POLL: Should a man ever hit a woman?

[Hayabusa Rider]

Generally, I don't hit people, but lets carry this to the logical extreme.

A woman is about to kill your toddler. You have just a moment. You either put her down, or let her kill your child.

That is what EVER means.

I would sorrowfully snap her neck if it were required, but sorrow would be for later.

if some mad b!tch came at me with a weapon i'd do what i felt best to ensure my safety

In pain you shall bring forth children;
Your desire shall be for your husband,
And he shall rule over you."

There used to be a law that stated that a many should'nt beat his wife with a switch that was larger than his thumb.

Wives require discipline. Today, physical discipline = jailtime.


Physical abuse is not longer tolerated by our society. If you hit a girl, get ready to go to jail. I hear jail sux.

Hence the term: Rule of thumb.


Movie quote taken from IMDB.com:
From Boondock Saints:
[During job training for Rosengurtie Baumgartener, an avid feminist]

Connor MacManus: the rule of thumb here is...

Rosengurtie: Rule of thumb? Wait, rule of thumb? In the early 1900's it was legal for men to beat their wives, so long as they used a stick no wider than their thumb.

Connor MacManus: Well, can't do much damage with that then can ya? maybe it should have been a rule of wrist.

 

[ski2slow]

Absolutely not! Yeah, I agree with others on shaking her very hard.

 

[y2kc]

not answering poll, too broad. In defense of my life I'll beat a chick unmercifully.

 

[conjur]

If a woman is trying to harm my kids or me, steal something from me, or about to cause harm to someone else, I'd take a whack at her.

Otherwise, if you mean, say, the cases of domestic violence that are all too common? Then hell no!

 

[Siddhartha]

What if she is hitting you or coming at you with a knife?

 

[StageLeft]

If she starts it, why not?

 

[Acanthus]

If shes coming at me with a knife or shooting at my arse, im gonna pop her one. Under normal circiumstances, no.

 

[Pepsi90919]

your poll sucks ass. add an option for self-defence.

 

[dmurray14]

hell no

 

[TheToOTaLL]

Wow, there are more "Yes" responses than I thought there would be.....

 

[Siddhartha]

What if she is hurting someone else?

 

[Amused]

If a woman comes at me with a weapon, she's getting decked.

Otherwise, no, I'd never hit a woman.

At any rate, I can't vote in this poll as there is no option for self defense or defense of others.

 

[BigKev]

No, but then again a woman should never hit a man.

 

[kenshorin]

I would never hit a man or a woman as the aggressor. Should they try to hit me, however, I will use reasonable force to repel their physical attack (reasonable force meaning I would use a level of force enough to repel their attack and no more than what they are attacking me with) and ensure the safety of myself, my family, or my friends.

So if it was a woman (to stay on topic) if she was trying to slap me, I would do something to prevent getting slapped, maybe grab her wrists. Her slapping me doesn't justify me belting her in the face. But if she's got a knife, she's raising the stakes... I will meet those stakes accordingly to ensure my health and well-being.

If its a man, and he slaps me (maybe he's a sissy) I am going to do whatever it takes to prevent getting slapped, I wouldn't up and belt a guy in the face for that. If he pulls a knife, my level of force will escalate accordingly... same as a woman.

Regardless of sex, I would meet any attack with reasonable force, as set by the aggressor. They make the bed, they're gunna sleep in it, man or woman. Hell if a DOG attacks me to maim me, if I get my hands on some stick or something its getting a whack over the head...

Call me an asshole if you will, but if someone is trying to kill me I don't care if they're male or female, I'll do what it takes to stop them.

Same here. The poll was too general.

 

[Tinkerhell]

NO!!!!

Actually in that case he should run like hell!

 

[michaelh20]

So what if you were going to be part of a elite squad that was going save the future of humanity and a nice looking woman shows up to blow you and all your friends away?
























A man shouldn't hit a woman, but neither shouldn't hit men at all, including slaps. I don't think men should pumble women that hit them (like slap), but neither should we tolerate women hitting us at all.

Like he'd never be cornered or protecting his kids?

Well if she's done it correctly I would send her some flowers the next day instead of hittting her

 

[TuxDave]

This poll needs to be rephrased. 'ever' is too strong of a word. If there was a women killing off my family, friends, pet, etc.... and was about to come after me next, I would so knock her out. (if possible). But in a general case "would I try my best to avoid hitting a women?" That would be yes.
