Is Hitting A Girl All That Bad?

[DannyHale09]

You should not initiate violence on anyone.
However if anyone hits you (Boy or Girl) they are fair game.

Simple rules to live by!
You are welcome.

hitting a girl is just as bad as hitting anybody else. end of discussion.

 

[shadyh8er]

I really don't condone hitting anyone, but if the girl is out to cause you physical harm, then not holding back would be your best option. Of course, you'd have to prove that it was self-defense. It'll be hard because the girl will probably try to play innocent.

No Captcha, I said "innocent," not "inistsi."

It's no more or less wrong than hitting a man in the same circumstances.

I think it's sexist to not treat men and women as equals. The same goes for the old phrase "Women and children first" when talking about lifeboats.

 

[EightGaugeHippo]

Unless they are posing a serious and real threat to either me or someone else. I would never hit a woman... Or a man for that matter.

I enjoy play fighting, and sexy violence, but I could never hit my girlfriend with intent to harm her. It doesn't matter how angry I get, it just ain't happening.

Actually, for me, hitting girls is often as tempting as hitting guys.
I've been in quite some fights and I have realised that I am not capable of controlling how hard I hit. Of course I can roughly determine the strength behind a punch but sometimes I just hit people way too hard. Which makes me afraid of hitting girls because I fear that I will overdo it and hit her to hard.
However if there would ever be a girl that challenges me to fight(what I highly doubt) I would surely decline but if someone no matter what age, gender or ethnic simply pisses me of and doesn't deserve anything else than a nice beating then I will give in to my urge of hitting her/him.
Of course I would never hit someone I like, yet someone I love.

Between siblings, it's bound to happen. But I would still make a conscious decision not to hit her, because she's a woman. Deciding not to hit a woman "because you're stronger than her" is bull. I don't hit women because it would mean I'm an asshole. I'm also a champion for chivalry and being a gentleman.

EDIT: Grammar mistakes ftw.

 

[DarkRyter]

Hitting anyone significantly weaker than yourself is in poor taste.

Violence in general is actually a pretty bad thing.

But gender doesn't (or at least shouldn't) have anything to do with it.

 

[Total LOLige]

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

Because women are weak right?

I'd like to see you go up against a female boxer. Maybe you'll reconsider your stance.

Why would you pick a fight with a female boxer? I'm talking about hitting your average women not a 210 pound behemoth.

 

[Reaper195]

Personally, I treat women as I treat men. The same. So if someone hits me, I'm going to hit them back, irrelevant of gender. Of course, I'm blatantly against men that beat women for no real reason (Or are just generally being dicks).

 

[Necrofudge]

Ehh... its no worse than hitting anyone else, I guess. Can't we all just get along?

 

[Kelethor]

Hitting a person is bad. would you want too be hit? of course not. do you think she does? of course not.

 

[LiberalSquirrel]

I've never quite understood how the "guys shouldn't hit girls" thing is still going strong. To me, it reinforces a "women are weaker than men, and must be protected" stereotype that really should be gone by now. But then again, guys being uber-chivalrous when they're with me has always vaguely annoyed me. I'm female, yes. Doesn't mean I'm going to break if I have to open a door myself.

That doesn't mean I'm saying, "Yes, go out and hit girls!" I don't think anyone should hit girls... and I don't think anyone should hit guys, either. I'm all for non-violence, unless violence is the only choice to defend yourself.

 

[Just_A_Glitch]

Hitting anyone is all that bad...

 

[mayney93]

It is never and will never be acceptable except in the worst in the of situations

 

[Knight Captain Kerr]

I think it is bad to hit any person and making that decision based on sex is well sexist. I think people should defend themselves if attacked or if it is an evil that is necessary to do a greater good.

 

[mental_looney]

There is a bit of a difference between siblings fighting and beating up your wife/girlfriend as you are angry. Doing it to protect yourself is not the same as doing it to assert dominance over the person male or female.

I'm 25 and my brother is 22 and we still hit each other occasionally not full on fist punching style just siblings pushing each other about.

 

[infohippie]

Sisters don't count as girls.

 

[That_Sneaky_Camper]

I don't think it is wrong to hit a girl if you have a good reason to do so. If she is just being bitchy and annoying you then no it is not alright to hit her for that, but if she is full on attacking you and trying to hurt you then you try to restrain her and disable her ass from being able to hit you again. Women get away with hitting men because of societal preconceptions of women not being strong enough to hurt men when that is bullshit, getting hit by someone hurts regardless of who it is. My parents always got mad at me growing up for hitting my sister even if she had throttled me with a bunch of punches and kicks before I responded in kind, it is just a stupid double standard.
