Should a woman be able to slap a man?
 

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?

They shouldn't :mad:

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

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

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

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"

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

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)

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

Agreed :thumbs: 100%

I'd give Karma, but time restrictions

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

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.

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.]

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.

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.

Yeah, its the rules of feminism.

Neither should hit either:nono:

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

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.

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?

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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?

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...

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.

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.

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