Can a boy hit a girl?

[BigtimeRyan]

Depends, if they are like small and nice and sweet, then no!
If they are like big and mean then YES

[Daltron]

yep in self defence

[Southe,]

To much of a gentleman to hit a woman, but i agree if they deserve it then they should expect it, just as i would say about a guy.

I don't like the idea that it is unacceptable for males to hit females because it sort of carries an implication that male on male/female on male/female on female hitting is okay.

I think violence and hitting people is totally stupid unless you're acting out of self defence or protecting someone else, obviously. I don't think I will ever understand the mentality that you have to punch someone in the face to make a point.

Also do women, who I'm gonna assume generally believe in gender equality, like being treated as some kind of inferior species to men and thus need special rules to be made for them?

[Cassiieee]

I wouldn't let them get away with it >;]

[!x!dude!x!2]

I think it should be ok, seeing a girl can hit a boy but the boy can't hit the girl
but in my school and people i know they go by a 3 hit rule. so once the hits them 3 times they are allowed to hit her back in self defense

[GommeInc]

Just as a hobby or for some other reason? Generally no, unless for self-defence. Not for the giggles.

[karter]

if you're being a jerk and the girl hits you and you hit her back you're the biggest dickwad on the planet

idk about you but i'll never hit a girl unless in extreme circumstances

[Chug!]

It's only ok to hit a girl if they hit you first, and when i say hit, i don't mean a little tap or even a slap or punch on the arm. I mean a proper whack round the face or in your crotch. somewhere that could permanently damage your sight, brain, hearing, or other natural body organs/functions.

Self defence yes.
For the ***** of it, no.

I don't think anybody in a relationship should hit the other - domestic violence is wrong.
However, not long ago I saw a YouTube clip where a woman actually beat a man and he got so much **** for hitting her back - granted he did KO her, BUT she was full on hitting him, fists and kicks.

Rule of thumb, if you can punch like a man, take it like a man. Fair?
