my take on thisMy take on this
Man who hits woman: ****ing coward
Woman who hits man: ****ing stupid
lol
lolI once fought a girl...
She was kicking, punching, slapping, scratching, hair-pulling, and groin-kicking me, yet I couldn't quite take the fight serious. I ended up practicing wrestling moves on her. She finally gave up as I was sitting on her.
We started dating a week later. = P
LMAOOO @ that vidThis guy would hit a woman http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jat7Z24ZUQs&feature=PlayList&p=A9B05C7EFB2E97F3&index=0
warning: naughty words
how am i being sexist? The point is hitting anyone is ********, no matter who you are.my take on this
you are sexist
lol
Dude, wtf? Beating her up? Come ON. If she tries to beat you, you block her hits. Or up to an extent, just gain control over her. Get her arms and her legs.if the girl is actually trying to kill me by punching me and kicking me for some weird reason then yes, i would beat her up.
but when would that happen....
LOL, I REMEMBER THAT ONE!LMAOOO @ that vid
... could you seriously not detect the sarcasm there? Because I'm sure there are infants out there that would pick up on that.how am i being sexist? The point is hitting anyone is ********, no matter who you are.
you say that men who hit women are cowards. you have obviously never had the **** beaten out of you by a girlhow am i being sexist? The point is hitting anyone is ********, no matter who you are.
Didn't read a few of the middle pages.
Some of the guys who do actually said they know martial arts probably do. There's nothing wrong with saying that.I just wanted to share with you guys that saying you're 'trained in Martial Arts' makes you sound like a douchebag.
Also, men just don't hit women, a gentle push is more than enough.
Sums it up, and I'm sure someone else said it in this thread already but this was where the page jumped me.Yes, I would hit a woman. I did it before, and I would do it again.
However, I'm in a similar position as Teran regarding the use of physical violence. It's the absolutely last resort for me to go to. And since I'm extremely reactional, I would only use violence if they started it.
I also think that the "males are stronger than females" argument is bull****, at least if it is said like that so generally. Yea, if they are of similar build, the man probably has a bit more strength than the woman. However, you can't tell me that the butchy girl is weaker than the skinny boy.
Furthermore, domestic violence is almost equally split between men and women, and actually, women tend more to domestic violence than men, which has been proven through a lot of studies since the 80s. Those usually are hid below the carpet because they don't fit the image of the strong and evil man abusing his poor and helpless wife.
The same goes not only for violence, but also sexual abuse (even to the extent of ****, though **** is a more "male" crime). In the western society, men aren't abused (through violence or sexually, both), and if a man is being abused by a woman, then he's "just being a wimp" or something.
That whole blown-up "Men should have absolutely no rights against women"-bubble is getting annoying.

Hehe.Would you hit a female Mr. Mime?
oh wait.
When you say things to attest to your own strength or brawn, then claim that you cannot perform the act in which you flaunted your proficiency in, it makes you sound like a person who talks big, but doesn't actually walk the walk. (a.k.a, douchebag).Explain please.
as long as we're sharing stories... i remember back in the day when i took tae kwon do (i think i was ~7-10 at the time, it's kinda fuzzy), we were sparring and this sumo girl lifted me up and smashed me into the floor spinning and headfirst.I remember back in the day a girl was pulling my hair and kicking me, so I shoved her and I got a time out while the girl got a talking to from the teacher saying "He probably likes you, that's what guys do when they like a girl.".
That's what guys do when their hair is pulled and they're being kicked.
everyone always thinks i'm always sarcastic, but i rarely am :/... could you seriously not detect the sarcasm there? Because I'm sure there are infants out there that would pick up on that.
would you hit a full-grown grizzly bear?At any rate, yes. I'd hit anything, animals included.
He said that the problem was saying you're certified in Martial Arts makes you sound like that, not saying he could do something that he couldn't.When you say things to attest to your own strength or brawn, then claim that you cannot perform the act in which you flaunted your proficiency in, it makes you sound like a person who talks big, but doesn't actually walk the walk.

"Yeah, I was bigger, stronger, and better looking than her, and I also am much smarter, but she gets better grades."
That is scrub-talk.A guy cannot, I repeat, CANNOT, win in a fight against a girl.
Win the fight: "Dude, wtf?! You just beat up a girl!"
Lose the fight:"Dude lol, you got beat up by a girl."
If you win, you're an a-hole. If you lose, you're a b****. It's best to avoid it all together. Unless it's a life and death matter, I'd never hit a woman with brute physical force. Meaning I would if I was joking with them, but only joking.
And that train of thought the reason why only a fraction of domestic violence or violence from women towards men is brought to the police.its just, stupid, as a man, you can easily stop a fight between you and a girl by just holding her down
theres no need ever to hit a girl
its just pathetic
dont do it
Oh God make it stop...Sums it up, and I'm sure someone else said it in this thread already but this was where the page jumped me.
By the way, newsflash to the people using the argument, "Well they tend to be weaker than us" and the variants:
That is a cute way of saying that women are physically inferior to men and thus should be treated differently. It's not about how much physical pain is caused; it's about whether or not a woman provokes a man enough and, in his mind, justifies herself to physical retaliation. Measuring the issue clouds the main idea behind it all.
"Just restrain her" is also one of those thing brought up commonly. It's bull****. Shove your "I took martial arts for several years" crock of horse**** into your nearest orifice because guess what, you're still human and unless she gives you the space to act and think, it's not going to do much for you. I don't think you people have actually been in a situation where a woman was pissed off enough with you to want to cause you harm. Guess what - holding them for a minute isn't going to stop them from tearing you the hell up right afterwards. To even restrain someone, you have to be in a good position and/or have the power to overcome them.
Unless she announces that she's about to jump on you and unless you're ten times stronger and faster than her, expect to lose control and be able unable to subdue anyone like that. And again, you can sit there and pin her down all you want but unless someone else is there to help you, she's not going to enter that vital cooldown time to not want to rip your head off because you're right on top of her. Think about the last time you were pissed enough to hti someone. Now imagine that someone who pissed you off held you there. Do you think that you'd be cooled off by being "restrained" somewhere? No! Unless someone pulls her away from you while you have her restrained, in order to create that necessary space and time for her to cool off, expect to get nowhere right after all is said and done.
It's so easy to sit back and say, "Oh just restrain her" when you're calm and just imagining what you'd do. It's so easy to imagine what you'd do if someone broke into your house. It's so easy to go through your plan as to what you'll say when that person you're going to see soon starts questioning you. It's so easy to plan out how to respond to every situation you come across while driving.
However, when a break-in is tossed upon you, you're taken out of that trance because things don't work out in a simple 1 -> 2 puzzle. When that person has counter points to whatever you were gonna say and is quicker to get onto you than you think because you just planned and planned, you don't have everything come out as smoothly as you'd hope. When those people swing out of nowhere in tha bright red car and you have to think about what to do to not get into an accident, your instincts work before that plan you conjured earlier. It's the same exact thing here. "Restraint" when you're likely not 100% calm (and don't say you're calm when you obviously have someone pissed off enough to hit you - this isn't an anime world), when you're not in any position to force a restraint and when you can't force this person to cooldown by holding them against the ground or the wall is terribly unlikely.
But really, I can't blame those of you who have never been in this situation because you simply do not know.
So, a woman, child or elderly person cannot deal serious damage to anyone? Especially not those weaker than them (which definitely can be the case), right?Okay, let's substitute the word "woman" with two different words: "child"; "elderly person". Is it okay for you to LOSE CONTROL if any of these people were to hit you?
What do all of these groups have in common? They are all weaker than the average male. You don't need to be a rocket scientist to know that the average woman, child, or elderly person is weaker than the average male. That gives you power over them, and with that power comes a level of responsibility (thanks Spiderman!). Yes, you do have to exercise control and restraint, because as a man, you can do serious damage to anyone who is weaker than you. And that's everyone who is not an average man.
Oh right, if a woman tosses an ashtray after me, I'm not allowed to oppose that in any kind. That's just sick and disturbing if I defend myself against that.Seriously though, I'm truly surprised and disturbed at how many people think it's okay to strike a woman, regardless of the circumstances.
Yes, I do think striking a woman is okay, if this woman is causing a serious threat to my life or physical wellbeing. If it's just a *****slap, I won't strike with a punch or so, of course, but if I get choked, hit with a weapon, kicked in sensitive areas, etc., I do think it's more than justified to strike back in order to escape the assault.And let me be clear: when anyone posts that they would hit a woman, I read that as, "I will close my fist and punch a woman." If that's not what you meant, then I apologize for lumping you in with the rest of the dirtbags in this thread that think striking a woman is okay.
Remember, most people should do it as a last resort.*stuff*
Nowhere in my post did I say that you don't have the right to defend yourself from attack. However, self-defense does not necessarily mean punching someone. Also, the point isn't the kind of damage the woman can do, it's the damage that you can do. The general sentiment here seems to be, "Well, she hit me first, so I was justified in my actions." Really? Another poster used the example of responding to a physical attack by hitting someone with your car. Is that a justified response? There is nothing short of a life-and-death struggle that justifies a man punching a woman.So, a woman, child or elderly person cannot deal serious damage to anyone? Especially not those weaker than them (which definitely can be the case), right?
If I get assaulted and hurt, I will defend myself. Of course, I will never be the first one to use violence, but jeez, if a child ****ing bites me so I bleed I WILL defend myself. If a woman kicks me in the nuts, I WILL defend myself. If an elderly person slams their cane into my face, I WILL defend myself. I have the RIGHT to defend myself.
Your stance is "A man has to be a punching bag because he ALWAYS is stronger than a female/child/old person.". I oppose this stance, because I'm a human, not a **** punching bag.
Oh right, if a woman tosses an ashtray after me, I'm not allowed to oppose that in any kind. That's just sick and disturbing if I defend myself against that.
Yes, I do think striking a woman is okay, if this woman is causing a serious threat to my life or physical wellbeing.

People REALLY should stop underestimating the physical strength of women. Try armwrestling with a nurse, she will most definitely beat you unless you're like a bodybuilder or something.
