This, I believe, is quite a controversial issue..

The majority of men and women believe that it is wrong for a man to lay a hand on a woman. I can see why it seems inappropriate seeing as a man usually holds more strength than a woman, but what if the woman genuinely deserves it?

I'm not talking about a full on beating, but I've watched a lot of conflicts in which the girl has been really laying into the guy - punching him, spitting on him etc, for him not to do a thing, and then the moment he pushes her everyone calls him out?

I just want to see what everyones opinion is. Like, why is it okay for women to pick a fight with a man and then stand in disbelief when he actually responds? I know I've deserved a punch or two many times LOL :p
 
I remember once when I was out with a couple of friends and we were walking home. Suddenly some drunk pregnant girl came up screaming and yelling because one of my mates had kicked an old can on the pavement. She ripped my mates shirt then threw a punch at me, missed and fell in a heap on the floor. She then curled up and started pleading hysterically for me not to hit her. I just shook my head and walked on. I dont believe in hitting women but I can certainly understand why some women get hit!
 
If you hit someone, be prepared for them to hit you back, regardless of your gender.

If nothing else, it's incredibly risky to assume that if you're a woman, you are automatically safe from assault. While most men would shirk at the idea, knowing full well as you said that he'll be the one getting blame, not the woman, there are also men out there who wouldn't think twice before hitting back. And let's face it, most of the time men are stronger. You're probably going to get hurt far more than you can give out.

You're a rare breed. I like the way you think. I'm not a fighter but I'm not going to disagree with you.
 
It's really only right, I guess if it's for self-defense. Otherwise it's just wrong, I would never hit a woman, unless they were attacking me or something. Or unless they allow girls and guys to mix it up in the octagon, thats there own decision.

This I completely agree with. :thumbup

It's wrong to assume that you won't get punched because you're a woman.
My cousin is a classic example of that going wrong when she started verbally abusing a man on the street when she was drunk, and then threw something at him. He responded by punching her full pelt in the face! But tbh, she started it and so he was in his right to do so.

I believe a true man does not ever need to hit a woman for any reason other then that she may have a weapon. A weapon to me levels the "battleground" in a sense. Though I would hope the "hit" would be to disarm a woman and not to abuse her repeatedly. Even if the woman is unarmed there are other means to defending yourself such as using different holds, but one must make sure to never use excessive force such as using a choke hold in it's full form. Overall, I believe that certain situations may call for it, but only as a means of defense or when your life may be on the line. Just my own thoughts as usual.
