Is Hitting A Girl All That Bad?

[Palindromemordnilap_v1legacy]

If they hit me, I'm going to hit back. I'd never start a fight with a girl, but then I wouldn't start a fight with a dude either.
Its equal rights really. Treating girls differently just because they're girls is sexist

long awnser short
hitting someone: bad
hitting a girl: equally bad
(and for those who dont understand)
hitting a boy: also equally bad

As a 14 year old 6,2 feet (189 cm for those of you who don't use a completely retarded measuring system) whose only fight ever reulted in the arm of the opponent being broken I personally just don't try to cause any physical harm to ANYONE. My sister occasionally pushes me when we're having an argument (and by argument i mean me trying to have an argument and her yelling at me). I just walk away.

I mean don't get me wrong if someone (even a woman) were to actually attack me he/she'd be on the ground begging for mercy moments later but personally I believe you shouldn't hurt anyone unlesss it's necessary. But to fully answer your question, no it's not inherently more wrong to punch a woman than to punch a man or vice versa, it depends on the situation.

I hit all women regardless of their gender.

And, if you didn't catch it, I'm also fucking hilarious.

 

[Roofstone]

It is wrong to hit anyone, but in defence? Knock yourself loose.

If they're making disingenuous assertions? Go full throttle on them : p

The way I see it if a girl starts a fight with Me for no good reason and is swearingand curseing and lashing out at that moment that person loses all the rights that females have and stops being a lady and I think its fine to defend yourself. As for pieces of shit that beat there wives and gfs for no reason at all they deserve to rot in hell

I don't think you should be wondering if hitting a girl is all that bad, what I think you should be thinking about is why you're still hitting people at age 21? Grow up already, that shit's supposed to stop at like 8-10.

I see a lot of people following the argument of: If some chick was threatening your life or the lives of those you care about would you still hit a woman? This is a different scenario from the general understanding of hitting a woman. Man or woman, if they are trying to kill you, then absolutely you defend yourself to the fullest extent. In the scenario given by the OP, your sister wasn't causing you harm and you should learn how to verbally communicate with her rather than either of you resorting to physical violence. There is also a big difference between horsing around and angry physicallity.

In most situations where your life isn't in danger, there are verbal ways to communicate, if you have to do anything physical, learn restraints, these result in you being able to control the situation without any hitting and hopefully no one getting injured.

Depends. If a girl hits me for no reason, I'm going to crack her one back.

All this chivalry bullshit just further creates gender inequality; if we are all equal hitting a girl is no different than hitting a guy.

I kind of have to agree. at least with the first few sentences. If a girl randomly hits a guy for no damn reason then yes go for it and hit her back. I wrestle with my guy friends. And when I say wrestle I mean I get picked up and slammed into the ground/wall/etc and wind up bruised and sometimes bleeding after it as do they. I see nothing wrong with it but then that's because for me that is a release of frustration. If it turns into more of an abuse scenario then no its not right on either gender.

Well, I seem to be even smaller than the guy who posted the thread, but my opinion goes as follows:
You hit me, I hit you. That's what I've always been taught, especially with the added "Even if it's a girl." Obviously you play it by ear and try and defuse the situation by other means first, just as I would do with a guy, but if push comes to shove, then yeah, it's fine. Other than that, no, hitting women is not okay (unless they ask you to, of course, but I think we were going for non-consensual stuff here).

 

[Icehearted]

Does spanking count? I know quite a few women that seem to enjoy that.

I hate the faux macho "restrain her" replies. They come across as chauvinistic, like women are basically weak little kids that have permission to physically attack a man and a "real man" does nothing but accept his pommeling. If someone, regardless of their genitals decides to attack me, I will defend myself.

Here's a better question; Why is it okay to violently sexually assault a man but horrible to do so to a woman?

 

[Felix 'Solomon' Hultgren]

Not hitting a girl because she's a girl is sexist as hell. You're either saying that she's inherently weak or just not worthy of being in a fight. However, not hitting a girl because she is smaller and weaker is just standard courtesy that applies to everyone. You shouldn't hit anyone who is weaker than you unless they physically assault you first.

 

[Swat_Kat]

One old girlfriend cheated on me with my cousin, you bet i slapped her.

 

[Dr Snakeman]

What you did, I wouldnt say that thats really hitting. especially since you knew her that closely. thats more like sibling rivalry.

Now actually hitting a girl? I find that to be rather spineless and disgraceful if your a man, but then again I'm old school in thought like that.

Same here. Although, it really shouldn't be acceptable to go around hitting anyone, regardless of gender. I read... somewhere, can't remember where, this nice little quote:

"Son, never, ever hit a lady."

"But what if she hits me first?"

"Son, if someone hits you, they ain't a lady."

I like it.

Edit:

I don't think you should be wondering if hitting a girl is all that bad, what I think you should be thinking about is why you're still hitting people at age 21? Grow up already, that shit's supposed to stop at like 8-10.

Also, this. Adults don't hit each other. Ever. An adult can hit a "grown child" who physically assaults him, but two adults will resolve any conflict they have verbally.

 

[Whitefeather]

It's not that hitting a girl would be disgraceful as much to me, it's hitting someone who is physically inferior. If a big 6'5" 200 lb dude punched out some 5'5" skinny guy just to prove he was bigger or some other weak reason, that's bad just like if he hit a girl. That said, the VAST majority of girls are weaker than the average guy, it's just natural. Not saying there aren't strong women, but most of them aren't. So hitting one if you're a man is usually just a bad way of exploiting your physical advantage to solve a problem there were probably much better solutions to.

Fighting is for rednecks. A woman can hit me if she wants, women are generally speaking weak and their punches hurt like a gentle summer breeze on your cheek. Plus I have reflexes and strenght (karate & boxing experience probably doesn't hurt either) to just grab their arms before the punches land, so w/e. Bring it. But I always try to talk my way out of fighting.

But if someone threatens a friend it's on. I'll knock anyone out if it's to protect a friend, and whether the person threatening is a man or a woman. Come after me and I'll laugh at you, go after my friendos and the gloves come off.

In my experience, I've found that women you hit are a lot less likely to sleep with you. Furthermore, if other women find out you hit women, they are also less likely to sleep with you.

So yes... hitting girls is pretty damn bad, if only from a blue balls perspective.

Seriously though, I know I'd hold my manhood cheap if I hit a woman. No real explanation for that except a gut feeling, even though rationally it can be justified. I'm not saying there might not be times when it's necessary, but at least have the decency to feel guilty about it.

Casual slapping though, to vent your anger... no justification for that.
