    Men like you think you're doing some fantastic deed by jumping to the defence of women like this. Why do some men walk around with this kind of mentality? You do realise they won't sleep with you after?

    There was a thread before where women agreed if a man gets hit, he can hit her back.
    Sleep with her after? No.

    I asked the same question on a forum full of Americans because I was surprised at the response here, and everyone said it's almost never OK. I guess we're more idealistic. And nope, a man can't hit a woman back out of spite like a bloody great 6-year old child.

    The only time it's acceptable for a man to hit a woman is when he has no other choice to prevent serious injury to himself or others.

    Wow, you're such a freethinker, it's not like we've not at all seen this reasoning anywhere else before. Very innovative. But I wonder, what does helping someone have to do with getting sex afterwards? I suppose it's limited to the universe of highly innovative, free thinkers such as yourself. It's not like someone would come to the aid of the woman unless she were to f*** him afterwards, is it?

    But anyway, I agree that someone who is "man enough" (lol) to throw a punch, should expect one back. What I don't agree with is this "white knight" b*ll**** going around the internet where the basis is sex and how you're not even (omg!!) going to get it if you happen to help a woman. Oh, well done, you figured that out, did you? And all on your own? Yeah I suppose I didn't expect my female friend to shag me when I helped her with her school work, either

    Obviously not. Women are weaker than men. I would restrain a woman who tried to hit me by holding her arms back.

    Yes, there are extreme examples like female wrestlers who may be stronger than me - but no woman I know is stronger than me. In the rare case that I did meet a woman who was stronger than me, I guess I would just have to not give her a reason to hit me.

    I hope that helps with your dilemma.

    In the majority of cases it's white knighting. The man trying to be the hero and impress the woman. It's pathetic.

    If you slap a woman in a night club there will be 20 hungry men trying to kick your head in and secretly they want to get with the woman.

    Sarcasm is the lowest form of wit by the way.

    It's not about "impressing the woman", I'd do the same if she was unattractive, old, or lesbian.

    Have you ever wondered why there would be 20 men trying to kick your head in? Your opinion is ridiculous. On another forum there's a guy arguing that cats are filthy creatures and if he catches them on his property he uses them to train his hunting dogs... a rather unpopular opinion, but one which seems completely natural and obvious to him.

    You are the outlier here, and while you may have your opinions, if you actually hit a woman for no good reason (in the eyes of others) you will be ostracized or end up in hospital.

    Are you stupid? I'm talking about retaliation not outright attacking them.

    Why does a woman who gets hit deserve more sympathy than a man? It's ridiculous.

    That's ridiculous. Why retaliate? You're not preventing any harm to yourself. In legal terms, you would have just committed assault.

    How about the case in which a guy got stabbed, so he pushed the stabber onto the ground. Then he kicked the stabber in the side a few times.

    Result? The push was acceptable to prevent further harm, but he got two years in jail for the unnecessary kicks.

    I don't care what the law says, I'm saying me hitting a woman back is no worse than her hitting me in the first place. Anyone who says it is, based on gender, should not be taken seriously.

    How long did it take you to muster up that intelligent response?

    Look, we both disagree with each other, but are you telling me if a woman hits a man, then he hits her back, the man is worse?

    The man wouldn't be worse, he would be just as bad. But it would be worse than hitting a guy back, and he shouldn't hit a woman back.

    If anything, a man would be expecting to be hit back, and a woman would not. Hitting a woman back would be far more psychologically damaging to her than to a guy.

    Most of my arguments are just culturally-based and so, perhaps, hold no water. That doesn't mean I won't follow them.

    If a woman hit me, I'd absolutely hit her back. Shouldn't go around hitting people if you can't take the consequences.

    The exception would be if a woman was clearly not in control of rational thought and wasn't consciously making a choice of her own volition, like if she'd been on drugs or had a mental condition. Then I might feel a bit sorry for her but if you make a conscious choice to smack me, you're getting smacked.

    "Oh, I'll just slap him, he can't do anything back to me as I'm a woman"

    I'd dust myself off and give her such a put down look she won't know what hit her.

    No, I would not...

    And if I saw a guy do it I would beat the living daylights out of him (and I wear steel toed boots and carry two knives )

    That is of course assuming the woman just slapped the guy or gave him a little punch and he belted her back, hard.
    Youre what's known as a whiteknight, the notoriously most pathetic kind of male of the Internet. What a joke.

    You're a joke. I don't see why you view the stereotypical "rushing to the aid of females in distress" as a bad thing. I'd do the same for a male, provided they weren't getting their comeuppance.

    I've seen some females who deserved slapping.

    I bet you're the kind of guy who would let a purse-snatcher run by, or watch a pickpocket steal someone's wallet whilst being too scared to say anything.

    What a joke.
