Men hitting women rule question?

Question

Now we know that it's not ok for men to hit women even if the women hit the men first because generally, men are stronger than women.

So here's the question:
If a women hit a man and the women is twice as big and twice as strong as he is, do the rules change, as in, is he allowed to hit her back?

It's not a marriage couple. It is hitting them jokingly or as hitting hitting.

I'm not trolling. I'm just seeing that in your opinion, is the rule a double standard.

Answer 1

Sadly no. It doesn't matter how big the girl is, or how scrawny the man is. Men are not allowed to hit women, and women are fully allowed to hit men. It's yet another double standard we live with in today's world. I don't think it's right, I don't think it's fair. In fact, I think that it should be equally taboo. But the world doesn't seem to agree with me.

Answer 2

no way, no one deserves to be hit n just b/c either gender is strong does not justify any hitting from neither side. The bottom line is: no matter what you do, do not hit a man, even though ur stronger, if that's the case. If a woman ever does hit a man, n the man happens to call the cops, it might get ugly n the person doing the hitting is taken to the local jail on domestic violence charges. So, please no hitting, again if that's the case, if u don't then u have nothing to worry about. Good luck

"Now we know that it's not OK for men to hit women even if the women hit the men first" Screw you. If a woman smacked me, I'd smack her back. I'm not saying that I'd hit her or give her a black eye, but a slap in the face deserves a slap in the face back.

As far as stronger, wake up. How much strength does it take to claw someone's eyes, scratch them; bite them; or knee, kick, or squeeze their balls? What about poking their throat, cupping their ears, or pulling their hair? Not to mention use of weapons and taking someone off guard, which women love to do in domestic issues. I'm not even getting into women who are trained martial artists.

If a man is too stupid to defend himself then he's going to get hurt, and everyone has a right not to get hurt. If we let women get away with slapping us, then we are teaching them that it's basically okay, even if we say that it isn't. Actions speak louder than words.

Also, strength has never been the issue. If a weak man hit a strong man, has it ever been taboo for the strong man to hit back? Exactly.

Answer 4

In self-defense, sure. I don't support anyone's right to retaliation when a threat has passed.

If someone is attacked by a person who could really do them damage, they have the right to self-defense.

I will say this though, a lot of times women are the only ones accused of having a double standard here but men are partly to blame as well. It seems the general idea is that for a self-defense claim to be valid, the person who was originally attacked would need to admit to either injury or at least fear of injury. A lot of men on this site do ask the question (and its a good question) "could I hit a woman in self-defense?" My answer, yes. But are you willing to admit her ability to inflict pain on you? It seems that some (or quite a few men) want to be able to claim self-defense but not admit that a woman could hurt them in some situations. That's understandable given society's expectations but you can't have it both ways.

Answer 5

well first it's not right in any way for women to hit men ether. or men to hit men or women, women.
If anyone assults another person self defence is considered the amount of force required to keep yourself out of harm. If all you need to do is walk away, then that is the appropriate amount of force. If you need to restrain the person in some way to keep them from hurting you or others. The only time someone should strike back is if there's no other safer way to protect themselves or others.

Answer 6

Since hitting back is not neccessarily self-defense, I would say no, mostly. If the man is unable to get away or can't get her to stop hitting him, then OK. But although "hitting back" may be fair, it doesn't solve anything. Does he have the "right" to? Sure, I guess. But what's the point?

Answer 7

Hit the women is not necessary and vice versa. But if the matter is to defend one self then the rules might change.

Answer 8

Either way , if a woman or a man is dishing out abuse it is wrong. Regardless of size of either spouse... There are serious issues if there is any type of sposal abuse occuring. It does not matter what gender or size. There can be arrests made for the abusive one yet, usually- I have personally witnessed- both will be placed under arrest since the police don't feel like sorting it out- assault is assualt!

Answer 9

I dont think a woman should be allowed to hit anyone, any more than a man should be able to.

My mum always spoke out against it, and said 'if a woman is big enough to hit a man, she's big enough to get hit back'

Answer 10

People over the age of 5 years should know not to hit.
I had sons in school and I taught them not to hit.
You would be AMAZED at the bratty little girls who hit my sons and claimed immunity from being hit back because
" I'm a girl".
What's more appalling is the number of parents, teachers, and administrators who agreed.
Best never to hit, but..
...if you hit,prepare to be hit back.
Good luck

Answer 11

Both parties would be guilty of assault. It's not about being "allowed" to hit someone back; both would be breaking the law.

And it's not OK for men to hit women not because of their strength, but because it's illegal.
