Do guys have the right to hit a girl?

[leethal]

You shouldn't hit a girl as much as a girl shouldn't hit a guy. Violence is just wrong. Sort it out.

But if the girl attacks you, all bets are off. I won't blame you for hitting her back. But if she takes one swing at you, you take one swing at her.

Please people consider damage. Men have more muscle than women. We're meant for hard work, naturally. I'm not saying women are weaker. Just that it's naturally harder for them to develop muscles. Now normally men do more damage than women, so if you ARE going to strike back, just slap them, so they know you are there.

If a girl hits a guy then she deserves what she gets back, much the same as if a guy hits a guy. Women can't expect to be able to do whatever they want in the hopes that guys will patronise them, everyone is equal.

A guy should never hit a girl. there are numerous ways to keep people from hurting you other than hitting them. If you do not know how then you should learn. but I am a pretty big dude I weigh in at 240 and I am not fat. so there are probably a pretty short list of girls that could really hurt me. for you weak guys I say give them every opportunity to stop before you take any offensive actions.

I agree 100%, do you agree with holding their arms behind their back or something to that degree, but only to stop them from hitting you. The only thing is you have to watch out for them kicking your jewels XD

I should take that back from you for double posting, fool!

Editing rocks.

If it's in self defense it's perfectly understandable to hit them, I mean not if they aren't actually hurting you, if they are hitting you but it's not really hurting you then you shouldn't. You should just immobilize them. But anyway I know some pretty strong girls, some of them could kick my butt if they wanted too. So there should be a rule so that girls don't hit boys.

I mean really, there's special protection for almost all minorities(even though they aren't really minorities anymore since they are bigger groups than average joe). But there isn't a group protecting the regular male young adult. Really... come on, kids, old people, woman, and all other different groups have their protection we should have our protection group as well. That's a point we actually debated on class the other day. Because if the subject is equality then we aren't really equal... in many many ways

I have to say again that if you are not in real legitimate danger from said girl then you should never hit them. If they have a gun on you or something that is truly a danger to you then it is ok if that is the best possible option, but I usually find that those situations are few and far between. I guess you can call me old fashioned.

[shadow=red,left,300][glow=red,2,300]well, i was brought up with the rule "Don't hit girls.", but i was also tought "Don't be a push over". but basicly i dont hit girls, untill i get peed, then i do what mom says " beat the living **** out of them.[/glow][/shadow]

yeah, see, beating the living **** out of them is really wrong in my book. Maybe it's just cause my mom had a boyfriend that broke her nose, fractured her eye socket, and broke something in her cheek, all in once. I was around her after it happened, and It sucked. It just made me feel really bad, because face it, Now this is not being sexist at all for the record, it's just something I think. In alot of cases (i didn't say all, or most), guys can do more damage by hitting than a girl can. So, maybe it's just the way I feel but, beating the living crap out of them is just horrible. I haven't ever gotten into any major fights before, although I've been close, but it happens alot that I get close lol. But I can proudly say I have never seriously considered the Idea of wanting to punch any girl at all.

[shadow=red,left,300][glow=red,2,300]see, i said "do what my mom says", luckly i've never actuliy hit a girl. trust me, i'd have to be really pissed to hit a girl. and that never usu. happens.[/glow][/shadow]

The only reason people have these views is because they're pounded into our heads by society from an early age. If you would react differently to a girl hitting you than a guy of the same proportions then you need to work on thinking for yourself and not letting people brainwash you.

Double posting...what do you mean ;D

[sunspot]

Yeah men shouldn't hit us girls

[daevl]

This is missing the point of a debate totally, it's just people stating their position on the matter. It should be moved/deleted.

[leethal]

People react differently because it is different to be hit by a man or a woman. This, if we're talking about the common man/woman. If women get hit by men, they feel opressed, if they get hit by women they feel outraged. If men get hit by men , they feel insulted. If men get hit by women, they sometimes even feel flattered. We have a saying in my country that goes "the more you hit me the more i love you", or something similar.

[daevl]

You generalising, when someone hits me I feel like hitting them back, I don't feel insulted.

In my view, Women are fighting to become equals in the community. Let them be equals. They hit me, I hit them. Screw this sexism that is "politically correct".

[JediKaren]

The idea that man should not hit a women I believe originated in a time where women were considered weak, helpless, and senseless. It was wrong to hit a women because a women could not and should not fight back. It was under the same idea of picking on someone smaller and weaker than you. This idea came from a time when women had no power in her family, over her husband, could not and was not to support a family, and certainly was not to be a part of society.

Today, America's society, for I can't talk about any other country, we still half hold on to this idea. Women have started to realize they can be as strong as men, both physically and mentally. They have found out about martial arts. They have found out about tempers and their voices. They have won rights for democracy.

Since women have found this strength and want to use it, then I believe men have the right to fight back, seeing how women are becoming to be on the same level as men.
