Men and women: Do you think a woman should get hit back for hitting a male?
Question Posted Wednesday August 18 2010, 2:31 am
I know most people might say no, men shouldn't hit a woman back. But I think that if a woman thinks shes big enough to hit a man she should be hit back. I think that a man should only hit a woman in self defense. There are women out there that hit men when they get mad over something stupid and expect not to get hit back and sometimes they try to fight the man, while they expect him to do nothing but walk away. Im a woman and I think that if a woman hits a man she should be hit back. Just like if a man hits a woman for no reason she should hit him back. Im not saying that a woman should be beaten by a man though. Ive seen women hit men, bite scratch,threaten with a knife and chunk stuff at them. The man is supposed to sit there and take that? Most women arent as weak as people think they are.
Just wondering to see people's opinions...
If a man doesnt hit a woman back after she hits him, the next time they argue, she will try to fight and hit him, some women are vicious catty fighters..Im not saying she she get beaten
If a woman doesnt want to get hit by a man like Mike tyson, then she shouldnt hit him because shes mad, or over something stupid.
I'm a woman lol, just asking.
My cousin used to hit her ex. and he would never hit her back. the one time he did though, she never hit him again after that. Shes Grown up since then. If I was a man, I would treat her the same way as I would treat a man who comes up to me and hits me, I do not practice gender discrimination. but the point is everyone deserves to learn that lesson if theyre askin for it. Im not saying men should beat women, Im just saying she should get hit back.everyone who believes in genuine equality and responsibility should agree..
Men: if she comes up to you and hits you multiple times are you going to hit her back? cause that would be self-defense right? for someone strong like her
Women: Do you think if that woman attacked a man he has the right to hit her back?

I'd say yes if that women attacked a man he has the right to hit her back , BUT it depends. I mean if a women hit's a man because she's mad or has issues then he should be aware and be ready to fight back , but not like killer mode. I mean if shes in a killer mode , he should be too so it's equal. The thing is that if he cheated on her or if he said something rude in a really rude way , i'd say he has no right to hit her if she is treated like crap just like in that movie the Titanic when her fiance hit her across the face for disobeying him , now that's not right. I think it's alright , but it's not alright to get beaten by a guy especially if it's his fault. If it's over something really stupid like a fight or missunderstanding , he should fight back , it only makes it fair , why should the man suffer , a girl is no better then a man. My advice to you is that , I think it is fair if it's something very stupid , if it involves cheating you got something a good explanation for it , if the two have been dating for a while , if not then it's not fair. Guys should be allowed in self-defense , but if they know something wrong they did , they should at least say sorry.

I understand the man's point of view, and being a woman I understand that point of view as well. But here is the thing, women should NEVER be hit back. No matter what they do or even if they have no reason to hit men. The only exception is when using self defense and that is only if the man cannot stop her in some other form as in holding her back or something in that sense.

cocomac101 answered Friday August 20 2010, 2:08 pm: ok, thinking it may be a man who wrote this, I agree men can do things in self defence, not hit. Men have bigger hands and are phyically usually stronger, so it can do worse damage. A gentle push or grab shouldn't hurt a woman, but do the job. However, very few women are violent, most only on drink, this shouldn't be a big problem for anyone. [ cocomac101's advice column | Ask cocomac101 A Question ]
jada_lynne answered Friday August 20 2010, 4:51 am: No... a man never has the right to hit a woman. He has the right to stop her from hitting him, and most men are stronger than women and can hold them back. If not, a real man will walk away. If necessary, he needs to call the police and charge her with assault.
Now, to get to the heart of the matter...the woman in question needs anger management. She has the problem and if allowed to continue is only going to get more out of control.
It's a simple matter of setting boundaries. In the case of physical abuse...your rights stop about 12 inches from my body.

If someone hits you, that alone should end the relationship. Period. Women should not hit men and men should not hit women. [ bliz's advice column | Ask bliz A Question ]
Razhie answered Wednesday August 18 2010, 11:31 am: I think you are over thinking this. It's easy to figure out without using any gender pronouns at all.
I don't think people should hit each other at all.
However, if someone does hit another person, that person should respond in the way that is most likely the end the physical violence in a quickest and most painless way for everyone. That might mean running away, calling the cops, and in very rare cases, striking back.
People, men and women, who are particularly large or strong, have the added responsibility of knowing their own strength and ability, to measure their response when struck.
If a smaller, weaker person attacks a larger, stronger person, the larger stronger person has a responsibility to use good judgment to decide how to respond, that should almost never involve hitting back, and even when it does, it should be a measured and controlled response, not a 'lets get even 'cause you deserve to be hit' response.
Just because the smaller person did a stupid, wrong thing, doesn't mean the larger person is allowed to do a stupid, wrong thing too.
Even if the two people are the exact same size and strength, this is still true. But it's the difference in strength between most men, and most women, that makes our culture tend to hold men to such high standards. It's NOT perfectly fair at all, but it comes from the right sort of thinking.
No one deserves to be struck. Not the first person, not the second person. Sometimes it's necessary to defend yourself or others, but somethings can be necessary without ever being completely 'right'.
Some people will always be stupid. The women you describe who deliberately physically attack men assuming them wont respond are stupid. You don't deserve to get beaten for being stupid. The men they strike still have a responsibility to respond in the best, safest way possible, and although that will sometimes require hitting back, it rarely will, and they are still morally obligated to avoid it (just like a woman would be, in their position).

bestttadviceox answered Wednesday August 18 2010, 11:07 am: Well, just this summer my brother (who is pretty tough, but kind) was in Ireland studying abroad. Him and his friend were out one night when a gay guy started hitting on his friend. Since neither of them were gey they politely rejected the guy. Later when coming out of the bar the guy and his gay friends started harassing my brothers who just walked away. Then all of a sudden some drunk Irish woman came out of nowhere and punched my brother in the face, when his friend tried to grab her ad hold her back she ounched him in the face. She had a ring on and my brothers face was black and blue andd cut. (She wasn't a part of the fight she just hated Americans and came outta no where). Anywayyyy My brother was afraid to hit her back and didn't wanna start anything/get in trouble, so they ran away and she chased them until some local guy finally called the cops (they didn't have phones on them). Now I know you're talking more about people in relationships and domestic abuse i guess? But in this situation I think my brother should have just hit the bitch back haha. I mean she was going crazy and wouldn't stop, if he rocked her in the face that would stopped her. I mean if she's gonna get drunk and attack two guys minding their own business she deserves to get punched in the face... Idk, but on a regular basis guys shouldn't hit girls, if the girl hits the guy in a playful way he could hit her back in a playful way, but guy have to remember their strength cause in some cases they are much stronger and if there's physical fighting they could both get pretty hurt.
