Timelesswisdom · Accepted Answer

The evil courts won't likely see it this way and following this advise can lead to absurd amounts of legal and other problems, but my policy is if a woman (or anyone) poses a danger to myself or others, I may choose to do what I must to stop her as gently as possible. If she is enough of a threat that a punch becomes necessary, I try to be effective with as little lasting damage as possible. I consider this generous to her, and even loving, however the cops and most people in the chronically immature western world will generally not see it that way. So I have to be ready to deal with that if I choose to use force, and also with the fact that in jail I will probably be getting punched at by people that can do a lot more damage than any female ever could, so these things cross my mind before i take action. It truly stinks to be labeled as a "felon" for "domestic violence" for the rest of one's life, which makes it hard to find jobs, travel, get apartments, etc. Believe me, I know. And not being allowed to vote or own firearms without threat of even longer prison sentences also stinks, even though I don't care much about voting nor care much about my guns anymore since the only things I would ever shoot are food, vicious or suffering animals and like killer cyborgs etc. Still it sucks to have court threats hanging over your life for any reason. Especially since if this happens three times, that the courts find out about, I could be locked in a hellhole full of 70 I. Q. selfish bully/cowards of all types for the rest of my life. It's an unfair world, but I chose long ago to just do what is right and hope for GOD's mercy and that somehow I can avoid going to prison again, because I truly truly hate prison, truly. If you are curious about how much you would enjoy prison, watch the "fresh out' series on youtube. Sometimes a little is necessary for the greater good, but I hope you can find a way to live live with as little violence as possible. Peace.

It would depend on the situation but it's gonna take a lot for me to hit a female. I've actually been hit a couple of different times by my wife and once by my first girlfriend. My wife hits pretty fucking hard and even though she made me extremely mad I walked away because I love her and don't want to hurt her. My first girlfriend and me were arguing walking down an ally and she called me a punk so I told her you stupid bitch you talk to me with respect well she didn't like being called stupid so she screamed and grabbed a handful of my hair and twisted it around her hand and spun around and tried to fling me to the ground by my hair I kinda sprawled and caught myself and I could feel and hear my hair ripping out of my head so I hit her twice once in each arm as she was still trying to take me down. It work she let go and really wanted just to start blasting her but I just started walking as she was screaming at me as she followed then the cops rolled up and almost took us both to jail me because I had a big bag of weed her because I had a chunk of hair missing and a knot where I was missing the hair and I was a minor she was an adult and someone called in a complaint that seen her jump on me but they just took my weed and I told them she didn't touch me so they let us go

Can I just point out when a guy hits a girl, the girl usually just puts her hands up to block her face/body? That’s why in most assault cases most of the damage is to their arms or ribs. (Since their arms were up). They usually don’t fight back. Lol. And guys are over here asking if they’ll hit a girl back. Unless the girl thinks she might be able to overpower the guy, she usually just tries to run away or block the hits. Since y’all want to talk about equality. Lol.

As someone in the criminal justice field. This is my advice. Record everything, if you can. Just in case. But if the girl is smaller than you, and her hits aren’t doing any damage. Just match her hits. Like push her away, that type of thing. Don’t give your 100% and actually do damage if she’s not doing damage. The police won’t see your side of the story here.

If she’s coming at you with a weapon, then you have every right to go 100%. If that weapon is deadly. Don’t say she came after you with a magazine or something. Deadly as in something than can do a substantial amount of damage. Like, a knife, gun, heels, a blunt object like a crowbar, etc. Then go 100% on her. Obviously. You’re defending your life.

Or if her hits really are damaging. Likes she’s in MMA or something. Then, go for it.

But if you’re like 6’0 and work out. And a 5’0 girl that is tiny. Like 105 pounds tried to slap you. Honestly, just walk away. Record it. She’ll get mad enough to stop. If she doesn’t, just push away. Remove yourself from the situation.

it's the people that say they want men and women to be treated equal in terms or politics and shit that also say man shouldn't hit woman if she hits him first. why is it okay for a female to hit a man but isn't okay for men to do the same. we are both human beings and feel the same things in different ways. no we can't feel each other's pain like childbirth and getting kicked in the balls but why should feel like they have power over men by being allowed to hit them but when it comes to men they victim like they've never done anything wrong.

JackSmy · Answer

I would never hit her, but maybe try to restrain her from hitting me again! But, today, in any case, the guy is going to jail!! Even if she hits him, and he just stops her, restraining her, he is still getting arrested because of the bias, and just how things are! Messed up, totally, and maybe why, with metoo crap, that guys just don't want to take a chance, because now, it seems, with metoo, he is ALWAYS GUILTY, even if proven innocent! Once one files a complaint, legitimate or not, he is FCKED, for life, and always on some list, and always 'that guy' even if he did nothing!

Passinggas · Answer

Had an ex that would punch me, hit me and once jumped on me in bed punching this sht out of me. I finally got up and just tossed her to the other side of the room and after that, she comes back over all wet and horny ready for sex. I think back on that and realize that she was whacked out. She would typically get violent before she wanted sex. And after four years now, she is still trying to get back sending me a hand written letter telling me how I was her only love--wtf. I am just glad I intercepted that letter before my girlfriend saw it. Anyways, women hit and I believe in restrained defense because even if they hurt they still don’t hit that hard. However, if she is a trained fighter that could hurt you, then by all means, go all the way.

loveslongnails · Answer

The vast majority of guys on here are going to say "you have the right to defend yourself", and that's true. But what they don't realize is it doesn't give you the unrestricted right to injure her in return.

EVEN if it's a face punch, a guy has to be mindful of his response, particularly if it's one punch and done and not a continuous assault. Let's say some girl punches you in the face because of reason "x", or no apparent reason at all, and your knee jerk response is to punch her back in the face. But you're a fairly big, strong dude, and your punch knocks her out, breaks her jaw and causes dental damage. Guess what... even if she punched you for absolutely no reason, you're fucked in a court. And if for some reason you can be shown to have provoked her, now you're really fucked.

So when all the answers come in saying "it's your right", just remember that when you're sued and paying the bills, both hospital and lawyer.

BrexitAteMyLobster · Answer

It could be argued that you should only hit her back if necessary to defend yourself from further attack. An act of revenge is not necessarily supported by the law, but defending yourself from attack is. If she hits you and walks away, you might struggle to justify following her and punching her in the face.

DianaWest · Answer

well, it may be self-defense. if she is clearly threatening and dangerous, why not protect yourself? with that being said, don't exaggerate. in other words, if she scratches you, and you throw a brick at her head, that is a big no-no. self-defence has to be measured and match the level of danger the other person poses.

RasmusAiken · Answer

If a reasonable person (think jurist) would view the attack as an intent to cause great bodily harm or death then you can use reasonable force to defend yourself. So a bitch-slap you just leave it, but if she's trying to break your jaw or crack your skull you have to use force necessary to stop her.

MrOracle · Answer

The guy needs to use the minimum amount of force required to be safe and get away from the situation. In most cases, that's 0 force, but sometimes force is necessary (if it's an ongoing attack or she has a deadly weapon).

Being hit, especially by an average woman (i. e., not an MMA fighter) who can't do any real damage is not a free pass to beat her up or even just smack her - all force must be LEGALLY justifiable.

marc575 · Answer

A true gentleman has a trait called chivalry and manners. We will never provoke and never play with feelings, sometimes we lose and take our loss. We digest our own emotions but at the end, it will ben the best outcome. Gentleman is a lifestyle, not a status

spartan55 · Answer

Allowed? Not sure why any guy would do that. You can always create distance or keep her off you without punching her. Here's the thing: if a woman hits me in the face with all she has it probably won't affect me too much. But if I decide to return the favor I could realistically seriously injure her or possibly even kill her.

tomc86 · Answer

I beleive there Is never a reason to hit a woman back two reason for this #1 a man will always be able to hit harder than his girl unless your girl is a potential UFC's fighter or something then it won't be hard to seriously injure them # 2 and any Male that call himself a man would take a beating from his female partner and not strike back at the very most if she hits hard enough to rattle your cage restrain her dont hit her or dont call your self a man I was born in the south and down there your raised to respect and no how to treat a lady all day everyday so ladies if ur so called guy thing has ever put his hands on you get out now because that ain't a man... keep looking

DanaeAdam5 · Answer

Ok. If the guy tried too rape her or some shit then yeah he better keep his fucking hands too himshelf. If they just had an argument and she decides too hit him then as a woman i would actually take his side. Like wtf? Who said that us girls are allowed to just hit men and men are abusive if they do the same?

Elliot_F · Answer

Noooo! Don't punch her back, if she continues to demonstrate before such as this you should attempt to restrain her, but do not here her. If a civil case arose, I believe you would be more likely to be charged for whatever than the girl would be... But I'm 16 so I don't have experience with much of that.

Mehzmeh · Answer

No excuse. That's why I, have sister's. I also have a bunch of female friends. That would hurt any female that would try something stupid like that. Because, I was a semi pro boxer and mma fighter. I won't hit a female back. Plus, if my father was still alive. He would still cave my chest open. Lol

Ripper_E · Answer

The guy has always been allowed to. It's simply how society views it.
If a girl punches me, she's getting punched back. I don't care how society views it. If she doesn't want to get punched, which I'd make it very clear I would do it, then she shouldn't punch me.
I would never raise a hand to a woman I care about though. I'd walk away before causing her harm. Of course, if she punches me in the face, all love would be gone.

Nik1hil · Answer

Yes a guys allowed to punch back..
Just like you are allowed to jump off a cliff or moving vehicle..
But it's wise.. Not too..
Instead hold her wrist..
Overpower her..
Smooch her or kiss on Lips or cheeks..
Vengeance is served..
Then run like hell..
😂😂🤣😂🏃

FakeName123 · Answer

If you start physically threatening and attacking someone you lost all sorts of sympathy for your own well-being. Yes, that also includes women. Alternatively suplex that bitch

Shiver · Answer

Equal rights, equal lefts.
On a serious note, defend yourself by all means necessary, sure, but don't go overboard if you don't have to. Let's face it, that punch doesn't do shit 97/100 times, so no need to permanently disfigure her face. Lol

Minnie97 · Answer

Call me crazy but if I straight punch a man in the face and it isn't a self defence reason then I am fully prepared to be taking a hit back 🤷‍♀️ Just because you're a woman doesn't mean you get to throw hands at a man and get no consequences.

muffeater · Answer

If equality is truly to be excepted then a man and a woman have to be considered the same so all chivalry must be discarded as it considers females as the weaker sex and to be protected and guarded. In turn means everyone is treated like a man so yes ( you can't have it both ways )

rodney24 · Answer

I've been mike Tyson'd before and didn't swing or punch back. I used wrestling moves and basic body restraints to protect myself and defuse the situation. She called the law. I went to jail bc of the shit OJ Simpson pulled lmao. Never asked for my side or what happened. Just don't swing back and call the law before she does is all I can think of

genericname85 · Answer

legally you're not allowed to punch back. you are allowed to protect yourself from further harm and the judge will be indulge if you hit her back if you reason with affect response but no in fact you are not legally allowd to punch someone back. cause someone else doing something wrong doesn't mean you are allowed to do something wrong.

we have courts of law for this stuff. you must not resort to self-justice.

liburnia · Answer

No one should ever punch anyone. If it comes to that it's better to turn around and walk away as far as possible from that person and never look back. By returning the punch, you become just as bad person as the one that punched you.

CocoBat · Answer

She initiated the attack, you're allowed to punch back (Oh hey that rhymes that wasn't even on purpose)

SuccessfulHornDog · Answer

Do what you want but take my advice and have her arrested. Dont ever get sucked into hitting a girl. Leave the area, dont tell her that you're going to call the cops. Then call them from someplace where she has no idea what you're doing, otherwise she'll do whatever she has to in order to make it look like you hit her.

DiscomfortZone · Answer

Allowed? He is required. And hopefully that punch knocks all the bitch's teeth out, or better yet - puts her in a wheelchair having to shit in diapers for the rest of her miserable pathetic life, till ahe kills herself. Let that be the punishment of all the worthless cunts who think they're allowed to be violent and aggressive, but others aren't allowed to defend themselves against them. I say if a woman punches you, kick her in the head till she stops moving.

TacocaT6969 · Answer

Hit back, but if you’re particularly strong just hold back your strength a bit.

Give her a swollen cheek but not a concussion. Just for the sake of avoiding any possibility of the situation turning on you.

CuriousMufuxka · Answer

Well he will most likely get a case.. I got punched by a bitch that I was dating back in 2007. I shoved her against the wall with both of my hands and then punched right next to her head. Then yelled Don't you ever fuckin hit me again! She crumbled into a crying mess. I'm still confused on which was worse, me trying to get her the fuck out of my goddamn trailer or the fact that I got a black eye from her flailing.

Mamaganja · Answer

Hit back or simply throw her to the ground like a rag doll.. no need to beat her ass like she’s a man unless she keeps trying to hit you.. you gotta do what you gotta do to her ass..

just_a_potato · Answer

Um you hit whoever the fuck hits you, self defense yeah?

blutwolfe · Answer

well I don't think I'd punch her back unless she's bigger than me somehow, your average size women I'd probably just shove away/keep distance. If she's coming at me with a weapon though damn straight I'll fight back that's my life on the line lol

Anonymous · Answer

If it is in fighting ring and she know what she is doing in there I would say it is to late to hit her.
(I'm martial arts person)

In other case hitting woman who is not trained, is not allowed at any case.

There is possibility to put her down and hold untill she calms down, that would course no injuries unless she courses it, by struggle...
This is what police do in those situations...

Vanessa_Reyes · Answer

I would never hit a guy first but I will defend myself if he wants to try to hit me.

jdhtx1 · Answer

Can't punch a chick... but if she punches like a man, you gotta treat her like a man... but you can only do enough to get her off of you. And yes add a little pain so she knows what to expect if she thinks about acting like a dude again.

TheUniqueOne96 · Answer

Yes, it's basic self defense. If you don't want someone to hit you, then don't hit them people. It's anyone else's fault is someone can't keep their hands to themselves.

Remarkably_Plain · Answer

If its gotten to the point where im punching someone then they did something bad enough to deserve it and im fully prepared to throw down. Whether they swing back or not is up to them.

Thatsamazing · Answer

Depends-- in a tragically related query, are stupid Internet clickbait questions designed to accomplish nothing other than stirring up self-righteous indignation over a problem that doesn't really exist, stupid?

Anonymous · Answer

you're allowed to use the same amount of force that's being used against you. If she slaps you, you shouldn't punch her full force in the face, if she punches you then by all means you have the right to punch her back. If she stops, you stop. If you continually punch someone after they hit you once, that makes you the aggressor as it's no longer self-defense. Honestly, people, it's not that complicated.

4mazing · Answer

What no one ever told you? You gotta say "thank you for educating me on the patriarchy and my privilege"

DOGMA1954 · Answer

Let me make this very clear. Men or boys should never strike a girl or woman unless its in self defence for physical abuse of some kind or they feel its life is in danger.

ScienceWoman · Answer

Its never ok to hit ANYONE. But if that is the only way to make her stop attacking you, yes. But guys are stronger, so maybe just a slap would sufice xD

Liam_Hayden · Answer

If there are witnesses or video press charges and file a civil lawsuit. If there are no witnesses or video, walk away because if you strike her it becomes he says, she says, and the authorities are far more likely to believe her and lock you up.

If you hit, expect to get hit. This bs about girls being exempted from retribution is crap. They're either different and weaker, or not.

If you step up like a man u go down like one... .. hands off ... goes for men n women... rethink the relationship if it gets to raising hands.. walk away.

Nishikigawa1 · Answer

Cmon man you can take a girl punch, even a good one I hope. The only time to place hands on a woman is if she's literally killing you! Don't hit girls, they're precious.

tHISpLACEiSbONKERZ · Answer

I have to say it depends on the damage she is capable of doing. If you don't really feel much pain I guess you shouldn't but if your teeth are flying every direcion I think you should start punching too.

ultimatecatfish · Answer

Depends on the reason. Generally, i would not respond with violence. Just call the cops, sue for assault and make them suffer in the long run. More satisfying than just a punch.

Imagine having a police record for life

GOOSEBOY78 · Answer

there's no excuse to hit girls.  are you looking for justifacation? you won't find it here.

PondyPand · Answer

Depends. Why did they punch for one? What's the scenario.

RyanNott · Answer

You can hit back but don't over do it. Self defense! Same with girls honestly. Don't beat someone to the ground for a single punch. Guy or girl.

Eduardodealba · Answer

The guys shouldn't punch back they should always have their guard up to be able to stop them. With me they probably wouldn't get far i have very quick reflexes but if they did it will be kinda hot.

Tommy2017 · Answer

If you the guy feel like spending some months in prison, then you can go ahead and hit her back. But I'll totally advise against it. Under no circumstance should you ever hit a girl.

lpogie33 · Answer

Depends on why you punched him if its because the guy made some sexual remark most guys would take the punch

Twalli · Answer

A guy can defend himself. If he is untrained, hitting back may be the only way. If he is, he should try another way. I know how yo use joint locks and dodge strikes, so that's my go to.

Gamillions · Answer

TO DO SO WILL MEAN YOU GO TO JAIL... HAVE A RECORD... PAY A BIG FINE. THE LAW IS ALWAYS GOING TO SIDE WITH THE WOMAN... EVEN IF SHE WAS GOING TO KILL YOU.

She shouldn't be punching him anyway. Keep your damn hands to yourself unless it's for self defense.
