is it acceptable to strike a woman back if she hits you

Iif Katie Taylor strikes you first, feel free to strike back, if you want to end up spitting out teeth and partaking of some emergency dentistry.

If a woman hits you first then I believe that you have a right to defend yourself and hit her back.

Of course no one should go around hitting others and a man that hits a woman because it make him feel tough is a scumbag and deserves whatever he gets, but if someone hits you first then no matter if they are a man or woman you should defend yourself.

If a man were to hit a woman first
then I would totally support the woman defending herself and hitting him back.

And I don't think that a woman should be coddled and not have to face the consequences of her actions in hitting someone.

One of my lecturers in uni is an ardent feminist but she has a total double standard. She once said that under no circumstances should a man hit a woman, even if she hits him. But isn't feminism about achieving equality in every aspect of life. So with that in mind if a woman hits a man first then he should be able to hit her back.

That was maybe a little long winded but that is my opinion.

I know that some people will think I'm a piece of shit for saying that but there it is.

And I am not going to just go along with what everyone else says and say that it would be totally unacceptable under any circumstances. I would be a coward if I did not stand up for my views.

What a ridiculous statement.
What about the difference in physicality ( in general) ?
Its not about women being coddled..ive been punched had knives thrown at me etc and never resulted to hitting back...most guys are well capable of restraining a woman without violence.

There is no general answer to this.

Some slapper tries to mug me and hits me, I'll knock her out.
Some silly cow slaps my face, I'll walk away.

Two wrong don't make a right, and women shouldn't hit men

is it acceptable to strike a woman back if she hits you

How did this question come about?
Maybe in extreme situation - such as defending yourself if you are attacked by a female killer with a huge knife and there is no other way?

but in normal life scenario rather calm her down and give her a hug.

[dave028]

You have the right to defend yourself regardless of gender.I dont know why people dont ask why it would be acceptable for a woman to hit a man? How about we start considering it unacceptable for people to hit each other regardless of gender.

Tbh I think it's quite sexist to say the physical differences are too big/it's not right to fight back. Women are plenty capable of physical abuse/violence/dominating men..

Tho the last fight I was in was probably when I was like 9 or 10..
