is there EVER a good enough reason for a man to hit a women???? (305)

I compiled the test.

i admit, haven't read the whole thread...
i am wondering why the choice is to hit a woman if she is hitting you,as mentioned in some of the posts.
i have worked with specials needs students in the past who were much larger than me. they would try to hit us sometimes. we were taught to restrain them, not hit them back..
i know it's not the same.
but why would a man choose to hit a woman, rather than restrain her?

and no..
i do not think there is ever a time to hit a woman (anyone for that matter), but that the choice may be to walk away.

I've followed this a good share of this thread and still feel that if a woman chooses to hit a man then he should have the right to hit her back.


I wonder what some of the answers would've been if a woman would've asked the OQ.

This thread has struck a chord with me. I didn't want to post right away because I wanted to wait for a while and see what people's different views are on this...and there are quite a few different views.
I myself was beaten up by a guy, an ex of mine and it was an unprevoked attack. I was walking into town when he came up from behind me, put his arm around my throat from behind, tripped me to the ground, and as I hit the ground he kicked me on the head three times and I then went unconcious. He called my severley mentally and physically disabled brother a "spastic" and a "cripple" because my brother cannot walk, talk or hear!

Why am I telling you this I hear you ask.....
I am telling you this because I took that b%%%%%% to the dry cleaners not because of what he did to me but because of what he called my brother. No one and I mean no one will ever, in my life for as long as I am able to stand, will ever, get away with calling my brother a cripple and a spastic, NO ONE!
The police took him to court for what the weasel did to me but I was more worried about what he called my brother. I didn't care about him hitting me. I wanted him dealt with for calling my brother the names he called him.
In the end, the case was taken to court and I won....and I came out of that court case with my head held high. He pleaded not guilty and said that I was at fault....how come???? it was him that was guilty. he left me lying there and only for the staff at the chip shop god only knows what would've happened to me. the cctv caught all the evidence and the girl that saw the whole thing turned up in court and because of this he had to change his plea from not guilty to guilty! she said she never saw anything as vicious in all of her life.

Because of this.....I am very weary now and I am petrified of being out on my own in the town and scared if someone was behind me up close. My heart races and I panic.

Men should not women full stop. It is not acceptable. And any man that hits a woman is nothing but a coward, full stop. The guy that hit me also hit his own mother, a 75 year old woman, pushed her to the ground and knocked her flying out of his way.


And this only happened to me in 2008. I'm still recovering, however, I am getting there because there is no way I'd let that
b%%%%%% put me of my feet.

I forgot to mention......he called my brother a spastic and a cripple. A few months after I moved house....I saw his mother on a walking stick LOL....after him calling my severly disabled brother a spastic and a cripple!!!!! Karma speaks!!!!!! and action is louder than words!!!!!!!
