When Hitting A Woman Is Acceptable. (1 Viewer)

[Politician Spock]

No I am asking, it is weird your line is drawn by age and not gender or physical traits (the ability to defend yourself)

I think you are confused as to who the defender is.

No, you are crossing over. If someone calls you a name or spits at you and you hit them you aren't defending yourself. You have went to another level, and went on the attack.

Does it apply to girly men.  I mean if Justin Beiber were being a ##### to my face, and then he tried to scratch my eyes out can I knock his ### into next week, or does ne get some sort of protection? (Body guards are out of the equation, say off getting him some manpons.)

Again, you keep going back to where the line is drawn, which I have no issue with, as long as one doesn't draw different lines for different sexes.

I agree with this statement, except for the verb choice.

What if the woman was born a man and finished transitioning a week ago? What if she transitioned 10 years ago? When can I unleash my fierce uppercut?

Lol....what a load of crap.  Women are inferior to men physically...that's just the way it is.

If I punched a woman I would break her jaw if not worse.

I disagree. Rhonda Rousey would kick both our asses.

Criminal assault isn't a felony. 

the use of reasonable force to protect oneself or members of the family from bodily harm from the attack of an aggressor, if the defender has reason to believe he/she/they is/are in danger. The definition of self defense. 

Care to try again?

Law student or Googler?

Oh, so now you're just a misogynist?  You can't say that around here or anywhere for that matter.  Better be ready for protests and social shaming.

I'm not proud to say this, but I did backhand my first wife when she came at me with a knife while I was holding our 2 yr old daughter.

Another story for another lifetime.  I do regret it though as I feel maybe I could have done something else but it was a quick reaction.

For the record a woman coming at me with words or saliva does not bother me.

Coming at you with a knife is a deadly situation. You would have been justified in killing her in self defense, by law.

That you only backhanded her is a tribute to you. Don't feel any remorse, at all.

No, she wouldn't. We've covered this already

Sometimes it's better to ask for forgiveness than permission.

Has Bruce Jenner now gained the protection of this no hitting rule?

Depends on which head you're trying to punch.

Agree with this 100 percent. Not only were you protecting yourself, but you were protecting your child.

Thanks and I do feel justified in that sense but this is one of those things that just makes you feel lousy when you do it.

have you seen her throw a punch?

 

[Zow]

She called him a derogatory name only which does not deserve the slap.  Only spitting on someone in my book warrants that.

To be fair, or at least to put this in the appropriate context, she called him what is very most likely the worst name.  She's a bigoted, vile, racist who should be publicly ridiculed.

But, hitting her is still "wrong" here.  Same with hitting a woman if she spits on you (an insult I'd actually find less "bad" than calling a black person the N-word).

No... just stop...

I'm not saying it was right, but I understand.

only time i ever hit a girl was when i was about 11 years old. this redhead in my apartment complex was teasing me because i leaving during a neighborhood wiffleball game. we were getting killed by the opposing team - hers - and it was time for me to go home for dinner. she was teasing me and it got to me for whatever reason. i had never hit anyone aside from my older brother but i swung at her. my fist hit the side of her head and left ear. it was an almost comically lame attempt but i struck her. we all stood silent as a group, acknowledging the gravity of the situation, before my brother showed up telling me it was time to go inside. the redhead (Leigh) worked up some tears and told him that i hit her. she convinced him that the right thing to do was to hit me back. he had another boy hold my arms while he punched me in the stomach a few times. 

as an adult, i'm not sure that hitting a woman - or anyone really - is called for unless it is under extreme circumstances.

 

Sorry, I don't mean to outright laugh at what may have been a bad childhood memory, but I find "kid justice" to be fascinating and entertaining.  Because, honestly, it seems to often make the most sense in a given situation.

Very true.

First routine i remember from Rock back in the 80s was "You know the difference between men & women? We can knock you the #### out. For all women's progress and equality and, in many ways, just plain superiority, the fact remains - Barney Fife can beat the livin' #### out of your greatest champion". Don't think he does that bit anymore

If you spit on someone, you deserve a whole lot worse than a slap. 

 

[EYLive]

What's worse: spitting on someone or pissing on someone?
