Why would you ever want to hit your girl ?
She cant hurt you, she isnt TRYING to hurt you either.
The “defending yourself” is a moot point, just restrain her if she does anything crazy like pulling a knife or something…
Men should never need to assert their dominance physically, it should NEVER be questioned.
Only weaker/small guys hit girls, because they have to actually prove to them that they are stronger.
If your a big guy, its never questioned, you never have to prove it, its assumed.
Physical dominance doesn’t make you “right” in an argument, so why bother to assert it ?
It should never be questioned, if it is, then its YOUR fault for not being large enough, and it is completely irrelevant in an argument.
The girl should always know your physically superior, but she also knows that doesn’t make you any smarter or more correct…so its not like it helps or hurts that situation…
Please. Some of you sound as if you have NEVER met or been out with a crazy woman.
Tip: There are women out there who WILL try to hit you and/or push every single possible button to get a response physically.
There are women who will pull a knife on you for no reason because you disagreed with them.
That is reality and pretending like women are all weak and defenseless in a society that (as we just discussed about crying RAPE when it didn’t happen at all) goes out of its way to protect the woman whether right or wrong in nearly all relationship situations is a little naive.
Obviously no one in their right mind should be FOR beating up women for no damn reason.
However, those of you acting like women can’t hurt a guy or that no matter what a woman does no man should retaliate physically must either be puppets of that same previously discussed corrupt social system…or you have never met a crazy woman before.
If we live in a just society, it should not be right for ANYONE to hit ANYONE ELSE. None the less, a woman could hit you across the head tonight with a frying pan and she might just get a standing ovation from other women if made public even if she did it for no reason.
If you were to have defended yourself by smacking the pan out of her hand which leaves a mark on her wrist, chances are, you will end up in jail that night.
There is clearly nothing wrong here, right?[/quote]
I have dated quite a few crazies, but none that were violent to the extent that you describe…perhaps you simply have a greater array of life experiences in that area.
One girl used to punch me in the face and chest quite often.
I didn’t really care. She just wanted to hit me because she was angry, she was quite secure in the fact that she wasn’t going to actually hurt me.
She never tried to hit me with anything metal or heavy, it was always her fist or elbow, she never tried to come at me with a weapon or kick me in the groin or anything that might actually cause damage.
Alot of women are very angry little buggers and are physically abusive, but in my experience they don’t really WANT to take it “too far”. Somewhere in the back of their mind they feel free to do it because they KNOW it isn’t going to actually do much of anything but sting.
Im not saying its right, but I personally don’t care, and they figure out pretty quickly I’m not going to do much of anything to stop them or retaliate.
Im not saying a woman is INCAPABLE of hurting me, sure they are, just I PERSONALLY have not dated one that LEGITIMATELY tried.
I dont have a problem restraining a girl as long as its pretty gently, grabbing her wrists, or wrapping my arms around and over her’s like a bear hug to hold her still.
I dont see that as violence, thats just like calming her down if shes getting out of hand. Its not threatening actual pain or damage, its simply a very “assertive hug”.
Perhaps its different elsewhere in the US, but I live in the deep south, this is Texas, in most areas…if you were to hit a girl in public, or even grab her wrists aggressively, most of the guys in the immediate area would come to her aid more or less immediately.
Its just a cultural thing, Your taught from birth that it is completely unacceptable under almost all situations.
