Is it right to hit a woman?

[Kent]

if they're not in the kitchen or cleaning then a good backhand is essential!

[Ramones]

Of course I wouldn't unless I could reasonably rely on a defence such as provocation. .

haha would you really think about your a level law lessons when in a situation like that? If you do i think it denies the whole purpose of provocation and makes it pre-meditated!

[Barmi]

It is no more right for a man to hit a woman than it is for a woman to hit a man. All of this gentleman/chivalry stuff is irrelevant crap. Yes, most people expect men to show a higher degree of restraint... but it's crap nonetheless.

Actually you're right, I wouldn't. Pre-meditation would be irrelevant, because I would not rely on a defence of provocation unless I was facing a murder conviction. Why? I would be laughed at if I did.

No, I didn't study any criminal law at A-level. Thank you for bringing up the mistake. Keeping terminology separate is difficult at times... and mistakes happen.

No, I didn't study any criminal law at A-level. Thank you for questioning my lapse, even though a different technicality is first evident. I would have felt like a right numpty letting that sit there.

You are a little harsh killing girls who slap you yeah.

Just a little!

(But by the looks of Rihanna when she was beaten up, I think someone failed at trying to kill her.)

[Disaronno]

Yes.

If a bloke A hit bloke B and bloke B hits back, it is fine, if a woman hits a woman it is fine, if a woman hits a man it "must be bad" cos she done that but if a man hits a woman "what a ******, hitting a woman"

If they deserve a punch, yes.

If they come at you with a blade or a plate lol or a weapon then deff yes.

If they hit you, yes (not punch more slap)

If a girl kept lamping you then yes a punch

It is obviously wrong for anyone to hit anyone.

And a woman attacking a man is as serious as a man hitting woman. There should be gender equality that many women believe they don't have.

But domestic violence figures that show 1/6 victims are men and 30 men a year are killed by their wives, so lets not think this is a one-way thing like many people believe.

I personally wouldn't hit a girl back because, generally, they are weaker than men (although i've met a few girls who are more manly than me), unless i was unable to restrain them or if they were trying to hit me with a blunt object (like a rolling pin) and i couldn't get away (say like a woman was hitting me with a frying pan and i was up against the wall and couldn't get away - that's self-defense.

[culturist]

yes, yes and yes...
why shouldn't we be able to?

[lisar]

Any man who hits me would only get a whack back.
So, if I am able to hit him back for hitting me, then sure. Let him hit me if I hit him first.

However, if it wasn't called for, then yes, I will call the feds. I don't care how 'sorry' he is.

I only agree with men hitting women if there's a necessary reason. Or the woman hit them first.

Dinner not being on the table, being drunk, ridiculous excuses aren't tolerable in my book.

[[DC]eption]

Fighting in general is ********. But if a women started on me i would never consider hitting her. Where as a man i wouldn't hesitate.
