Should a woman be able to slap a man?

[Scarlett.]

You see it all the time, especially in soaps

Women punching and slapping men, you see it in real life too

Why should a woman be able to freely slap or punch someone without repercussions?

[Locke.]

They shouldn't :mad:

[Jen]

I think if a woman slaps a man he should hit her back...

I would't hit a man... never.
:D

[pinkmichk]

they shouldnt its still domestic violence just not as heard of as much as a man slapping a woman
my parents had a violent relationship but it was never my dad always my mum
i dont like how soaps etc almost glamourise it for when a woman is doing it
imo its still wrong and should be treated the same as a man hitting a woman

[Scarlett.]

Yeah, I sometimes think when I see a woman punching a man in a soap
"What if that was the other way around, wouldnt be as 'funny' then"

[Novo]

yeah

why not

:laugh:

2 wrongs dont make a right and trust me on this i have been there having a fist raised at you by a man is one of the scariest things i have ever been through

[Scarlett.]

Yeah, but like if you are hit and shouted at, its almost like a instant natural reaction to being attack


Although I do not condone a man hitting a woman either, although it is acceptable if its a reaction to being attacked (and vica versa)

[Riz]

It depends on the situation.. Its not rite for either male or female to physically attack one or the other.;

I'd give Karma, but time restrictions

[BapStar]

Whats worse is when you see 7 year old girls doing it and thinking its ok cause its been on a soap

[Fom]

I don't think a girl should slap a man if he doesn't expect to be hit back, I would never hit a woman but if she hit me I wouldn't hesitate to hit her back. I hate the way women think they can get away with hitting us loads because they are women. I treat women as if they are anyone else!

Then again the only girls I talk to are the boyish ones lol.

[Llamajohn]

no.

they all yelp about bloody equal rights...and when we hit them its all BAD MAN BAD!

they should **** and get cooking.


[joke, btw.]

[Tom]

Yes, as long as its fine for a man to slap a woman. I'm against men slapping women, therefore I think its wrong for a woman to slap a man. 99.99999999% of the time I wouldn't even dream of slapping a woman but if one slapped me and I don't think I deserved it then I wouldn't hesitate to hit her back (I sound like a woman beater now :joker:). Double standards IMO if women think they can get away with it.

[Benjamin]

only if they want a swift back hander in return around their face. Why should they be allowed to hit us, yet harp on about how wrong it is for men to hit women.

Neither should hit either, like they say you get what you give.

[melanie]

Yeah, its the rules of feminism.

[KawaiiSakura1]

Neither should hit either:nono:

[Sticks]

Either way it is classed as common assault and therefore illegal.

[Sunny_01]

No it isnt ok for a woman to slap a man. As for women "harping" on about equal rights etc.. well I am all for equality etc.. but as a woman I feel that at times some feminists do more harm than good. I enjoy the fact that my husband carries heavy items for me, I enjoy having doors held for me, hell I even enjoy it when an admiring look happens, why shouldnt men appreciate when a woman looks good.

[Nutters22000]

I wouldn't hit a women so would expect the same resect back in return:thumbs:

what if a situation of, say, a women catches her boyfriend/partner or husband in bed with another women? would a slap in the face be acceptable then? :spin2:

I suppose it is down to individuals with something like this. I would rather show my utter contempt in ways other than giving someone a smack in the gob. In all honesty though I dont suppose anyone really knows how they would react in certain situation until they are faced with them.

Would that situation be any different to a man finding his partner in bed and giving her a slap?

[Barbie]

dont think its right either way... which is why when people are shocked and complain when a man hits a woman but dont flutter an eyelid when she hits him seems weird

[Xander]

No way, what gives a women the right to when a man isn't allowed, its a bit sexist really.
Neither man or women should participate in violence towards one another.

[SiaSiaSia]

I have slapped a boy, but because he put out naked pictures of me on the internet.
If it was a girl I would have done the same.

I agree with Xander in general though

[letmein]

No one should hit anyone.

You have to understand that there is a long history of domestic abuse against women for centuries. Men also outweigh women biologically, although that never an absolute. Many women are bigger than men, and many men are small to begin with. You can then refer to what I stated earlier about the historic nature of violence against women.

But alas, no one should be slapping anyone. :thumbs:

Now, enough with this, or I'll be forced to slap you.

[Glenn.]

The way I see it, if a woman is big enough to throw a punch or a slap at a bloke, they are big eniugh to get one back. If a woman slapped/punched me I would hit them back.

[Z]

I particularly hate women who slap men for no reason; like they literally just slap you for thrills. Those sorts of people deserve a slap back, but I've never done it because I don't want to be judged over it (which is ridiculous, but that's the way things are!)

Women shouldn't be "allowed" to hit men, and if they do, then it should be considered acceptable for a man to hit back (from society's POV) because it's self defense.

[MrGaryy]

It;s weird. If a couple got in a fight and one of them hit the other, in the law's eyes, had it been the women hitting the man - it's self defense. But if it's the man hitting the women - it's domestic violence.

[Spike]

No way, it shouldn't be tolerated for anyone to be slapped

[*mazedsalv**]

Imo, it could be tolerated if the woman caught her husband cheating on her, but defenitley not without a reason.

Slapping someone when they have done nothing bad should not happen.

[Sticks]

It would still be criminal assault, irrespective of whether the "victim" of the assault were willing to raise a complaint with the police and bring charges.

Yeah I see what your saying.

[Ruth]

Nobody should hit anybody, regardless of gender (unless in self defence, if it is the only option).

Chances are, if the victim of the assault did not want to press charges, then the matter would be dropped. I see it through work, almost on a daily basis. Although, the police do not need a complainant to press charges, they rarely will press charges without one.

[Spike]

This is a stupid question. Violence shouldn't be tolerated no matter who is hitting and who is on the receiving end. For those people saying yes to this question then here are some more..

Should a black woman be able to slap a white woman?
Should a Christian be able to slap a Muslim?
Should a old woman be able to slap a young woman?

[Vicky.]

I think if a woman feels fine to hit a bloke, he should feel fine being able to do it back.

If women want equality, give them it...

[Stephanie]

i don't think a women should be able to slap a man.
and i have slapped a boy in the face, he punched me in the face back. which i expected.

[Crimson Dynamo]

The answer lies in the fact that women are physically smaller and weaker than men, in most cases. Thus the slap rarely is more than a surprise and does not constitute assault.

It is used to shock rather than injure. If a man slapped a woman it would more likely lead to a reversal of that.

When a woman resorts to slapping a male 99/100 they deserved it and it has the desired affect.

[atieah2009]

of course they should not be able to. But if the conservatives come into government then they will be able to LOL.

[30stone]

If i have been slapped or punched by a woman for doing somthing wrong id take it and do nothing as im in the wrong, or if it was just a bit of fun.

But if someone actually tried beating me up as in continually punching me in the face... then im not sure what i would do, would at least scare them, probably get them into a hold until i understood what the were doing.

[Dr.Gonzo]

Equal rights... when it suits. No it should not be allowed.

[Stacey.]

women should be able to slap men,, (my opinion)

[Crimson Dynamo]

I think if a woman feels fine to hit a bloke, he should feel fine being able to do it back.

If women want equality, give them it...

and the fact that men are bigger and stronger?

your comment takes no account

[WOMBAI]

A perfectly acceptable reason - he deserved it.

Is a difficult one - but as your situation shows - there are times when it is justified.

So I would say in principle, no - but it depends. A woman slapping a man is not the same though as a man slapping a woman - because of the imbalance in physical strenth and size.

[Prole]

No one should hit anyone. Violence is never acceptable. You cannot hit someoneone regardless of how they've provoked you, what they've called you, if they've cheated on you... there is no excuse.

[Niamh.]

It's not right for a woman to hit a man but a man hitting a women back probably wouldn't be a good idea as they are more likely to cause damage!

[Crimson Dynamo]

So if you are a woman and a man approaches you in the street (or some such example) and tries to feel your boobs and there is noone to help you are not justified in whacking him?

[WOMBAI]

Yes! How dare he! He should also be charged with sexual assault - men can't be allowed to go around behaving like that.

[Crimson Dynamo]

Yes! How dare he! He should also be charged with sexual assault - men can't be allowed to go around behaving like that.

indeed, one must politely ask first.

[Dr.Gonzo]

Then the men should be able to slap them back.

[Enid]

Women should NOT feel like they can get away with violence.

I'm a feminist. Many people think a feminist is someone who advocates female superiority. Wrong. It's about equality and it goes both ways. If a woman can dish it out she should expect it back.

[WOMBAI]

In theory perhaps - but you have to take into account that men are bigger and stronger - which would make retaliation inappropriate. Wouldn't think much of a man that hit a woman back.

[Dr.Gonzo]

I do agree that hitting a woman is very wrong and only the lowest of the low do this. My point being that it is also wrong for a woman to hit a man. Moreso, in fact, if she believes she can do this and get away with it because men should not hit them back. All violence is bad. Size should not come into it.

[Enid]

A lot of women take advantage of this fact though and we are not as physically weak as some think. We can take a hit and can put up a good fight.

Sure, men who hit women should be castrated, but a lot of people overlook female violence towards males.

it is overlooked because it is inconsequential in terms of legislation.

[Enid]

And because of that men are beaten by their partners, too scared of raising a hand, knowing that he'd get done for it.

My father was the only male in our household and he abused me, my sister and my mother. I know what it's like and I feel very strongly against ANY violence.

[WOMBAI]

I do see your point - but size does come into it - because it is more likely to result in injury.

If a woman repeatedly slapped a man - then I would suggest he leave her - the same advice I would give to a woman who was repeatedly slapped by a man.

Violence of any kind is a no no - but some more so than others. I agree feminism is about equality - but as there is no equality in their physical strengths - for a man to hit a woman back would not be equal.

I can see your point, but I don't agree for the most part. If I shot you with a 9mm pistol would I get a lesser sentence than if I shot you with a shotgun? No. I know it's wildly different, but do you see me point? Sometimes it isn't the damage done that is the problem, it's the intent.

[Enid]

I understand a man's strength overwhelms a woman's, and the majority of men, for this reason, would not hit a woman back, but women know this and feel it's okay to hit a man because she is weaker than him. It's not at all. If I slapped a man in an unprovoked attack, I would expect a slap back.

[Crimson Dynamo]

What about hitting a slapper?

[Dr.Gonzo]

What about hitting a slapper?

When you say slapper... lol... do you mean someone who slaps, or someone who likes the cock... a lot?

[Scarlett.]

I was once kicked in the face by some cow when I was a kid, just because I wouldnt give a plastic bottle she hit me with back to her

[Enid]

What about hitting a slapper?
Hmm that is irrelevant. Violence should not be used, period.

My point is, a woman should not feel okay about using violence without expecting it to be used back.

[Enid]

When you say slapper... lol... do you mean someone who slaps, or someone who likes the cock... a lot?
Hey I like the cock a lot! I am not a slapper!

For the most part I do agree with what you say - but if that man did slap you back - would you have any respect for him? Two wrongs don't make a right.

Hyperthetically - if you had previously been warned by that man (if he was a partner) that if you slapped him again he would leave - and you did, then he should leave - or even press charges of assault.

You probably wouldn't be so quick to do it again in another relationship.

[Crimson Dynamo]

A woman can be violent at certain times of the month, period.

[Dr.Gonzo]

Hey I like the cock a lot! I am not a slapper!

Ok, my bad. You know what I mean. Various cocks. Lots of different cocks. Cocks without hats on. Cocks with no names. Cocks you won't remember. More than one cock a night.

[Dr.Gonzo]

Heh. I lol'd a little at that.

[Enid]

If a man slapped me back, it would teach me not to be such a jerk.

The man I am seeing now does not take **** from me and I respect him for that. When we first got together, we were fighting once (playing) and I slapped him. And he slapped me back (not in a serious manner). I was shocked because I was not expecting it, but it felt good (not in that way!). We have this unspoken agreement that we are not violent towards each other and if we ever are we will get it back.

[_Seth]

Yes, as long as its fine for a man to slap a woman. I'm against men slapping women, therefore I think its wrong for a woman to slap a man. 99.99999999% of the time I wouldn't even dream of slapping a woman but if one slapped me and I don't think I deserved it then I wouldn't hesitate to hit her back (I sound like a woman beater now :joker:). Double standards IMO if women think they can get away with it.

I agree. Women should only be able to hit men if men can hit women. Totally unfair to have it as a one way system.

[Patrick]

Its not fair if you ask me!

A Women Can Slap a man and it seems normal!
But if a man as much as Calls a women a rude Name, then the man is called Pathetic and stuff!

I know its wrong, I Spent 2 years of my life seeing my Mum being hit by my Dad so I know its a Terrible thing,

But if men DONT Do it then why should a Women get a way with it!

It is diffrent though if a Man hits the women first, cause then the Women should hit him as it would be self Deffence

[Scarlett.]

It's funny how its shown in the media

Say, a woman slaps/punches a man in a soap - reaction - HILARIOUS.....apparently

Say, a man slaps/punches a woman in a soap - reaction - He is evil and should die

Just shows how its all represented in the media

[Vicky.]

For those saying a man should not hit a woman back because they are stonger and bigger...heres a couple of questions.

Im out in a bar and some 5ft, 6 stone girl comes up to me and starts punching me, am I allowed to hit her back? Given that I am bigger, and most likely stronger than her? Or is that wrong?

And a less serious one...what if the woman does training and such, and is of equal weight and strength? Can a bloke hit her back then?

Some guys probably enjoy it lol they pay all the money for a dominatrix and they could just go into the city centre and piss of some slag.
