Do you think that in any circumstance it would be right for a man to thump a women in the face?

The example I am thinking about is if a woman hit a man for some reason?

[joeysteele]

I think in the example it still would be better for the man to use restraint there but for me it is never acceptable for a man to hit a woman or indeed vice versa.

[Northern Monkey]

Personally never had to.Better to scare em.They won't do it again if you do it right and no violence needed.Now if they ever did it again then that could be a different story.

[VanessaFeltz.]

i think no one should use violence. but if he has to do it to protect himself, thats another story but i prefer him trying to end it in a non violent option

[Jamie89]

It would never be a good thing but it could be considered acceptable if it was in self defence, depending on the situation. Same goes for any act of violence.

[Amy Jade]

If a woman hits a man she should expect to be hit back.

I don't believe anyone should just allow themselves to be attacked.

[Firewire]

In self defence but men have to worry about the woman going to the police. Even if the man is attacked, if he fights back he'll incriminate himself.

[Kazanne]

No one should hit anyone only in self defence,I do believe men are usually stronger than women so it seems worse when they do it but ideally no one should hit,slap or punch

[Lostie!]

Assaulting someone is unacceptable regardless of gender and those who think women hitting men isn't as bad need to tell that to the men abused and killed by violent partners.

Likewise, both genders have every right to fight back and defend themselves if they're being attacked. I'd rather bear the ridiculous outdated social stigma of being the guy who fought back against a woman rather than be the guy seriously injured or killed all because victims of female-on-male violence risk being mocked and/or vilified if they dare defend themselves.

If someone attacked me I would hit them back, couldn't care less what gender they are

Yep. If a woman hits a man, she's got to expect to get hit back

They don't have to expect anything. But personally if I was attacked and felt threatened I would hit back, regardless of gender

Yeah this.

Personally, if anyone hit me I would try my best to just get out of the situation ASAP instead of making things worse, but if I felt like there was no other option or if I was in some kind of danger, then I would probably hit them hard ONCE and leave it at that.

If only being a 'female' was some guarantor of feminity, but it is not. Some women are just as capable of aggression and violence as some men - and despite always regarding myself as a 'Gentleman', I would not think twice from defending myself against possible injury from such females, and that would include punching where less 'violent' restraint was not an option.

Women's Prisons are full of female wannabe Mike Tysons.

Just happened across this:

‘Give me 20p!’: Aggressive beggar demanding small change hurls abuse and tries to kick terrified teenager before she is SAVED by a friend who pays tramp off.

Yelling woman stood over 16-year-old Bobbie Vaughn and aims a kick
Teenager simply didn't have a 20p to give but the beggar didn't listen
Eventually another passing girl gives the adult some money

This is the shocking moment a sunbathing teenage girl was subjected to a stream of abuse after she told a female beggar she couldn't give her 20p.
Video footage shows the topless adult screaming in the face of 16-year-old Bobbie Vaughn while she was relaxing in the Piccadilly Gardens in Manchester city centre.
The woman leans over Vaughn, who is lying down, yelling indignantly, 'All I wanted was 20p' before aiming a kick at the student as she shouts, 'Don't run your mouth to me.

Now, if that was ME laid innocently sunbathing on the grass....

I can't in all honesty say I wouldn't hit a woman if I was hit by her first without provocation. I'd have to be considerably angry / a little drunk though, bc I'd most likely just be "ok you daft bitch" and attempt to walk away.

[Livia]

I don't agree with men hitting women. But if the woman hits the man first, all bets are off.

[reece(:]

Regardless of gender if you swing at me expect it back!

You been watchin' too much BGC?

[Mystic Mock]

It depends on if she consented or not?

But seriously no a man shouldn't hit a woman unless the woman does either of these two things.

1. She hits the man first.

2. She makes the man watch Charmed.

Well there is a couple who go to an auction I go to. He is a thick set mean of 6 foot 8 and she is a wee wifie of about 4 foot 8 (often very tall men have very small partners!)

Now noone is convincing me that if she started hitting him, he should lamp her

its just not realistic

She shouldn't be hitting him though? If she got a thump back it might make her think twice about raising her hand to people in the future...don't you think?

I disagree, by that reckoning a smaller guy can punch a bigger guy and not expect a punch back? I think not

Size is no guarantee of strength. And generally, women fight dirtier than men.
