As a woman myself, yes. If I was the woman genuinely attacking a man, I wouldn’t be particularly surprised if he defended himself and hit me in response.
Yes
No, but I wouldn't hit a man back in self-defense either.
Probably no actually



I understand that equality = men can hit women, women can hit men


But tbh I don't know any women who could probably genuinely hurt me physically with her hands.

Maybe if she was armed I would hit back, but otherwise, I'm just gonna walk off from the situation and let her cool down/call police.


im not a simp tho
Yes. Why wouldn't I?
Yes, just don't hurt the woman too much or else you can be viewed as guilty and possibly given a bad punishment, like a fine or a short sentence to jail.

Use defense that's proportionate to the offense. I.e if you're able to restrain the woman then do so without trying to cause damage. However if you're being attacked with a hammer then no one can blame you for acting with sufficient force to protect yourself.
*shrug* If withdrawing wasn't realistic.
Oh great - women who are enamoured by their own oppression and dehumanisation thinks it’s ok for a man to hit them. Your lorry load of male approval is on its way 👏

What are they supposed to do? Just stand there and take it?
Yes he can and I wouldn't blame him if he did.

Yes, I believe if I hit ANYONE, they have the right to defend themselves, including hitting me back if that’s what they choose to do. I don’t believe it’s alright for a man to just come up and hit a woman unprovoked, the same as I don’t believe it’s okay for a woman to do the same to a man. So, do the female population a favour and shove your lorry where the sun don’t shine sweet heart x
Yes.
I'm female and would defend myself or my property from a female thug/criminal/lunatic.
I'd do the same to any man that violently attacked me and would expect any man to defend himself against me if I attacking him first.

Pathetic. Do you know how ridiculous you sound.

Are you a pacifist? :confused:

I'd slap her rather than punch.
