If a women hits a man first, is he justified to hit her back?

Only in a life or death situation would I deck a female

I'd go with a Judo throw.

Well, just don't do it in public with lots of people if your'e a guy or it will end up like this: 
 
  

It depends . If its a mixed fighting tournament , then yeah the guy is in all likelihood going to hit back . If its an outright assault , then the guy has every right to defend himself .

Depends.

If I was getting slapped,or even anger attacked by some small or average female, then no, I wouldnt hit back. I would probably just take it or try to restrain her. Even if she was trying to actually fight me I would just hold her down as long as she was smaller. But if she's my size, and can throw hands, then she's getting popped in the face.

Also, if a chick grabs my junk and squeezes it, or punches it with the intent to cause pain, then she's getting popped. This happened to a friend of mine. This crazy girl straight shoryukened his balls, then started cussin him out and hittin him a bit. He got up, falcon punched her in the stomach, then limped away. He seriously couldnt walk right for days. Now tell me, is there anything wrong with that?? Her friends tried to make him out to be some woman beater, but honestly I saw nothing wrong with it.

Edit: Im actually pretty strong so even if the girl was my size I would still just restrain her. However, if she was threatening my life in any way, or even threatening to do serious harm, I would put her down.....same goes for the nads scenario

Yes.

If she's attacking you with intent to kill or maim, of course, its shouldn't even be a question. If you get pulled into an alley and get a knife on your throat, you're not going to let her kill you just because she's a lady don't be dense.

No, never. If a woman was attacking me, I would simply defend myself or restrain her. It is never justified to attack a woman in retaliation.

This. I would only hit back if it was absolutely necessary.

I believe in equality. An attacking woman should be treated like a physically weak man (generally speaking).

1st option : evade

2nd option : restrain

3rd option : hit at 50% strenght

If you think I am wrong about this, then you think women are inferior human beings.

No man should hurt a woman.Even if she tries to hit him.He is only justified to attack or defend himself if she is trying to kill him.

@The Stegman: @Primmaster64: @Static Shock: I've had years of being abused under my belt. Also, catching a woman's wrist and pinning her, according to certain policemen, is assault. It's easier spitting blood as everyone watches in horror. It was her reputation, not mine.

I don't what police officer told you that, but no one should get in trouble for defending themselves. If that is assault, I'd be prepared to fight that in court.

Hm, I don't think about what I should do. I think about what keeps me from living in jail. I can't hit anyone back. It's just not me.

No I don't like physical abuse, a man should never hit a women. But lets say the women is the abuser and the man is the victim, if she hits him, should he hit her back?

Depends on how she hits him and what she hits him with. A slap to the face shouldn't be a problem. A man can walk away from that. If she's fighting you like a man would, restrain her or put her down. However, if she's bigger than you and is fighting you like a man, fight back.

In all honesty, a woman shouldn't put her hands on a man and vice versa.

@Primmaster64 said:

What if the women is trying to kill him? Should he defend himself in a way he that he doesn't hurt the women? What do you guys think?

If she's trying to kill a man, he shouldn't have any qualms about putting her on the floor via KO.

This...

Yes.

Yes of course. Everyone -no matter if male or female- has the right to defend him/herself. No matter to which sex the attacker belongs to.

We don't have the right to hit anyone but you can always justify hitting someone for a good reason.If a female were to hit me it would really depend on how much damage was done or whether it stopped at the one hit that decides what I do in retaliation.I personally feel like if you don't feel like your life or health is threatened you shouldn't hit a female back but for people who have been in fights before you know that sometimes when you get hit and you're not expecting it or it really hurts you just react automatically.Everyone should just keep their hands to themselves.That way you don't have to justify anything.

@Kal'smahboi: LMAO! *high five*

In cases of self-defense, yes.

Everyone seems to agree that men shouldn't hit (strike) women. I agree also, but I think it's important to remember that women shouldn't hit/strike men, either, though a lot of women seem to think they should benefit from a double standard that allows them to hit men while it also protects them from being hit.

Hitting someone is an act of violence. If someone (male of female) chooses to commit this act of violence, then that person is risking receiving the same action in return due to anger, self-defense or even simple reflexive action.

only in self defense ( she is coming at you trying to kill you or seriously hurt you ) should you flat out hit a women IMO... I mean if she really makes you that mad if she slaps you... just grab her and rub the top of her head for about 30 seconds...

Noogies!

Trying to kill someone and "hitting a man" are completely different things ¬_¬

if i get worked up in an argument because a man's treating me like shit and calling me names and what not if i were to slap him to get him to stop, does that give him a right to thump me in the nose repeatedly because it was "self-defense"?

Only if they were running at me with a weapon and hell-bent on killing me ......then i would have to Van Damme the hell out of her ...

Yes, Don't hit her hard enough to actually do anything more then stop her however if she's trying to seriously kill or injure you, All bets are off.

Where is Nobody when you need him

NOBODY is an anagram for CHUCK NORRIS.... :D

@Primmaster64: Forgive the lack of seriousness on my part but this topic and your avatar made me think... what if Tekken made the game in a way that you cannot hit a female character with a male character unless she hits you first. Hehehe!

It's really hard to tell....there are just so many double standards involved....

:P:P:P:P

Well yes in self defense hitting a woman back is ok.

@Primmaster64: Why am I getting the impression that you're planning on hitting someone?lol.

Only if he is a b!tch a$$...

No. Men who hit women are cowards, and epitomize a lack of evolution in our species.

Women will rarely actually punch a man properly, it's more like a slap. While it stings, just cover up and tell her to stop it, depending on the circumstances she probably won't carry on unless you cheated on her or something in which case you should probably stand their like a man and take your beating lmao. I don't know about all this defending yourself against a knife attack but if a man or women came at me with a knife i'd probably just run like sh*t lol

Yes, but it is morally wrong.

I think its more socially wrong.

@buttersdaman000 said:

Haha! I love how she acted abused after the slap. Dumb b*tch had it coming.

No. A man should never hurt a woman.

Not unless somehow she's a threat to his life. I know that's a stretch, but it's the only situation I would ever hit a woman.

For self-defense, it is okay. If it is just for the sake of vengeance, you two have no right to hurt each other. It all comes down to who will hurt anyone.

No. Men who hit women are cowards, and epitomize a lack of evolution in our species.

I don't hit women...so no, I don't believe a man should be justified to hit her back...

Self defense.

This isn't even true.Htting women doesn't make you a coward.You can be the bravest man in the world and still feel the need to punch a woman in the face for no reason.

What makes you a coward is hitting someone who you know can't defend themselves. Can't be the bravest man if you feel a "need" to punch a woman (or anyone else less stronger) for no reason. You know, that old adage, "Pick on someone your own size."?

That would only make you a coward in any sense of the word if you were hitting them because they can't defend themselves.

Not if you were hitting them because they aggravated you or as a reflex to an attack.
