Would you hit a girl if she hit you first?

[EightySix Four]

hold down and restrain until help arrives FTW

 

[Smartazz]

Depends who is was, so crazy girl then yeah, you should hit her, but if she's ur gf or ur mom, then that's just messed up if you hit them back.

 

[JDrake]

I think the better question is:
Would you roundhouse kick a girl if she stood too close to you?

 

[arcenite]

I would avoid hitting as much as possible, my method of defense if possible is wresting someone to the ground so they get the point that i'm not taking their ******.

 

[BigCoolJesus]

I would never hit my G/F, mom or sisters.


But if i was in any situation (including this one) where i was assaulted with the full force of either a punch or kick, i would hit her back.
But i would not punch her above the waist. EVER. Not because im respectful, but because if it did go to court, there would be no clearly visible damage.

What i would do is kick her in the knee cap, only once.


So, yes i would hit back, but only a kick to the leg (a hard kick though, worthy of a blown ACL)

 

[LukeMan]

It would depend how hard she hit/kicked me, and it if hurt me. If she kicked me in the nuts I would kick her in her ass. If I hit her in the face then she can easily show her injuries in photos, but if I kick her in the ass then she would have to take a picture of her bruised butt, which would probably detur her from filing a law suit, maybe. If she did, then I would take a picture of my black/blue balls and file suit against her as well. Get a male judge and you win the case.

 

[Atlantean]

It would depend on the circumstances... and on how big of a bitch she was.

 

[LumbergTech]

It would depend on if I actually felt threatend by her..although some like to have the tough guy mentality there are some women who could beat most of you up..

Last time a girl did NOT hit me, but I gave it to her anyways...

At a restaurant, this guy and these two girls are sitting at a table. He makes some racial remarks and laughs about it. I don't give a damn about racial remarks as long as they are with friends, who I understand are joking)

Anyways, we ignore him (there are 4 of us guys), and a few minutes later, we ordered our food. What do you know, smart ass decides he's so cool to be in the presence of two girls that he makes a few more racial remarks (this is all to the girls, btw, but clearly he was loud enough so we can hear it equally).

Obviously, we tell him to watch his mouth. He, of course, shuts up. However, a few minutes later, he gets his takeout food (aparently, he's to cheap to eat in and tip, I presume) and pays for it and again, does the same thing, makes a few more racial remarks. My friend gets up and says something to the tune of, "Hey, that's not very polite, keep it to yourself". Unfortunately, my friend did not say it in such a friendly manner, and the guy lunges at us.

We are all by the door, by the way, and my friends litterly grab the guy outside and does a few numbers on him. I obviously, try to go out to lend a hand, however, one of the girls decide she can stop me somehow by grabbing my hair (I have a long pony tail). I elbowed her like there was no tomorrow. It was probably like 5 or 6 times, directly to the chest. Her head must have hit my shoulder so hard because it was bruised the next day.

Outside, one of my friends, is pretty big in weightlifting, knocks him to the ground. He tries to get up and again, he does a punch to his face. Ouch! I heard his skull hit the ground that time! I don't know how, but there was a chair outside somehow, probably by one of the other guys, and I grab it and slam it on the guy's head when he tried to get back up.

Anyways, one of the girls had a knife and pulled it out, threatening us. We all stood around and asked her what she was going to do with it. Knowing damn well it was useless, she puts it away. Somehow, as if this was a movie, the guy on the floor gets up, falls against the car next to him, and the girls wisk him away.


Hell yeah, I would whip a girls' ass.

 

[SampSon]

Yes, and then I'd press charges for assult.

 

[aigomorla]

omg, i cant believe this kind of poll even exists. Sorry to say, i would never hit a girl. Regardless of how hard she hit me, just taking mass in respect, its not even an excuse if she hit me first. The only exception would be if i was ever held at gun point by one or she pulled a knife on me to even the playing grounds.

Stupid guys that think its okey to hit a girl are just adding to the violence. If you get hit by a girl, its far better to just shake it off and then find other ways to get back at her. If you have any doubts, just compare your first to that of a girl.

PS. I know this comment is going to draw comments on, what if the girl is like 300lbs and is 2x bigger then me, well first off you must of done something to piss that girl off so hence u deserved it.

 

[ribbon13]

I know a woman who would kick a lot of men's asses in this thread. The concept of men not hitting women just because thier women pisses her off. I've gotten into full blown fist fights with this chick. I lost

Talk about blowing things WAY out of proportion! You've now made this into a full-blown attack. Sounds as though it would be just a single kick (most likely a knee, considering the limited space for much else), and here you are talking about subduing the attacker and "putting her down" and making a massive event out of this. No offence, but what in the hell is wrong with you?

Ever gotten hit in the nuts before? Obviously not.

So striking her will make one's nuts feel better? Oh, I see...
This guy should later examine how he got involved with a girl that would hit him in the first place... Might make for wiser future decisions. Women don't usually just suddenly start hitting.

The crazy ones do.

[Cawchy87]

Depends on girl. I know some of my friends would expect it back. Others would go round up every friend they have to beat the crap out of me.

I can't help but laugh.

 

[Phlargo]

I used to always "threaten" my girlfriends that if they hit me, it would be fair game for me to hit them back, just as hard. Fortunately, it was usually playing and I usually only said it to get them to recognize that they were using hitting as a form of friendly interaction. It seemed to work pretty well though in getting them to stop.

 

[SonicIce]

someone really needs to define "hit"

 

[nemesismk2]

No I wouldn't hit a woman, it seems that I was brought up better than atleast 50% of Anandtech members who voted yes. :disgust:

To all of you who voted yes they would hit a woman, you had better hope there isn't someone like me around when you do because I would smash your face in! :|

 

[letdown427]

I wouldn't hit a woman. However, huge 300lb fat b1tches I don't class as women, so they're up for some retaliation, however futile it'd be with collapsed nuts.

 

[DAPUNISHER]

If I can't block it, duck it, or get out of the way of it, I deserve to get hit.

Well, given that, what if for some reason you got into an argument with a woman. For this threads sake, lets assume it was at a theater and you're fighting over a seat or something silly. She kicks you in the family jewels for no apparent reason. If you had the strength to, would you hit her back?

I would.

Considering how our society would react, most any man would get screwed in court. Even if the woman had no right to kick him. So I would NOT hit her, but call the cops and make damn sure I had witnesses. Then I'd go to the hospital to get checked out, and sue her for payment of bills, and pain and suffering. That would probably hurt a lot more than a black eye.

So if some psychotic woman just ran up to you and started punching you and kicking you, maybe hitting you with a baseball bat, or whatever... what would you do? And on that note, if you saw this happening to another person, and they stopped the crazy woman by restraining her or knocking her down, you would rush them and "smash their face in" and allow the crazy woman to just go nuts because she was born female?

I don't see the reasoning. If you're in danger, you should be able to defend yourself - it doesn't matter if the offender is man or woman.

 

[Mardeth]

Id hit it.
