Poll: Would you ever hit a woman?

[verdant monkai]

Only if she keeps on hitting me and its starting to hurt

You assume she doesn't 'know' how to hurt you. As has been said above, there are a very large number of girls than could take the majority of the male race apart with little effort. Machismo aside my friend, the truth is that the human body, the male body too, is quite fragile. Anyone who know how to hurt it doesn't NEED to keep hitting you. If you let them aim a strike, you'll go down immediately.

You are the one making assumptions here not me. I don't want to hit anyone, some girls may be able to knock me down with one punch, I already know that and I will do my damnedest not to piss them off.
I can only just understand you, your wording is appalling. But if you are accusing me of having overtly Machismo ideas then F*CK OFF. I have the greatest respect for nearly all girls that's why I would not hit one unless I was getting attacked by one. Sorry if I am wrong there.

LIES!!! YOU LIE ADAM JENSEN!!!
That was an unprovoked assault on the numerous clubbers and bouncers over something as trivial as the bartender's joke!

Have you seen HBO's show "Episodes"? Matt LeBlanc is playing himself, only his personality in the show is different from the one one in real life. It's the same with Deus Ex. It's just a video game for your entertainment. I'm not like that in real life. I use those nanoceramic blades as kitchen knives only.

well..sorry if I offended you. your own wording could have used some more thought there. 'only if she kept hitting me and it started to hurt' implies you don't think most girls could hurt you/ would just do a slappy ineffective pummeling. I didn't mean to offend.

EDIT: also, what exactly is wrong with my wording? I'd like to know so I can avoid wording things that badly in the future.

Nope, never. I definitely believe that there are women out there who deserve a good beating, I would just never be able bring myself to do it personally.

 

[Agow95]

Gender doesnt matter, you fight for equality for hundreds of years then complain that I'm not allowed to hit you on the grounds of gender then I'm just going to do it again

 

[putowtin]

I'm a woman (looks down to check) yeah still a woman

The image portrayed of hitting women is wrong, hear me out.

Your a sadistic arsehole with no penis to speak of who hits his wife/girlfriend/other woman, for no reason than it makes you feel better... this is not ok

A woman runs up to you and for no reason hits you over and over, leaving you no choice but to hit back...this is ok

 

[demoman_chaos]

Just like for hitting anyone, it depends on the situation. It will take more for me to hit a woman, but I'll layeth the smackdown if needed.

 

[Fishyash]

Hmm, "never under any circumstances" is a bit extreme, because I don't think gender would matter in a situation where you are in physical danger.

As a whole, I don't hit people at all, but I think I would definitely be more lenient towards a woman than a man. I guess I was just raised that way and I don't see how that would change at the moment.

 

[Ickorus]

My stance on physical violence is the same regardless of gender:

If you attack me, I will defend myself as necessary.

As a general rule I don't start fights. (I finish them!)

Now see here, I am 6 foot 2, and I am sorry if you think other wise, but most girls would probably have to hit me a fair few times before I went down. And I would defend myself by first asking them to stop then restraining them, then if it came to it hitting them. Everyone knows they can be hurt and I know girls can hurt me, did I imply that I am superman? I think you have some sort of chip on your shoulder to be quite honest.
As for your wording sure lets look at this example
"Anyone who know how to hurt it doesn't NEED to keep hitting you."
Still not sure what you mean but if I am right you could have said. Anyone who knows how to hurt you doesn't need to keep hitting you.
I hope this helps you.
As for my wording it is a perfectly applicable answer to the question on this forum, if you had read it you might have known that.

not sure I understand why the phrasing is bad. All of the information needed to understand is in the previous sentence. my punctuation is off because I'm terrible with grammar, but I thought the idea was clear enough.

the human body, the male body too, is quite fragile. Anyone who know how to hurt it doesn't NEED to keep hitting you.

The whole idea was that the human body is easily injured which means than anyone who understands how to hurt/disable it doesn't need multiple blows to do so, especially assuming they don't care how much damage they do to you.

EDIT: I am also rather tall. Taller than you, in fact, but I know that even someone much shorter than I am could disable me easily even without training. A premeditated harsh blow to my solar-plexus, for example, which anyone can do, could easily disable me long enough for any number of other vulnerable spots on my body to be targeted. Additionally, I did read your post. What you need to understand is how easy it is to misinterpret small, poorly worded posts.

I have and will again if the situation calls for it.

People are less aggressive than you think, most people and certainly most girls I know have no idea how to disable someone with one blow. I doubt you do either, just in case you are some sort of assassin or some psycho who researches this stuff, please dont kill me I've got so much to give. Seriously though if you go around "disabling" people with one blow you are highly skilled (not at grammar obviously).
I was under the impression I was being attacked by an average theoretical girl not wonder woman. I think everyone else has taken this question the same way as I have.

 

[Blobpie]

Only in self defense;
When someone, regardless of gender threaten my own safety i will do what i necessary to defend myself.

 

[Relish in Chaos]

I think it?s outdated and sexist to say that you?d never hit a woman, but you would hit a man, in an age of so-called gender quality. Of course, no-one should really be hitting anyone except in certain circumstances, but I believe it?s perfectly acceptable to hit a woman in self-defence. I mean, due to the society we live in, I may subconsciously hold back, but not intentionally.

I go to this kickboxing club, in which there are both men and women of varying ages. In sparring, I never hold back on the women, because that's unfair to both of our exercises and I know that a lot of them are actually stronger than me anyway.
