Do you think that if a woman hits a man that he has the right to hit her back?

Question

I firmly believe that if a man were to ever hit me, that I would get out of the relationship fast...but what if the man hit me because I lost control and hit him first?

P.S. This is a hypothetical question!

Answer 1

In my opinion, if ANYONE launches an attack against your person, you have the Right to defend yourself regardless of the attacker’s sex!

I will Never hit a woman..........First! But if I Do get hit by a woman, all bets are off and any guys who jump in and try to defend the girl's "right" to beat on me will get it worse!

You need to realize that the days where men lay their jackets over a mud puddle so the chick can walk past without getting her feet dirty are OVER! The women of today want to be treated as equals so we should give them Exactly what they want!

The funny thing is, I've Never had to hit a woman. As long as you make it clear what will happen to them if they try to "play it like a man", 99.9% aren't stupid enough to try it because deep down inside they know they would get spattered.

As for you maneene_goddess, you'd better hope you never hit Me!

Answer 2

I think that for anyone to hit anyone else is wrong. So, a woman should never hit a man in the first place. It is wrong. So is a man hitting a woman. Two wrongs do not make a right.

I believe if a woman hits a man it should be treated the same as if a man hits a woman in the first place, as assault, whether she can actually do much damage to him or not, the intent to hurt is there. So, the bottom is, society has to change its way of looking at the whole question.

so, as an answer to your question, no he does not have the right to hit her back. She should be charged with assault.

Answer 3

I think that whether or not it was a man or a woman that got hit they should at their best try to walk away from the situation instead of stooping to that other persons level and trying to solve a problem with violence. But if anyone threatens any kind of bodily harm upon you you do have the right to defend yourself, i've seen some woman horribly disrespect there men in public because they knew how they felt about laying there hands on a female, and I think that's wrong, it's not right to disrespect anyone in that manner.

Answer 4

I m a men and I never hit a woman because if the men hit a woman or the woman hit a men the relationship is bad, for this reason the best way always is the dialog.

Answer 5

I've seen this stuff from time to time and it seems that real men are able to restrain even the craziest of women even if they take a couple shots along the way! Women are naturally way more emotional than men (way more) and we can get overwhelmed especially if alcohol is involved...If a woman hits a man, he deserves an apology and will probably get one. Some men actually enjoy seeing women go over the edge! The men I respect are the ones who chose self defense and if you know anything about martial arts, you know this does not involving hitting back.

Answer 6

violence is not good in any relationship. I believe someone has a right to defend themselves. But I find it totally unnecessary to strike back. In most cases, men are much stronger, would do more damage, and probably didn't get hurt in the first place. Self control is a wonderful thing. Also why are you losing control. Take a close look at the relationship.

Answer 7

i do not think it is right for a man to hit a woman but at the same time it is not going to help by hitting her back...restrain her from hitting you or get away from her...i have been in two abusive marriages and i did not fight back...but they seemed to have the idea since i was their wife they could do what they pleased...i have got damage from this and i do not like fighting at any rate...and i listened to so many excuses of why they did this when they were apologizing...but once they start they do not stop....so i wasted 30 years of my life and now i am alone...get away from a relationship where their is abuse and arguing all the time....

Answer 8

I think if both parties are on the same footing, and the woman hit the man first, she should expect retaliation. However, I do not condone fistfighting AT ALL, so I think if someone got me to the point where I even wanted to hit him, that would be my cue to split with him real fast.

Answer 9

I always told my brother if a woman was man enough to hit a man, hit her back.He never listened to me.
Id probably tell my son the same thing.
But what do people expect running around hitting each other?
Thats wrong for both parties.
I have had knock down punching fights with my brother and my ex.
My ex never hit me as hard as he could have. Or my brother.
I dont think its right for anyone to hit anyone.

Answer 10

I don't know about hitting. In almost all cases, men hit harder than women - and I don't mean that as a sexist remark, just a matter of fact. But I'd understand if I slapped him or something and he pushed me or did some other close contact move. Not hitting, though.
