It is never ok for anyone to hit anyone in anger. The only time you are allowed to hit someone is to defended yourself.

^^^^ I agree but I never hit anyone even in self defense I wlak away if they continue then they better just back that truck up is all I have to say. But to answer the question women have no right as do men to hit eachother in anger or not. If you feel you need to resort to that "then take an anger managemet class"!!

Walking away is usually a good means of self-defense and it is generally easier for a man than a woman because he normally outweighs her, is stronger than she is, and can leave the kids at home with her while women don't feel they have that option. Neither gender should resort to hitting, dah.

anyone who still thinks women are the compassionate more kinder sex is a fool that's all I have to say. When someone is out to physically harm you you do what you have to do to defend yourself whether the attacker is a man or woman. Everyone is familar with the term reasonable force.

Womans man

I've known of women who have done all of these things. And worse!

And then gone sobbing to the cops when the bf has slapped them. Not beaten them up either. Slapped them

Anyway; it is not okay for any one to hit anyone with meanness. Bunny punches are ok. But, not hateful punches; like you want the other person to DIE. Not good. Man or woman.

Ok I would like to add something here. lol. One thing is for sure that If I could drop a person that is 6'3 and I am only 5'4 really I am sure that some one a bit smaller than me would have no issues with that if trained properly. I myself figure that if a female right out and hits her partner out of anger the guy should have the right to defend himself but use nessassary force. That does not mean beat the crap out of her. It just means use enough force to protect yourself. I would think that of a female to do as well but for the most part If you are fightting with some one you are supposed to be in love with than really take a step back and think about it. Are you really in love ???? Now if it is just some random person who has threatend you or your family than hell ya beat the snot outta them. It kinda works in a lot of diffrent ways. there are so many things that are classed as abuse now. But in a relationship I agree with most of the people here. Don't fight. Sometimes it is hard to walk away if you have that person comming at you. That is where you only use necssary force with that person. EG... If you have a 4'0 person you would not use the same type of force that you would use on a person of 6'0. You would seriously hurt that person. you know what I mean? If not just let me know and I will explain better. lol anyways now that my ran is done I will be on my way back to work lol. hehehehe

did. That traumatized me. It was so awful.

I cant comment on this anymore.. too many memories
============================

Dijital

I appreciate your trauma if you can't comment but here's an intreasting question.

Which is going to traumatise a young kid more. Watching the parents bashing one another, or watching the parents bonking one another.

Because the second is almost garanteed to have social welfare galloping around to remove the kids.

many things, that are listed as wife bashing, are never listed as husband bashing.

Try this collection, of definitions of battered wives, from the Darebin Community Centre in Northcote.
• Do you feel like you are walking on eggshells?
• Are you told what to do, when to do it, what to wear?
• Do you have to account for your time?
• Are you forced to have sex when you don't want to?
• Are you made to feel scared?
• Are you hit, kicked or pushed around? Do you have things thrown at, or near you?
• Are you cut off from family and friends?
• Is your partner possessive or jealous?
• Does your partner control you and the money?
Typical examples of wife abuse? Think again.

- The average husband DOES feel as if he’s walking on eggshells every time his bowels fail suddenly, and he makes a hasty dash from the garden to the toilet with anything on his boots. (If a wife threw up in his car, with a touch of morning sickness, and he yelled at her, it would certainly be listed as abuse.)

- The average husband is told what to do by his wife absolutely all the time. Including how to do things that she has no knowledge of.
Something goes wrong and the average wife is promptly screaming at her husband “DO SOMETHING” That’s domestic violence! That’s husband bashing!
(A great many wives still take some sort of sick pride in this form of husband bashing frequently bragging to the girlfriends about how helpless her husband would be if she wasn’t there to tell him what to do. )


- The average husband does have to account for his time. Each and every time he works back late. He’s routinely accused of infidelity even though he’s got the overtime money to prove otherwise. The real truth is that the workplace often feels more like a home than his home. Particularly if home means “walking on eggshells” all the time.

- The average husband is hit, kicked, and pushed around. The shelters and the law list every angry shove, by a short tempered husband, as wife bashing. Ask around your own office. Do you have a single female staff member who as NEVER, given her man an impatient shove? Including you!

- The average husband is very much cut off from family and friends. Her family is welcome in the home, his are not. His friends are usually his workmates and they are not welcomed into the home.

The Darebin Community Centre has got one thing right. All of these forms of abuse are still abuse. Blood doesn’t need to flow before abuse occurs.

:killuminautica:

What we fail to remember here is that the female gender in almost all species of life on our planet is the more dangerous of the two genders. I.E. spiders, big cats, dogs etc.


Well put.

Ever pick up an ally cat? If you compare the muscle of an ally cat to the muscle of a 'well-loved' cat, it's different. An animal in the wild developes denser and stringier muscle from having to constantly defend itself. So if women and men where embattled in the wild, the mass gap would be smaller and women would have a much better chance.

But lets face it; compaired to an ally cat, most human beings are sedentary. The only way either sex has an advantage is through training. I know women who can smash a watermelon 6 feet in the air with their feet. No untrained man would ever get close enough to hit them. If you threw some adrenaline into the mix, and any one of those women could turn a man into a vegetable.

All fun stuff aside though:

Here's where I get all 'after school special'

Violence is a serious issue. The World Health Organisation has officially recognised violence as an epidemic. An illness. It is prevalent in our media and gets piped into our homes every day. Whether it is violence between the sexes, between nations, over ideals or religion, in the workplace or in the home; violence should be recognised, evaluated and controlled at the first sign. Everybody here has either lost someone to a violent act or knows someone who has. 9 in 10 or more of us has suffered personal violence. I've read almost 20 accounts of personal experience just going through this thread. We all know theres a problem. The only thing is; I haven't seen too many solutions that don't involve further violence.

I say; if you want it to stop, start with yourself and your loved ones. Learn about and recognise the early signs of violence and take steps to prevent it.

Peace!

Unless she's slapping a .357 Magnum out of his hand then "NO!" it is NOT okay for a woman to hit a man except in self defense and even then it would probably be best to just remove yourself from a volatile situation BEFORE it becomes an EXTREMELY volatile situation and STAY REMOVED, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN!!!! If they hit you once, they will not stop at more later. My advice for women and men in abusive relationships is to get out NOW before it gets even worse. No one deserves to be treated like a punching bag. "He/She didn't mean to do it and they cried and said they were soooo sorry for hurting me and they would never do it again!" Riiiiiiight. I guess you would believe that Jeffrey Dahmer was just suffering from a midnight snack craving and was all out of Haagen Daz at the time. "But they sent me a beautiful bouquet of flowers at work, etc..." Okay, tell them next time to send them straight to the funeral home and save time and money because that's eventually where YOU will end up if you KEEP this relationship up.

It should never happen, but unfortunately it does quite a bit. I have met many, many battered women in my old career and it is horrible. Violence begets violence, take it from somebody who knows.
I, personally, would do everything in my power to stop a woman who was trying to hurt me w/o hitting her or hurting her...I would even run if i had to. But if i was in that situation where a woman was that upset to attack me, i prolly deserved it.
I have confronted alot of men who deserved it.

Ya know... this is a toughie! Phylosophically speaking, society's views are meant to evolve as society itself evolves. On this point I should emphasize that anybody hitting anybody is an act of aggression. Yes, I will agree that some people "ask for it", but the exersize in morality is that we are expected to turn the other cheek. You will note that I have removed all gender from this response as these rules are universal. A man is expected to keep his cool and keep his hands to himself, so therefore a woman should do the same in a socety where all are considered equal, and that means with equal responsibility for your actions. So if she hits you first, it only makes it worse for you to hit back. The only reasonable response to the feeling that you need to be violent is to get out of the relationship. In other words... turn cheek and head out!

Well, the only circumstance I might find it acceptable for a woman to hit a man (or even the other way around) would be in self-defense if it is the ONLY way out of the situation. For instance, if someone is hitting you and you need to knock them out in order to get away. Other than that, I do not believe in hitting anyone... man, woman, child or animal.

Men that allows a woman to hit him mean the same as a man hitting a woman..low self esteem and will shoulder the acceptance of the abuser. Some get involved in a fight and make up sex scenerios and people just don't understand that concept. When people cant control their temper ..one or the other should leave the scene immediately and allow the passion to die down..

It's not ok for a woman to hit a man but I'm sure it's not going to hurt him much if a small framed woman hits a big brawny man. He should NOT hit her back, even a smack in her face could break her nose or bust a lip. he should just be a man and put up with it :) losers
