Is Hitting A Girl All That Bad?

[Sparcrypt]

Since when is hitting anyone OK?

If someone attacks me, they get a response proportionate to the threat they present - I don't care if they're male or female. If they offer no threat I'm probably just going to grab them and restrain them. If they're my size or bigger I'm going to beat them senseless before they can do it to me.

Solution is just not to attack people really.

I always thought it was funny how girls are perfectly within their rights to slap guys, but when a guy so much as looks at a girl wrong, folks get all up in arms. I'm not saying I'm for violence against women (or anyone, for that matter), but it's still quite the double standard.

 

[Pumpkin_Eater]

On the internet I would say no; IRL I would dodge the question because hitting women is taboo. LoL, 'equality.'

 

[darkless]

Throwing a punch with the express purpose of injuring and/or starting a fight is bad however, regardless of gender if they throw the first punch I will do everything in my power to restrain that person without hurting them, unless I have to, I don't care where you keep your reproductive organs, if you aimed to hurt me and leave me no options I'm going to hurt you right back, it's only fair.

I've hit a woman in martial arts training and mock fights, but never in anger. If a woman attacked me with intent to harm me than I would not hesitate to defend my self, however I do not think that I could strike a woman I care for.

Fighting a girl as a guy is a lose-lose situation

If you lose? Lol, you just got beat up by a girl
If you win? Dude, you just beat up a girl!

They should be able to hit you back. Hitting them to show dominance is kinda sexist.But if it's a fair fight then I don't see the problem.

I've been hit by girls so many times and I've never hit one back.

When I was younger, a girl I knew would like to pick on me in front of her friends because I was so passive. One day she took it too far and dared to kick me in the nuts, so I gave her a black eye. Last I heard of her. Pretty fair, if not, don't care.

Hitting a girl is bad if you are a gentleman. Of course the idea of gentlemen and ladies isn't fashionable anymore because its inherently sexist and sexism has been a hot topic for quiet some time. If you really believe in the equality of the sexs then hitting a girl is no worse then hitting a boy.

So, if you're a short guy, and some bodybuilder woman corners you, starts beating you up. Then proceeds to attacking your family, you'll just standby and watch?

Did I say anything about whether or not I'm a gentleman or if I believe in hitting a girl or not? No, I didn't. Don't put words into my mouth, thank you very much.

I totally agree with you, my good sir. The next time a girl asks me why didn't I hold the door for her I'm just gonna ask if she believes in equality among sexes. If she answers yes, I will tell her to piss off. Otherwise, by all means will I open the door for her, and then I will send her into the kitchen to make me a damn sandwich.

Holding a door open is a nice thing to do regardless of gender. You shouldn't make people make you sandwiches. Everyone knows that hand made sandwiches are better. Be sure not to confuse sexism and being an asshole and slamming doors on people though.

It was just an example. I hold doors for everyone, and I'm nice to everyone, but sometimes girls really like to get on my nerves. Stuff like: "Oh, help me, I'm just a girl, I'm not strong enough to carry..."
And the next minute:
"Why didn't you pick any girls for your dodge-ball team?"
"They aren't strong enough."
"You sexist bastard!"
That's what I'm talking about. Still, this isn't a great example either, but it will have to do.

women want to be equel to men so it is my opinion that if a girl hits me for real I'll defend myself

 

[CrazyGirl17]

...What about in self-defense? Or if they're being a whiny *****? Otherwise, I do not condone hitting a woman. Just throwing it out there.

Here is my response; The gender of the people you hit makes no difference, unless you do it BECAUSE of the gender, in which case you are a sexist fuckhead.

I think it would be legitimately difficult to attack 50% of the people you see.

Psychopathic sexist fuckhead then?

Still though, if you were a psychopathic sexist fuckhead then you wouldn't stab half the people you see on the street...

IMO unless its for self defense there should not be any reason AT ALL to EVER hit a girl - they are usually weaker than men, so hitting them (in my eyes at least) equals "abusing my physical superiority" for a retarded purpose.


Usually women cant figh back - and usually men are drunk while hitting women, its primal instinct to project "dominance" when feeing unsure or sad and thats why men do it.

Men that hit women for fun or when drunk are scum in my eyes - undeserving of respect.

Maybe i have this old fashioned sense of honour - i dont care though, men beating women deserve to get beaten to a fucking pulp...

I know you're only repeating what you've been raised to believe but you're actually wrong. Women are weaker than men on average yes, but the difference isn't as critical in fight as you think. If a woman seriously wants to hurt a man she's still got enough strength to make it happen, she's not an insignificant threat.

The other factor is that women are actually more likely to use a weapon in a fight. See, women know they're weaker and have been raised to think they're significantly weaker so they are far more likely to grab a weapon to 'even the score'. This applies regardless of whether she's the attacker or the victim so if a woman comes towards you looking to hurt you she's probably swinging something sharp, high heels are a favourite. Any difference in strength is negated by one party being armed.

Women and men now mingle equally in social situations and women are starting to become far more aggressive than they were, happy to fight men and will normally arm themselves. Women aren't property any more and they certainly aren't always the victims. If you get into a fight with a woman it's not either a case of abuse on your part or a hysterical crying and slapping you can easily overpower. Women are just as capable of sincerely fighting as men and it's something too dangerous to laugh off because she'll be as close to you in ability to harm you as makes no odds.

I am aware of what you said - the scenario I specifically talked about was rather of the "one on one, no weapons"-type.

I also meant men wanting to hurt women on purpose, not the other way around - if a woman would try to kill me by using a weapon all my stated points and beliefs would go out the window faster than superman can change clothes; self defence is only fair in any and all scenarios IMO.

About your opinion on todays society i also have to agree : women HAVE gotten more aggressive - i dont necessarily see that as a bad thing though, aggression isnt always coupled with violence :>

I don't generally believe in hitting someone unless it's self defence but as traditional gender roles break down you'll start seeing a lot more women involved in what my favourite self defence site calls 'social violence'; idiots settling disputes with their fists. Basically it's got to the stage now where men and women don't view each other all that differently and a woman is pretty much capable of asking for a kicking in the same way another man would.

Basically women are starting to behave in a more typically male fashion and they're starting to move into the world of male social interaction. I don't like it myself but I can kind of see a time where men and women won't draw a gender distinction.

I don't like aggressiveness in young women because (1) there is a punishment disparity between sexes so women don't get as good as they give and (2) the times I've seen women use violence as a status assertion tool they haven't known when to stop. I agree with you in principle but instead of aggression I would say that women displaying assertiveness is a good thing.

EDIT: Basically beating a woman for sadistic or domineering purposes is wrong, but defending yourself isn't and having a mutual fight is wrong on both of you...but in the wider sense not particularly important.

I could not have said that better myself (!)

Girls/boys/men/women/small fluffy animals: as soon as something, anything comes swinging at you, all bets are off in my opinion and you lump them one back.

If I hit a guy and he doesn't hit me back, I'm gonna feel pretty insulted. Just sayin'.

Sigh... If you are more inclined to react in a violent manner because of their gender, then you are a sexist fuckhead. Is that good enough for you?

 

[Total LOLige]

If a guy full on punches a woman in my eyes they are a fucking pussy.

I'd imagine a lot of girls would find that offensive and I know I do, even though I am a guy, I would like to think if I was a girl i'd think the same way. In my eyes a guy has as much right to hit a girl as a girl does to hit a guy. Would you consider a girl that hit a guy a fucking pussy in your eyes? If not, then that is sexist.

As a boy I went through highschool being bullied by both male and female, and just cause some were girls didn't mean they bullied me any nicer. I learned that to think about things equally. If I have a good enough reason to hit someone, the fact if they were born with a penis or breasts isn't going to stay my fist. That doesn't mean it is ok to be mean and hurt people, that includes anyone, both male and female.

Someone asks for an opinion and when you give them it you get flamed. Fucking hell ever since I posted that reply, my inbox has been full of quotes saying that's sexist and offensive.

NOT GOOD ENOUGH!
What I was simply saying is that attacking half the people on earth isn't a good strategy, regardless of what you believe.

When my cat meows at me for food, I meow back. I knew I wasn't the only one who thought that way!

Only if:
-You, yourself, are a lady.
-She is trying to kill you with a weapon
-it's the zombie Apocalypse or some other horrible situation and she won't calm herself
-she murdered your family or something similar causing you a need for vengeance
