If a random woman punches you, is it fair for a man to hit back?

Question

that's not about fairness...

most people would not strike back if Mike Tyson is the one punching you...

just because you think you can beat someone vulnerable in comparison, that does not make it "fair" lol

personally... I would not do it, and it's not about gender... there's been a couple of stupid men, usually drunk, who have tried their luck with me... but I've always ignored them if I know that they could not keep up with an actual fight

I rather just walk away from nutcases who would ever pick a fight with someone like me, lol

No don't put your hands on a woman. Use pepper spray.

Yeah, no. Not because she's a woman, but like others said, there is no use in retaliation other than to make yourself feel better and even then it really doesn't even do that. It's a childish mentality from both parties.

You are supposed to be taught at a young age that you don't hit people (I suppose unless your life is in danger) and to keep your hands to yourself. Be the better person, remove yourself from the situation and let authorities handle it.

If you're silly enough to punch a man, expect to get hit back.

I don't understand women who think it's okay to slap a man across the face or punch him yet are surprised when they get hit back, especially when they hit him for something he said.

NEVER lay your hands on anyone, otherwise all bets are off.

I look at it this way: supposedly, a woman is weaker than a man, however, her hitting you COULD STILL hurt! Now, what if it was a weak man that hit you, say, he's just as weak as the woman in question. Do you hit him back or just keep letting him hit you? What if the woman that hit you did so with a baseball bat? Do you just stand there and let her hit you? What if she keeps hitting you over and over again? She COULD hit you to the point of killing you if you didn't stand up to her! If someone hits me, I'll most likely hit back, as long as it wasn't just a slap & tickle kinda thing. Hopefully, one hit will teach whoever it is that they can't just go around hitting me or anyone else!

There's a lot of qualifications here. How hard did she hit me? Frustrated, ineffective flail or serious direct punch with some power behind it? Am I a Nazi loudly espousing facist bullshit, is she just doing a little tap emphasizing something? I'm only going to sign off on hitting a woman if she: #1 is seriously trying to do you harm and #2 actually has some potential to achieve that goal.

100%, it doesn’t have to be “random” either. If you know her and she thinks she has the right to put hands on you, she has given consent for you to put your hands on her. No exceptions.
If she doesn’t want to get hit, then she shouldn’t hit. It’s really simple.
Matter of fact, a recent shooting in Florida suggests that she doesn’t even need to hit you. If she comes at you and refuses to back down, even if she’s unarmed, you have the right to shoot her to death.

Depends why she hit you, how hard she hit you. Certainly acceptable to grab her by the hair and slap her face firmly with an open hand a couple of times to teach her how to behave if she used a cold fist to your face.

Assuming she's not a kinky BDSM brat longing to be put over your knee and given a spanking that turns her ass black and blue...

ArrowheadSW · Answer

It is best to get out of the situation right away. Let the other person go to jail for hitting you. It happened to a guy in town where someone in a bar didn't like him for some reason and tried to start an argument with him. He was frustrated he didn't fall for a dumb argument so he hit him in the jaw, breaking his jaw. The guy who got hit was going to flatten the guy but got away instead, without hitting him. The guy who hit him is serving two years in prison. No joke!

AviatorTom · Answer

If the situation cannot be resolved by other means (say, just walking away), it is always acceptable (fair) to defend oneself. That includes responding to being hit by hitting the person who hit you. Doesn't matter whether that's a male or female.

TonyMetal___1986 · Answer

I don't think that there's any woman whi dares to punch me for real, even guys hesitate to do it, but let's say a random girl tried to punch me, like a real punch on my face, she better pray to see the light again, i won't lie and say that i'm the better person and bla bla bla, i'm just saying the truth, if someone hurts me, they better be trained to handle a ruthless monster!

Women, men, kids, animals... etc, just stay away from me if you're going to turn violent!

fish5505_87 · Answer

Not really. This happened to me once with a group of friends. A woman sitting behind us, thought i said something I did not, the guy sitting next to me did. She tapped me on the shoulder, when I turned she slapped me hard across my face! Everyone sitting at my table burst into laughter. I was pissed! However, she did apologize in the parking lot as we were leaving!

Anonymous · Answer

It's fair, but i still wouldn't do it. For one. Have you ever been punched by a woman who could really punch? If it didn't do anything is there really a reason to? Not in my opinion. Even she'll do it to the wring guy and that guy is going to clean her clock. Why dirty your hands on trash.

OneViewpoint · Answer

Sure, neutralize the threat if she can't control herself. An asshole is an asshole. Gender provides no special protection in the event you commit assault. Karens only learn from direct consequences in the moment. FAFO ladies.

Billlewis · Answer

Whenever a woman has smacked me, I deserved it, so I've never retaliated thus far. Plus, I'm pretty strong, meaning that she's probably not going to hurt me anyway.

AgentG111 · Answer

She committed Battery.

Woman or Man that's wrong and illegal either one of them should be completely understanding in their act, they are going to get an immediate 110% reaction of force against them for their actions.

spartan55 · Answer

She wouldn't get punched, but she'd get the paint slapped off of her.

MrChinaski · Answer

You should only use force necessary to protect yourself from further assault. No, retaliation is not okay.

Sevenpointfive · Answer

gender equality. fair game. but they'll shame you afterwards for hitting a woman.

Agape93 · Answer

Absolutely. If someone assaults you, lay them the fuck out.

exitseven · Answer

I would probably not hit a woman. Its just the way I was raised.

Staximus · Answer

As a former bouncer I was punched plenty of times by random drunk women and I just threw them out of the bar

crazyengineer · Answer

Depends on what man did. If he is wrong; cannot do anything. If he is not wrong; then he can sue her. Hitting back is not a fair option

Pterodon · Answer

Absolutely. At that point she is no longer a lady and is implying she can take it like a man

EmmaMary · Answer

Two wrongs don't make a right.

Mark_Est · Answer

Of course and with 100% power.
