Should a man hit a woman?
Should men hit women?
This afternoon I was watching an episode of Maury on the Living channel. The episode was about controlling husbands who refused to let their wife’s have any social life, and they hit and insulted them. My boyfriend came in then, and he asked me the question “Should men hit women?”. Honestly, I couldn’t give him an answer. It’s a difficult question to answer, isn’t it.
Personally, I feel that a man should hit a woman back if the woman hit him first. I don’t believe in this crap about women being feeble and timid and that we need to be taken care of. I’m perfectly capable of standing up for myself. In this day and age, people call any man that hit’s a woman a ‘pig’ a ‘low life’ and ‘scum’. I think any man that hits and abuses a woman because he thinks he’s superior to her is a pig and a low life and scum.
But if he hits back in defence, I find nothing wrong with it. Nothing at all. I am a women and I know my boyfriend is a lot, lot stronger then I am. But all the same, if I hit him he has the right to hit back in self defence. I abused him first.
A lot of people say that there’s a line that is crossed. I’m sure you all know a woman who slaps a man because it’s a ‘womanly’ thing to do. Some people seriously believe that women have all the right to hit a man in an argument without expecting them to hit back. I think differently. I think if you hit him, you can well gear up for a good dig back.
It’s common knowledge of course that men are stronger than women, and that they sometimes don’t realise their own strength. Of course a dig from a man would hurt, but what do you expect? You hit him first.
I’ve seen it myself, when the man hits back and to be honest, in some situations, I feel no pity for the woman.
Not that I know how getting a full forced dig from a guy feels, ‘cause my boyfriend knows very well I’d leather him around the room if he touched me, but I seriously don’t understand why a man shouldn’t retaliate. I know there stronger, but you should know that too if you hit them first.
Yes, sometimes it happens through uncontrolled emotions and that’s when things get difficult. Guys are stronger, so maybe they should just hold the woman away from them. But if the woman is constantly hitting him, I feel they have all the right in the world to defend themselves. I don’t know! This is such a difficult topic.
Any ideas, comments? So difficult…

it's not stereotype that men are stronger than women in general- they ARE. of course there are some women that are stronger then some men, but on the average, men are just physcially stronger.

I feel neither gender or persons has the right to hit each other. even if it is defence.if the woman were to hit a man, he has no right to hit her back. she isn't beating him or trying to kill him. he'd be stooping down to her level if he did. the same goes for a man hitting a woman. what i STRONGLY hate, is how men in other countries are allowed to beat their women. it's unfair and cruel. we're just as good as any man. a woman could be just as strong as a guy. it's basically all based on stereotypes that women are weaker. some women just choose not to become built etc.

i disagree that men should hit women back, even if the woman hit them first. it's like what we tell children: if someones hits you, you don't hit back. i've seen my sister and my mom being hit, so i'm definetly biased, but like mike said, if a man were a gentleman he'd prove it by not striking back. if the man is stronger, than he can hold her off or just go. but if there was any physical or emotional abuse in a relationship in the first place, then the two people shouldn't even be together.

What about women who hit men and they have to stand and take it? Because they'll get called wife beaters and abusers.

"It’s common knowledge of course that men are stronger than women"
It's not common knowledge. It's opinion.

Run a test. If you line 5 guys up and 5 girls up, chances are that the men will come out on top with strength..... and women with intelligence ^_^

I think if there's a woman holding a gun, or an axe, or a chainsaw (or a life threatening weapon really) at a guy with intent to seriously injure or kill, and he pops her one in the face to save himself then there's nothing immoral about that,
I mean, if she's trying to kill you (like in x-men or jackie chan movies) then go for it, but in general I don't think women should hit men, and I don't think men should hit women, or women hit women or men hit men.
S'a bit dumb really.

heh... that's a nice story, Who stole my pants XD
i don't think it's right for men to hit.
it's not right for women to hit either.
but i guess i can sorta understand hitting back... at least if the woman hits repeatedly... then is just kinda like... she asked for it ya know.
so it's not right, but i can understand someone doing it.

Well I mean..I hate violence I think a guy should just try to block the hits rather than break a jaw, I know of this family, the wife is a big slapper and puncher and slugger, she used to beat the sh*t out of her old husband, and he'd try to block her but she's just a maniac, now the guy she is currently with, is 6'11 with shoulders the size of a mini van, but he's never beat up on her ever, or even hit her back because he could kill her.
Although I think any relationship where you end up in like WWF Smackdown isn't a very good one....O_O

I don't know..
I mean, it is difficult. I know people in relationships where the girl beats the guy up and vice versa..
I honestly can't telll you.

To be honest, on average women are weaker than men. That's a fact. Therefore when they hit it's going to have much more impact than if a woman did.
Plus, hitting back is definitely not the best answer. Neither the man or woman should respond violently unless it is absolutely neccesary, and should instead report them to the police and stay the hell away.
Miley Cyrus, July 5th, 2008 at 10:51:10pm
To me no one should hit anyone
we dont need any more violence in this world
Rain, July 5th, 2008 at 10:27:07pm
I think you're rite.
I mean if I hit a guy then yes, he should fully be allowed to deck me! See though I also have a very short temper. And everyone knows it. So alot of the guys I hang with know if I hit them outta anger I'm going to feel like sh!t for it later. Also we've agreed that if I hot them more then twice then they can floor me. So I dunno. It is a touchy subjecy but I believe if a woman started it hell yeah let the man finish it. I unno...PM me one day and we can tlak about it

this is a very difficult situtation to process....
but in ways I agree with you but in other ways I'm thinking that men should never hit a woman, because of the fact that 90% of the men DO NOT realize their own strength
but in all honesty if a woman strikes a man, and a man hits back, this should be a sign that something is going wrong if an argument turns this bad

i think you shouldn never ever hit a woman.
no matter what.
if you were a real man, if a woman struck you, you'd be a gentleman, and let it go, and try and solve whatever difference it is.
sometimes i a man cant help it though,
i mean.. some of those men were probobly abused as children, and think that hitting is right.
