2SHORT: ok,its my first poll an i wanted to ask a question that really puts peoples values up against peoples sense of fair game. Like 2yr ago i was in a brawl with a guy,and as i started to get the better of him his girl hit me over the head with a bottle.Glass stuck in the back of my head,i was a bloody mess.Im almost positive at the time i would of put her to sleep if the bouncers hadnt got to me when they did....(A LITTLE ASHAMED OF THAT BUT I CANT DENY IT).Id forgot about it untill i bumped into her on my way to a friends today..It made me recall it.*ESPECIALLY INTRESTED IN WHAT WOMEN THINK*AND THE AGES OF PEOPLE VOTING.
Pryda: It is a tricky one..i think if she continues to hit you then defend yourself surely. But you have got to think about how you would feel after if you just knocked her out..you probably would not feel great about it...and if you chose not to hit her you could walk away with some dignity and sense of your are the better person.
Anybody hitting anybody else is wrong, whatever the gender. I do support having to defend oneself, and sometimes it happens that the assaulter is a woman. People always say how a certain thing should be, as in the folks who say "Never"; but anyone who has a clue how Life really goes at times knows that you can't really say what you'd do if the circumstances were awry. Saying that a man should just "not hang out there", or "choose friends differently" is weak. Our lives throw many things at us we don't see coming, and often a choice to defend ourselves or take the lesser of two evils demands it. JMO

If you hit someone,man or woman,expect to get hit back. If you don't want to get hit then keep your dang hands to yourself. Just because someone is a man doesn't mean he is your personal punching bag.

In self-defense, yes. Why not. There are some bad women out there, in every sense of the word (check out a prison or the military sometime).
I don't think a man should take a flat hand slap in the face either. An assault is an assault, either way you twist it. So even in that case, he would be justified to slap her back, open hand.
In other situations, i.e. domestic violence I'd say no because we're talking criminal and dysfunctional behavior. In a case like that, the potential to cause serious harm or death is too great, so I'd say walk away and call the cops and let them take her away.

there is more domestic violence going on than we realise and some of that is the men getting beaten around by the women,,, if a woman hits a guy im sorry but expect to be hit back!!!! women will only hit men they know wont hit back or cant hit back. it also works visa versa too.
there are more women in clubs now doing the fighting, bottles etc its crazy.
i dont think anyone should hit anyone, but thats a perfect world
im sorry but throw a punch like a man... take a punch like a man
I don't think getting physical is the answer to any problem. I strongly disapprove of any man striking a woman, he is much stronger and I believe it is morally incorrect in my opinion.
Even though am against violence, especially towards women, when extreme conditions occur what can you do? Once a girlfriend of mine tried to wake me up by shaking me really strongly, out of reflex with my eyes closed i threw one punch that broke her lip but it ended well- after the first shock we both had a laugh about it. Another time when i was 16 i wanted to hit one named Miria that punched me in the middle of the chest and i couldnt breath- a friend of mine slapped her and when i found me breath i managed to give a black eye to her idiot boyfriend.

putting words in my mouth is not gentlemanly. didn't say someone else should fight another's battles (although over a lifetime that can happen among friends)...but a little assistance - like bonking an obnoxious troublemaker in a bar fight with a bottle can be called chipping in with a bit of assistance. I see nothing wrong with that. you certainly don't have to agree
I dislike fighting I've seen cases in which the woman has hit the man first and he has responded hitting her, not even like that I agree, a man NEVER has to hit a woman no matter what, now on the case you're describing me, the only reason I would learn kicking techniques would be to compete as an athlete and well in that case I would have to kick and get kicked but out of the case you wrote me I woudnt fight and I dont ever.
Its only something a coward would do - real men don't hit woman - under any circumstances. And I don't know anybody who likes a coward. Obviously sport is another issue, so nobody needs to be pedantic, but under normal circumstances......dont be stupid.
rohaan: Hi monte--I'm afraid I notice this sort of thing quite a bit. Why can't people really 'read' what is being said, instead of just jumping in there without thinking it out. .
