That’s what I taught my son. If someone attacks him, man or woman, and not a slap in the face, but with intent to do grievous bodily harm, use full force to protect himself.
I agree. Although the author is right that men, typically being stronger, cannot hit a woman as readily, nonetheless the same basic rule applies: If someone is hurting you (or clearly is about to hurt you), do what is reasonably necessary to stop it. Sometimes, unfortunately, it means hitting the other person.
If you are being hurt by a girl, there are [usually] ways of stopping it without hurting back.
I’m so glad that we agree, because my point was simply to agree with someone who posted “never say never.” Usually isn’t always.
Pelvis and skull bone structure, mainly.
Can you roll the tape back where I said it was OK?
Yet you only castigate the man for seeking to defend himself.
The kinda of ‘girls’ who hit other people typically aren’t ladies. Aside from their own self defense of course.
Some women can be evil and brutal. They don’t deserve any special consideration.
I have to disagree. When a girl hits you it is appropriate to hit her back.
I can fight as good or better than most men I dated before marriage. I am not abusive and don’t like to fight, but if I were of that aggressive mentality, a man would be nuts not to fight me in self protection.
I had an aunt (she’s dead now, bless her heart) - a drunk - who used to beat up her husband regularly. When I figured why Uncle Jimmy was always bruised on his legs, arms and face, I cried. Divorce was not a realized notion or option in those days.
Yes, if a girl hits you, hit her back. Don’t put all your power into it if it is not necessary to get the point across.
