Did your Dad use to beat the crap out of your mother when dinner wasn't on time? This kind of behavior is learned and usually children from abusive enviroments end up being abusive losers themselves!

nope, i just believe in equality

and i really don't like being hit, whoever does it

I had an ex-girlfriend who use to constantly punch me for no reason. I finally told her that if she ever hit me again, she would not see me for 3 weeks. Well, she hit me.... And sure enough, it was about 3 weeks before she could see me out of the black eye I gave her)

A man should never hit his girlfriend/wife. There is no excuse for any argument to escalate into violence. However, I have no problem taking down a woman who poses an imminent physical threat to me or someone I love.

Are you saying you wouldn't defend yourself, by hitting back if neccesary, if a woman attacks you or someone you care about? I'm not saying it's okay to hit a woman who isn't my girlfriend/wife just because I feel like it. Is that what you thought I meant? I don't see how you can come to that conclusion.

If you want to get technical then women should be treated as equals to us. So swing away Merril. If you don't swing then the Women's Lib Movement was for naught.

 

[Hammer]

under any circumstances? what if a woman robbed you in the street at gunpoint? would you think it was not ok to hit her there?

 

[GasX]

If I don't get my beer withing 30 seconds of asking for it...

Equality baby!

Fortunately I'm not in the habit of hitting people. Violence is rarely the best option.

I hit girls a long time ago, during martial arts sparring. I would have felt very sexist if I had refused to spar with them.

Hypothetically, if Layla Ali took a swing at me, I wouldn't hit back. I would run (if I was still conscious at the time).

Its taught, yes. However life isn't always peaches n' cream.

Its survival of the fit baby!

If you run, you're only going to die tired.

I think the original statement should be modified into just "i have no problem taking down a woman who poses an imminent physical thread to me or someone I love." Imminent physical threat, when applied to a woman, does not mean she's swinging at you or trying to kick you. If anyone, whether it be my sister, my mom, my daughter, my teacher, my girlfriend, my wife, tries to permanently injure or kill me, then gender is thrown out the window and it's just fighting for life.

i cant think of anytime it would be too appropriate to hit anyone. if i was in serious danger or something, im sure i would react instinctually...but...in general, i see no reason to strike a woman or anyone else.

edit:
i just realized that this may go without saying but
obviously, consensual "beating" is something i adamantly condone.

 

[yukichigai]

I am a firm believer in women's equality. As such I will hit a woman in any situation where I would hit a man. If you want equality you get all of it, not just the nice parts.

That being said I can't really think of a situation where I'd actually hit anyone, barring self defense or the defense of others.

thats pretty much how i feel about it. but i cant see myself getting into too many of either situations.

I guess times have changed...

What caused this change? Maybe RAP MUSIC and Hollywood can be blamed for some of this....

When I was growing up these answers would have been more like 95% NO and 5% yes.

You must be a skinny little boy then... Do you not realize that you have muscles that are genetically superior to those of a woman? They are that way so you could protect your family - NOT beat them...

chauvinist

n 1: a person with a prejudiced belief in the superiority of his or her own kind.

My views were chauvinistic? Why?

Chauvinistic may have been an incorrect word to use.

You're so convinced that times were different, that women are somehow deserving of special treatment as to treat them as inferiors. As someone who's been hit by a woman before, trust me, there's little difference between a woman or a man punching you in the face or gut.

Yeah, rap music and hollywood are to blame for it.

Maybe Microsoft and the RIAA had something to do with it too.
