Is Hitting A Girl All That Bad?

[JoesshittyOs]

I've been in a situation where getting physical was the only way of ending it. She threw a good two or three solid punches, I told her to stop, she didn't, so I used one hand and put it on her chest (carefully mind you) and pushed her to the ground.

I was more concerned with the fact that she weighed less than me despite being the same height, not that she was a girl.

It's not that black and white. If a chick from American Gladiator's is coming at you, you have every right to defend yourself. If it's a drunken college Sorority girl throwing half hearted hits at you, you need to be the adult.

Sexes are different because of the fashion trends and the way we allow culture to conform us. No political Correctness is going to change genes and human nature.

As Chris Rock said, "Ain't no one above an ass-kickin'."

Granted he also said he'd never hit a woman just before that, so I guess I'll just put it this way:

If my life is threatened, I will beat the fuck out of anyone. If I can take it, then I'd rather just turn the other cheek.

 

[Yosato]

This is just one instance that you're applying it to. Generally males are bigger and stronger than females, so beating one up is unfair in my eyes

 

[Seventh Actuality]

All of the reasons people give for not hitting girls are retroactive rationalization for a sexist, nonsensical norm with no place in a sane society.

Trust me, it might not sound very feminist to say that hitting girls is good, but the attitudes that gave birth to this "rule" do far more harm than good to women everywhere. During the women's rights movement(s), there were a fair few opponents arguing against women's equality on the basis that "the men will protect them! Equality will take that away!" and even nowadays misogynistic shitholes like Saudi Arabia trot out the same crap.

Fuck it. Fuck it all. This rule condemns men who act reasonably and undermines women's rights by encouraging passivity and helplessness to be the norm. If you refuse to be violent, that's respectable. If you refuse to hit someone weaker than you, even more admirable. If you just won't hit someone because of their gender, that's not moral on any level.

 

[UlytimateDestruction]

I think both sexs should be treated equally. Just because your a women doesn't mean you have next to no strength. It isn't right to just punch someone for no reason but if they punch you first you have a reason to punch back in order of self-defense regardless of what sex they are.

 

[Sneezeguard]

Anyone remember Susan B Antony or that Powerpuff girls episode about equality?

Susan B Antony voted even though it was against the law for a woman to do so. She was arrested but the feds took pity on her because she was a woman and decide to let her go even though she was found guilty. She didn't want special treatment however, she demand that she be sent to jail like any man who broke the law, She wanted to be treated equally.

If anyone you meet ever says you shouldn't hit girls the ask them if they think women should be treated equally or given special treatment.

 

[Regular Guy]

Well, I expect guys to be manly and be able to take a punch. If I hit a hundred pound girl (that's less than half my weight), it would be entirely unfair and wrong.

 

[Jessabi]

I'm a girl, and if I were to hit a guy I would fully expect for him to hit me back. A few months ago there was a fight going on outside my dad's house, and was basically a girl beating on a guy who refused to fight back because 'guys shouldn't hit girls' - absolutely ridiculous! He had every right to defend himself. This double standard annoys the heck out of me!

 

[Infernostrider]

im sure somebody posted something similar to this already, but, imo you are asking the wrong question

i dont discriminate, the question, to me, should be "is hittin anyone ever all that bad?"

and the answer would be yes. girl, boy, whatever, it doesnt matter. just dont hit them!

exceptions: contact sports like boxing. self defence (and that one only cuz others are doing it wrong, so by extension is wrong itself. DONT discriminate here, if a girl hits you smack that ***** up like she's got a beard ><). uhm..anything else...oh yeah, playful fighting, without intent to cause injury or harm ^_^

violence is just a big no no to me

 

[Coldflame727]

Here is my response; The gender of the people you hit makes no difference, unless you do it BECAUSE of the gender, in which case you are a sexist fuckhead.

I think it would be legitimately difficult to attack 50% of the people you see.

Psychopathic sexist fuckhead then?

 

[AVATAR_RAGE]

Who ever strikes 1st is in the wrong regardless of sex in my book.

To me me equality outweighs chivalry so sex does not matter, after all equal rights are a two way street. I do not wish to undo what has been achieved in the last century in terms of equality just to keep a medieval ideology alive.

 

[Dahni]

Hitting a girl is fine with proper justification. I know there's all that unwritten rule crap but, honestly? I'd be offended if I hit a guy and he didn't retaliate based purely on my gender. Obviously, I don't tolerate him turning around and beating the shit out of me if I'm not trying to beat the shit of him. ie. Me throwing one punch does not justify a kerb stomp sort of idea.

 

[Twilight_guy]

Hitting a girl is bad if you are a gentleman. Of course the idea of gentlemen and ladies isn't fashionable anymore because its inherently sexist and sexism has been a hot topic for quiet some time. If you really believe in the equality of the sexs then hitting a girl is no worse then hitting a boy.

What about hitting a boy is as worse as hitting a girl? It's a matter or perspective

I don't make the rules I just know that its in the code of chivalry (somewhere) that men don't hurt ladies. GO ask the complex relationship of medieval values modern romanticism and cultural trends if you want to know why.

And then feminists will hit YOU

I'm a feminist too, if one socks me I'll sock him or her back regardless of gender. Gender equality FTW!

 

[Al-Bundy-da-G]

My general rule of thumb..

Haha, major Boondock Saints flashback.

Edit: On topic, disabling an attacker.. male or female should be done with as little force as possible. Attacks should not be done at all.

Should've been rule of wrist.

OT: Only in self defense applies to everyone

So, if you're a short guy, and some bodybuilder woman corners you, starts beating you up. Then proceeds to attacking your family, you'll just standby and watch?

Did I say anything about whether or not I'm a gentleman or if I believe in hitting a girl or not? No, I didn't. Don't put words into my mouth, thank you very much.

I totally agree with you, my good sir. The next time a girl asks me why didn't I hold the door for her I'm just gonna ask if she believes in equality among sexes. If she answers yes, I will tell her to piss off. Otherwise, by all means will I open the door for her, and then I will send her into the kitchen to make me a damn sandwich.

Holding a door open is a nice thing to do regardless of gender. You shouldn't make people make you sandwiches. Everyone knows that hand made sandwiches are better. Be sure not to confuse sexism and being an asshole and slamming doors on people though.

Why does everyone think this!!?? Being a gentlemen is still very cool don't stop doing it! That doesn't mean be all soppy and act like the sun shines out of a woman's every orifice and to drop everything you're doing the second she walks in the room, but opening the door and allowing her to go first or offering to carry something heavy is still completely fine! If a girl has a whinge at you for doing something like that, she's a *****. You're just being polite and there's nothing wrong with that. Sure, we want to be treated as equals, but I'm equally sure some woman take this as an excuse to treat some men as lower.

Not saying woman aren't better than men. Cause we are.

I didn't say I wasn't going to be a gentleman, I was pointing out the inherent sexism in the logic of the system. I didn't even judge the system as good or bad. Being a gentleman is not nearly as emphasized or important as it was way back when. If this is good or bad is not an issue with an answer and not one I want to even try to debate since its pointless. None-the-less not hitting women probably comes from this code.

(Also, female are biological better then men... QQ, but having a less complex set of reproductive organs means less types of nasty infections and problems with them)

 

[XDravond]

Well hitting a girl is not something a true gentleman does. =D
But if she assaults me and keep on hitting, there is no way I'm going to stand there and just take it. (And can't restrain her or get away..), handle most of my fights (the one with guys to) this way..

But then again I would never hit a girl in anger.

And one reason where it really is depending on the situation is between siblings...no one dead and hopefully not involving any parent then its (somewhat) fine...

I'm no pacifist but hitting people is generally bad, so the rule is: try to avoid fights. But prepare to handle them with minimum amount of violence..

 

[countrysteaksauce]

I could explain it to you myself, but A Pimp Named Slickback just does it so much better than me.

Spoiler: Yes, you have to say the whole thing

 

[ZydrateDealer]

Is hitting a girl bad? It's no worse than hitting any other living creature so yeah it's bad but then siblings always hit each other. A few moments ago I dressed as a ginosaji in order to twat my sister with a spoon (she thought it was fucking hilarious). I suppose it depends on the circumstances. Playful hitting is always okay...until someone says stop.
