Saw Die Hard 4 a couple of nights ago. It featured a woman who was trained in martial arts or something akin to that, a trained fighter/assassin. Our lovable rogue John McClane had to fight her as if she was a man otherwise she probably would've killed him.
I think in circumstances where a man's life is seriously threatened (i.e. bigger/stronger/wielding a weapon + intent) it would be warranted, of course. One has to do whats necessary to survive.
Anything less than that, no.
There are men that believe, misguidedly, that to dominate physically (or indeed mentally/emotionally/financially, etc) is a demonstration of their manly prowess but, in fact, shows a very weak person, controlled by his own anger rather than in total control of his emotions.
rohaan: 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
I agree with you. You can't pick the circumstances. Most things happen in a flash! Many years ago I was out dancing with my girlfriend and this guy kept bumping us intentionally on the dance floor. I told him to stop bumping us. He ignored what I said and did it again a couple of times more. I stopped dancing and picked this guy up and threw him across the dance flr. He got up and came at me and I dropped him in his tracks with one punch. His girlfriend came at me with a spiked heel of her shoe. I caught her arm before she could plant that heel in my head. I warned her that she back off or she would be laying next to her boyfriend on the flr. She did and that stopped everything. So when a person is in a public place, I think you should always be aware of what is going on around you! It may save your life!
montemonte: Buttercup, you don't need to be a mind reader when you read my comments. Now I know you're just trying to rattle me Okay I'm rattled but when I'm done jumping up and down on you you will look like this ------>
NAKEDMUDPEOPLE: I was quoting no one, only stating my opinion to the poll question.
Hi Mud.....I think you must have been quoting someone cause you said "She assaulted you" which sounds like it's in response to someone saying they were hit
Whoops, the OP stated he was hit with a bottle by the other guys girlfriend.

ooby_dooby: I got into a brawl with 2 guys one New Years Eve. It was all a big mistake. Anyway, I decided to go after the bigger guy and get him out of the way then kick the seeds out of the smaller one. I got the big guy on the floor where I was at home and had him in a headlock getting ready do a number on his face when he dug his nails into my face like a woman. I had to let him go when he grabbed my hair and started to drag me out of the apartment. I figured he had to let my hair go sooner or later and when he did I was ready to deliver a goodnight right hook. I felt his grip release my hair and I sprung up hauled back and let a sunday punch fly right at his face. That punch was all the strength I had cause I knew it was my only shot. Right at that moment his gf jumped in between us and that haymaker landed on her cheekbone. She dropped like a sack of potatoes. Damn! Now this guy is gonna be pissed because I just knocked out his gf. I figured my best bet was to get the hell out of there so I made for the door and after a little more scuffling outside we were both too tired to go on. That was the only time I ever hit a woman and it was an accident.
hahahaha sorry for
I think the way you tell this story is quite hilarious ooby but I bet actually being there wasn't much fun @ the time
Awwwwww don't ya jus lurrrrrrve how well & N Y's Eve make a gr8 pair up!
LonelyMontse08: 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.
I believe you and I’d much prefer to watch your athletic abilities performing the Chacha.
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.
I don't like violence full stop, but if a woman hit me over the with a bottle and was coming at me again and I had to defend my self yep I would hit her.
