+1 yI had a girlfriend go bananas and start pounding on me and punching and my basic instinct was tested and I did not hit back. I just constrained her and escorted her to the door. However, I think that men need to be careful when out, say on the street, and confronted by an unknown woman getting in his face because you really don’t know what kind of training she might have. So in that case I think men need to override that protect-women instinct and apply their defensive fight skills as if she is a man and I emphasize defensive.

+1 yIf it is actually self defense, yes. Unfortunately eye-for-an-eye is fair in concept but not so much legally. If she hits you once and you have ample opportunity to leave - for the sake of saving your own skin - walk away. If she's beating on you though, she won't let you leave, etc?

Anonymous(30-35)+1 yMy boyfriend tried that on me once, I got angry and justifiably slapped him and he hit back. I called the cops on him the very next minute and got him arrested. That shit doesn't fly with me. He started begging me to drop charges but it was too late and I wanted him to learn a lesson. After he got out of jail he apologized and we moved on. Let's say he never made the same mistake again.

@ScottSummers I just purely find peoples' rationale interesting sometimes. And sometimes people hearing their logic can even be therapeutic for them.
Opinion Owner+1 y@cavmanier Reading isn't your strong suit, is it? I already told you, he got me angry. He cussed at me, so I slapped him. If you're calling your girlfriend names don't be surprised if she slaps you for it. The correct thing to do then would be to take a step back, ask yourself why you got slapped, apologize and find a solution. Instead he hit back.
Look buddy, this isn't up for discussion, I stand by my decision, even his own parents sided with me. He had time to think about what went wrong when he was sitting in jail and he more than learned from his mistakes. His attitude has gotten much better afterwards.- +1 y
Out of curiosity did he smack you too?
Opinion Owner+1 y@Holygirl01 He did after I smacked him. Which is why I got him arrested.
- +1 y
I see. It's his responsibility to calm down and not react angrily by saying something offensive. Girls don't have to calm down though and can use violence towards the guy to express their emotions.
I'm not surprised his parents sided with him. There is still a big cultural inequality regarding women being able to use violence against males acceptably conversely to it being culturally unacceptable for a guy to even react to a woman's violence. Slavery and racism was once acceptable too and expected. - +1 y
Its just strange, did he really go to jail for smacking you? that's quite unusual.

Anonymous(30-35)+1 yBack in my crazy days I punched my husband in the face and slapped him and almost pushed him down the stairs. I got anger management because what I did was really messed up. But he never hit me back once out of all those times.. I respect him so much for that. But he just restrained me if he did hit me though I wouldn't of been surprised. So the answer in my opinion if someone reacts with a hit expect to be hit back gender does not play part.

Otherwise nope.
I think men who have no problem hitting women are usually assholes to be honest (from experience) i don't care how many thumb downs i get decent guys realize that a woman is a lot weaker.. my fiance doesn't hit women because thats how he was brought up and i have respect for guys like that.33 Reply- +1 y

@ScottSummers Absolutely :) if they know she's nuts then they shouldn't be dating her to begin with.
Seriously, everyone is about equality and therefore I think hitting back is okay. On the other hand you are lowering yourself on that persons lvl.
40 ReplyNope just walk it off, anything resulting into violence is not to be confronted, if it happens just calm down and breath, under no circumstances should a guy hit a woman even if she is crazy woman 😅. If you have to defend yourself just run , running is the best self defence against crazy people.

@ScottSummers well yeah no shit, that was kind of my point, women shouldn't hit men and men shouldn't hit women... duh
A man hitting a woman is never justifiable. If a woman hits a man, worse-case scenario, he gets a swollen lip or a black-eye or whatever. If a man hits a woman full-force there’s a good chance she’s gonna end up in the ER or dead… If a woman attacks a man, he can physically restrain her until she calms down. He doesn't need to lay her out with a full-force uppercut.
22 Reply- +1 y
Why do you assume that he would harm her so bad? a slap cannot harm her.
- +1 y
@Holygirl01
That's why I specified "full force"... And although a slap wouldn't cause extensive physical-damage, it would still be very traumatic for them... Talk to women who have been in abusive relationships. Why do you think they're so skittish? Why do you think they flinch whenever a man makes a sudden movement? Because it's traumatic for a woman to get beat on by a man.
I got hit in the chest with a dog leash one time when I was asleep. It's fuckin hurt like a bastard. I clicked out a little and was going to kick her head in but I ended up grabbing her by the hair and throwing her over the bed. She got a fright. That was just because I wouldn't get up back go to the shop. Nearly caved in my rib cage the mad boot. She's lucky I didn't put her in hospital

It's pretty shitty those girls got angry and justified hitting the guy, but if he hits her back (which is a pretty natural reaction to want to defend himself), he's a dick. And then we hear about how oppressive and hard the world is for women, while men seem to bear shit in silence. He pretty much just threw her ass to the ground to get her off of him lol. He's expected to take the kick to the dick like a man.

@cavmanier those downvotes are making me laugh hahaha.
the video has been broken down by many people who all came to the same conclusion.
so she started hitting him on his own property after he told her to leave, he then proceeded to grab her and cradled her head in his arms when he took her to the ground, thus guarding her head from initial contact. then the other bitch decides to jump him and he attempts to grab and push her off only for another bitch to try and jump him, all while the 2nd girl who jumped him is commanding the other guys to attack him. like wtf lol. the girls in that video are straight up bitches, no more no less. not ALL girls, just the girls in that video. - +1 y
The sad part is the girls read the situation like they were in the right and they knew everyone would help them.
They were trying to use some kind of mystical "pussy power" that us guys can't comprehend 😂
"Help me, I have a vagina!" (joking by the way, sort of)
The guy had some balls to do that though lol - +1 y
@cavmanier girls like in that video these days have some sort of entitlement complex. they feel like they have this right that they haven't even earned just because they are a girl. slowly though, more and more women are realizing that is not true as more of these videos appear all over the internet lol. It's mostly girls in western society who are more likely to adopt this way of thinking. girls in central asia wouldn't DARE, cause they will get beat down on a regular basis.
I read the comments you had with that other chick, she's just being ridiculous and living in her own fantasy world lol. if a girl is pointing a gun at me I'm fucking shooting first. there is no fairness in life and death. - +1 y
I totally agree. They're angry and using the leverage they think they have. Just how like a white guy may have done to a black guy 100+ years ago. I was thinking about how in some of those middle eastern countries, the guys will pretty much put a paddle to the girls butt.
Yeah her perspective is pretty wild. It just reminded me of like male cops not being able to protect themselves against female criminals. We could only have girl cops, and then male criminals wouldn't even be allowed to touch them. - +1 y
@cavmanier once they cross the line all of that leverage they think they have completely goes out the window. I gotta admit, it's partly the man's fault too because they are the ones allowing girls to treat them like this, which empowers the girls even more. so both are at fault but that seems to be changing lol.
oh gosh there are definitely a few select dumb asses in this thread that should be avoided like a plague :P I'm not even going to indulge in them LOL. - +1 y

most of the feminazis are running their mouths wild here, talking as if it's their birth right to hit guys. It's not. No grown adult has the right to hit another. But that also means that for the guys, we shouldn't hit back either. 2 wrongs do not make a right. Of course the situation is different if she's armed or highly trained in combat, and coming at you with malicious intent. Only then is it self-defence.
