I do think you can be a gentleman without being sexist. Being overbearingly nice to women is but one facet of the code of gentlemanliness.Twilight_guy said:
Also, I think you have the right to defend yourself when someone else assaults you, no matter the gender. If a woman suddenly tries to hit me, I'll try to hold her back without actually harming her, but if that doesn't work, then I won't have a choice, will I?
Besides, this whole "hitting a girl is a serious, heinous offense" is a double-standard. Remember the last time you saw a story about a man beating his wife in any form of media, then try to remember a story where a -woman- physically abused her husband. It's not that cases of the later doesn't exist, it's just that men rarely do anything intelligent about it because of the prejudice and mockery they'll face if his situation comes to light. "Oh, look, it's the guy that is pushed around by the 1,60m tall housewife. Look out, I've heard there are some tough girl scouts hanging around where you are headed!" And stuff like that.
So yeah, basically it's a load of bull. If people want equality of sexes, let it be true, not this unbalanced crap we have today.
Is hitting anybody a desirable recourse? No. If you need to resort to hitting people, male or female, you're most likely lacking in more important areas than if your gentlemen or not.
Don't hit girls; don't hit anyone.
But, otherwise, I agree with not hitting girls for the most part. They are generally smaller, have lower body mass, are less experienced with being hit or taking such injury, and are generally more breakable. I don't want to hit them because I am not a prick.

Eight years of martial arts practice has taught me that women can be every bit as vindictive, underhand and vicious in a fight as men. Statistically, women are less likely to be able in a fight than men, but that doesn't mean they should be ruled out. A friend of mine still has a scar above one eye where a group of people jumped him, and a girl hit him hard in the face with a fistful of cheap rings. I take the general approach that, regardless of who they are, if THEY attack YOU, then it's down to only one of you and you're worth more than they are. It's a modern society, and I'll pulp anyone who tries to rough me up whether they're male or female.
I hasten to add, I'm not the sort of person who advocates violence. I just don't believe idiotic rules like "don't strike a woman" hold up if they try to strike you first. Attacking ANYONE is reprehensible. Defending yourself against violence is just common sense, and I'll cry no tears if I break a few of their ribs, regardless of who they are.

Hitting anyone is bad. Hitting anyone weaker than you, be them man, woman, child, animal, etc., is worse than bad. End of story.
Fuck that old Gentlemen Bs..if a girl is like coming at you with a knife or brass knuckles i say why not use your fist to defend yourself.... But then again just Practicing tripping and restraining the Physco...all in all i would rather avoid contact with crazy Angry Lunatic Female.
well put it this way: would you be okay smacking me?
i'm 5'4 and about 130 (but thats fat, skinny i'm 115) lbs.
here's how i fight my friends (pretty much the same weight class as your sister):
do fuck all.
grab their wrists and a small shin kick.
let them go.
if they try again grab the wrists, shin kick, if they struggle lamp them.

Not gonna lie. Our society is backwards.
Think about it, we live in a society where women demand equal rights to us, but then expect us to still treat them as they were treated 100 years previous. They expect us to pull out all the stops to show them some unearned respect.
But, on topic:
Hitting a Girl: Bad.
Self Defense against a Girl: Good.

First of all I will state that you must have very small bones to be that light. I've always been larger than most people, going into highschool I was over 6ft tall and was just naturally stronger than others I met. So for me to hit a woman in any situation that wasnt life and death I believe to be wrong. In my experience women are more delicate than guys, even when they weigh more, this is usually do to smaller bones and the structural difference of men and women. The issue lies with where does it stop if it was fine for men to hit women, we would likely have a lot more battered women which just isnt right. I dont believe it ok for a woman to hit a man either, however, and although i doubt I'll never run into the situation, I'm not exactly sure what I would do if I ran into a woman trying to hit me.
I'd have to say it's not okay. Hitting in general is stupid, and arguments shouldn't come to that. Of course there's times when you have no real choice. One of the first few posts said what if a bodybuilder woman just starts beating on you. That's different, that person intents to harm you, and you have all the right in the world to defend yourself. But if it's just an argument, or she pushed you, just walk away.
I smack my wife's ass all the time, take me to jail.
Is it ok for guys to hit girls? Well lets look at it this way, I am 6 feet 4 inches tall, and weigh 300 lbs. Yes plenty of fat but tons of muscle as well. It is NOT ok for me to hit any women and in fact it is NOT ok for me to hit most guys.
I have had women(and some men) hit me right in the face with everything they had, and I barely flinched, but I guarantee if I hit them with only half my strength they would be hurting bad. That is the situation with most guy on girl violence. That is why, excluding certain crazy situations, it is not ok for a guy to hit a girl.
On a funny side note, my 2 year old son can bring me to my knees by hitting me in the stomach, go figure.

I'm not the type to hit anyone really, and I haven't gotten in any serious fights with girls in my humble 16 years of life, but I think I wouldn't do it. Its the old thing of fighting honor probably, where hitting someone that is substantially weaker than yourself makes you an arsehole, and I do support that stance.
Like most things it depends on the situation, pushing her away when she started shoving you first and for no real reason, all fine by me. Pushing her out of the way because she's being a ***** and intentionally blocking your way, potentially questionable, but no harm done here. Pushing her around because she's kinda sorta in your line of sight, you're probably a douche bag. I could probably go on for a while but you get the idea.
I think most people get the idea of "guys shouldn't hit girls," because most of the time when you (or at least when I) hear about a guy hitting a girl it's usually some macho jack hole beating the fuck out of his wife/girlfriend who's like 1/5th his size.

I once tried to explain that, and everyone blew up at me like I was a madman. I took five years of Karate as one of 3 boys in a 12-person class, with one of two teachers also being a woman. I got over the naive little 'don't hit girls' mentality real quick. If someone wishes to be violent towards me, I reserve the right to respond in kind if necessary.Twilight_guy said:
And I actually did have to put that to the test at school once, a girl kept hitting me, I got sick of it and blocked her, then pushed her arm away from me. The next day her boyfriend came to me during lunch and told me to apologize to her. I explained to him that I have nothing to apologize to her for, since she initiated violence towards me and all I did was stop it. He was extremely vehement that I apologize to her regardless, so instead I apologized to him, because I respected the fact that he was so persistent about it.
It's not bad in the slightest! If you have to hit one and people will complain, you just ask her politely 'do you believe in women's equals rights?' if she says yes, then she clearly agrees it's no worse to hit her than a man, henceforth you may go right ahead.
Then again, I still say men get way more abused than women these days non-physically... We've lost equal rights a long way back - women now have MORE rights than men. So yeah, they want equality? Expect to be treated like it.
