a man.
