Hitting a Female?

[KillerGremlin]

I think MMA fighters and other professional athletes have some sort of clause in their contract stating that they won't beat the shit out of people because it could be fatal. Don't quote me on that.

I also want to point out that slapping and punching are two different things.

At the core, the real issue here isn't hitting girls. It's the skewed view society has regarding a situation where a female being hit might be justified. It puts males in a compromising situation where they might face exaggerated consequences.

The question stated: Is it ok for a man to hit a woman. No. Whether a woman is entitled to hit a man is another question and I would say no, they don't. But their bad behavior does not excuse your bad behavior.

If you want to talk about ridiculous extremes, then yes there would hypothetical cases where I think a man can be excused for hitting a woman, but that would be a case where its a very slight man and an incredibly strong and violent woman. I imagine these cases are extremely rare.

To use your second video example, the Indian gentleman performed badly and should have had the shit kicked out of him. He was not in any kind of real danger, and should have simply walked away and acted like a MAN. If she continued, he could have easily restrained her. Instead, he acted like a immature boy and hit her back far harder than she hit him.

If you are trained in martial arts and you were to injure a non trained fighter, were this to go to court you could be considered as a "legal weapon".

On the note of hitting a girl, or anybody for that matter, I believe if you are able to overpower a person you should do so. But I wouldnt be all like "I dont hit girls!" and let myself be stabbed, I would do whatever the situation demands.
