Guys, Would you hit a girl if it was self defense?

Question

I’m a freshman in high school and today we had three fights happen in less than an hour. Two boys fought, two girls fought and a boy and girl fought. Now the third fight was the big talk of the school because nobody could believe that this guy hit a girl. I have been friend with this guy for 4 years now and I have never seen him so angry. This girl was running her mouth nonstop and suddenly decided to hit him several times in the mouth busting his lip. He tried to stay calm but she just kept coming at him so he hit her back out of self defense. Do you guys think what he did was wrong or did he have the right to fight back.

I don't know if this will make any sense to you or not I do not believe in hitting girls I believe in Walking Away 100% I mean even taking a punch and walking away that's just who I am

Now in saying that I dated a girl once and she used to brag about beating up her boyfriend's and she thought she was a little badass because she would do things and they would not hit her back and since she had that in her head she abused that situation and I told her well I don't believe in hitting women I don't believe in hitting anybody really but if I have to I have to

One night we are sitting around b*********** couple friends and she started bragging on what she would do to these guys that were her boyfriend and just the Cockiness from it pissed me off and I told her straight up well if you ever put me in a situation like that thinking that you were going to get away with something I would think twice because I would knock your ass out I don't believe on hitting girls but when you come at me like that I would knock your ass out just to do it to show you you're not all that. The people that were there agreed with me too but neither here nor there

Well one day it happened we were going to break up I wanted her to get her things and go she had just told him a bunch of stuff from a friend of mine which kind of blew me away but I caught her at it I went and retrieved all the stuff that she had taken from him and when she was getting her things at the very end she started walking towards me and I can see it in her eyes when she was going to do I started walking towards her and I told her if you were man enough to swing at me you better make sure you get a good shot because you're going down and you're going to go down harder than any guys that I've ever hit just because of principal and in that moment she can see it in my eyes that I was serious she ended up walking right past me but I know for a fact that she was going to swing at me and I would have hit her just because of principal just because she thought she could get away with it and that is totally wrong for a girl to use that and then cry b******* after the guy hits her I could say that I felt bad about wanting to do this but I don't feel bad about it if that's the position she wants to put me in because of her rights and she knows exactly who I am and my beliefs thinking that I was not hit her back she was mistaken I don't believe in hitting women but when a woman comes at you thinking that it's going to be okay that guys just going to walk away because they're a girl that's bullcrap cuz in that moment they're acting like a man a stupid f****** man so they're going to get treated like a stupid f****** man

He's right 100% wtf, she's lucky she's a woman because if it was 2 dudes once someone got too close the other would've started swinging, that bitch got what she deserved thinking she can do whatever she wants just because she has a vagina, from the sounds of it you agree with me so yea don't worry he was right and I hope you support him through it and defend him if people talk shit because there'll be a lot of talk about how he's a woman beater now

Blackcosmo · Accepted Answer

Yes of course that's good of him to do. That brat deserved that and she hit him several times so he should have hit her more.

Missgingles · Accepted Answer

What he did was good. She need to learn that if you threat someone bigger there are big concequences to it.

Sour-rose · Answer

Hey, not a guy but if the bish is going crazy and getting threatening, do it. Knock the bish out if you need to, no judgement

After the busted lip I can’t blame him for going ham

I know when it comes down to what I hit a woman the answer is yes. There was a time when I thought hitting a woman was one of the worst things you could do but I have been enlightened. When I was about 14 my sister abused me she was like 20 something And my mother had been abusing me almost my whole life then there was my dad who almost never laid a finger on me.

If I’m being honest the straw that broke the camels back had nothing to do with my mother or sister. You see I had watched a lot of news and had been noticing a lot of things going around in my high school and realized that if a woman were to kick a man in the nuts almost nothing would happen to her whereas if a man were to backhand a woman in the same circumstances he would serve jail time. Now it was this favoritism and inequality that made me discover that women aren’t as beautiful as we make them out to me and they’re not as special as we make them out to be ultimately they are just humans just like me and if a human punches me in the face that human better expect me to deal twice that in damage.

Absolutely. I'd hit her as hard as a man. I'd knock her teeth out, same as I would a man. And if anyone has a problem with that, I'd knock their White Knight, pussy teeth out, too.

I got a real bad trigger when it comes to that kind of stuff. I wasn't bullied in school, but I have family drama in the past. I did do martial arts and that calmed me down somewhat, but I don't play around when it comes to actual violence against me, because I WILL revert back to Crazy Mode if I'm pushed hard enough. Whoever it is doing it, is irrelevant. If they're over the age of 15, all bets are off.

I don't believe in "chivalry" or "benevolent sexism" with this "don't hit a woman" BS. I'm egalitarian. EVERYONE should keep their hands to themselves. And if they can't, then you get what you fucking deserve: your blood on the ground.

itsJay · Answer

So I know a lot of people nowadays would probably say self defense is okay regardless of gender, and would defend the guy's action. Honestly, I probably would too.

But if it was actually me.. I wouldn't. At most, I would break loose and push her off me, maybe even restrain her to hand her off to someone else, but I would never hit a girl in even self defense. If I had a girl, I would absolutely save her from an attack of other girls if that were to ever happen. But you would never see me throwing hands at women.

MrOracle · Answer

Would I? Absolutely.

Would my strike be measured to the situation? Absolutely.

I would do my best to use enough force to get her to stop her attack and nothing more. But I'm certainly not going to stay and let her hit me and do nothing in return. And I'm not going to punch out a girl who only gave me a little slap, much less some girl who is just yelling.

If you strike someone, you damn well better expect to be hit back.

self-defense is NEVER wrong. Too many pussified guys believe guys should never hit a girl even if she's beating on him. My friend has 75% vision loss in both eyes because he tried walking away when a crazy bitch with claws for fingernails was attacking him. He morally and legally had every right to knock her ass out to defend himself, but he's like too many guys on here. Whipped. Pussified. Feminist man-haters, so he didn't think he should defend himself.
Now me on the other hand, I've knocked out more than one bitch when they were attempting to rob me on the street. I have a hard time believing anyone would think that's wrong. But then again, lots of guys around with no balls and even less common sense.

The true cost of equality that most people want to ignore, deny and even prevent is CONSEQUENCES. One of the consequences of hitting someone is getting hit back. He was well within his rights to hit her back. Though i’m fairly certain he wasn’t treated that way by the powers that be.

Caliguy88 · Answer

If she was getting violent I’d just like squeeze her arms and tell her to calm down. I’m a fairly big and strong guy. If a girl was like beating a small guy I wouldn’t blame him for hitting her if that’s what he needs to do to protect himself. But I think he needs to get the fuck out of there if that’s happening.

NewsReader · Answer

Definitely. Being a girl does not give you the right to abuse others. If she hit him first, she is the suspect / attacker. He is the victim and has the right to defend himself. I got into a fight with a girl in high school. She slapped me twice. I easily took her down. And she was like "I'm gonna kill you! I'm gonna kill you!"while I was walking away from the scene. She never looked me in the eye again.

Anonymous · Answer

If a girl punches me in the mouth, she's going to get the same right back from me, full force.

Let me put it to you this way... anyone who picks a physical fight with a bigger and stronger person is an idiot and deserves to get his/her ass kicked. Gender doesn't matter.

Welcome to gender equality.

HighValue · Answer

Yes. If she hits me once, I get to hit her back as hard as I can in her face even though I am 6' tall, weigh 260 pounds and lift weights. She should keep her hands to herself or be prepared to suffer the consequences, even if the punch kills her.

RiseofArtemis · Answer

Yeah sure, as the Great Kazuma Satou said. "I yearn for true gender equality." Which means if she hits me I hit her back. The moment you attack another person you lost your female privilege to not be hit.

Lionman95 · Answer

Yes I would though I would warn her first. I have red lines if they are ignored that comes with consequences no matter who the other person is.

TroyDT · Answer

I've been struck by guys and girls on whom I have 8" or more and 60 or more pounds. I generally laugh and walk away from these types. I only strike someone if I think I am in actual danger.

laraWM · Answer

I think it is ok. I can't imagine he let her hit him without defending himself.

Maybe he could have tried to control her before hitting if he is much more stronger. But still he has right to defend himself

Jenny-Marie · Answer

If possible, walking away would be preferable. I've never hit a woman and it would have to be really extreme circumstances to react with violence.

snackthatsmilesback · Answer

I wouldn't unless it was serious—like organ stealing level—but I have done it plenty of times in the past. Especially school. Not innocently like that guy tho. I feel bad for that guy he shouldn't get a bad rep for that.

Anonymous · Answer

yes i would hit a woman in self-defence.

If she were to hit my face very hard and break a lip, I would respond in the same way causing her a similar or worse injury.

Even if a woman is less strong, it doesn't mean she can't hurt, then many girls nowadays also do martial arts and gymnastics, so they don't have any leeway to hit men.

W0nderb0y · Answer

He’s completely right to hit back. A girl was slapping me really hard last year and I pushed her down. Everyone was really shocked but luckily the teacher took my side. Unfortunately the girl kicked me in the nuts she got up. I’ve been avoiding her this year

exitseven · Answer

I would probably just restrain her until she calmed down.

Hispanic-Cool-Guy · Answer

I don't believe in hitting women as that is what a disgusting and pussy men typically do, nevertheless, I will defend myself. If you aren't my mom then don't put your hands on me.

Juxtapose · Answer

As soon as violence gets involved I don't care about people's fake morality, I'm going to fight back.

44of69years · Answer

No, never. Even if she was coming at me punching or with a stick of wood. I will never but a female, I will leave for 3 hrs let her cool down then come back and talk it out.

msc545 · Answer

He needed to just get away from her. If he hit her, he will probably get arrested and go to jail. She will not.

GoodGuyBreakingBad · Answer

He should have walked away from her and not even laid a hand on her

Light909090 · Answer

Yes, she kept attacking him. She brought it up on herself. After women swings at me so many times of course I'm going to hit her like I would a guy.
