Rules of fighting: girls?

then I guess no football. or wrestling. or boxing.

 

you'd be surprised how strong some women can be

 

I did say generally, and you said some, so we both pretty much agreed.

 

If a woman hits me in the balls or repeatedly in the face, she will more than likely get hit back unless she's preggos. Though violence isn't something I'm prone to cause.

 

fine

in my opinion people shouldn't be hitting each other out of anger or hurt or revenge etc

 

I don't think that violence is an acceptable outlet for anger, that being said I have proboly seen more then my fair share. The reality is that pound for pound men have more mucle mass then women, and men are generally bigger then women so it would rarely be a fair fight. I was once at a party and witnessed a young woman, who was maby 150+ lbs, repeatedly push, punch, slap,kick and insualt a friend of mine who is 6'2" and easily 250lbs. To make matters worse he was drunk. Several of her friends and mine warned her to stop "pokeing the bear" but she kept going after him. He eventually lost patience and hit her once. The punch literally broke her face, and she was admited to the hospital. There is a moral in there somewhere.

 

lol awww and dont blame her...shes probably hormonal

 

ill be honest...i wouldnt mind a good fight with a jerk guy. It happened...he got a few hits, i got a few hits then we shook on it

 

Of course I'm not going to question it. There are great values being lost in our generation of males. I just think it's WRONG that a man hits a woman no matter the circumstances.
It ISN'T sexist because I never said a woman can hit a man. I just answered the OQ.
I don't think it's ok that anyone walks around hitting anyone else. If you wanted an answer to the question 'Should any sex hit the other sex' then that's the question you should have asked.

 

sports are out of revenge?

 

i plan on teaching my son (if one day i have one) that its not ok to hit a woman unless its in self defense. if you're getting attacked, no matter by man or woman, fight back. i dont think i'd want my son to just stand there and "take it like a man" if his girlfriend got upset and started hitting him

 

I have the view that should I ever hit a man, he has every right to hit me back and I'd expect it. However, I think all domestic violence is disgusting regardless of who hits who and who hits who first. I will may retaliate should I end up in such a horrible situation, but I wouldn't be the one starting it.

My boyfriend has the view that he would never hit a woman, regardless of if she hit him first. He says he'd do everything in his power to restrain her and would walk away, but (for example) could do a lot more damage to me than I could to him.

Without being placed in the situation though, who really knows exactly how they'll act? I like to think that if a man hits me I'd smack him back. I'd have every right to. But since he may be a whole lot bigger and powerful, maybe I'd be a cowering wreck. Maybe I'd be a cowering wreck even if he was a tiny wretch, I might just be completely stunned.

 

Maybe one day someone'll get carried away and you'll get knocked the fuck out. You'll love it!

 

I see what you're saying, and understand now what you meant by it;

still there WAS more to the question than "should a man hit a woman"

but, like I said, I dig your point. If you're saying it's not cool for anyone to hit anyone, man or woman, I can get along with that. :cheers2:

Unfortunately... the rest of the world isn't filled with lovers and idealists like ourselves.... and so...

I personally think (not that it should matter to you) that anyone, man or woman, should be able to DEFEND themselves; and sometimes, as much as some don't want to admit, you do have to use force to defend yourself.

When you take a self defense class, sure, you'll learn maneuvers that avoid any kind of hitting or kicking, but hitting and kicking is sometimes necessary in certain situations, and you learn that too. You also learn holds/locks and that might not be hitting, but can do just as much if not MORE damage/pain than hitting...

and I'll tell you one thing, if ANYONE comes after me, you bet I'll be putting him or her in a shoulder lock if I get a chance. Those hurt far more than being decked in the face... ooooh yes.

I understand the thinking behind not hitting back, and two wrongs not making a right... I usually would be on the same wavelength with that. But in situations where someone is being attacked and abused, I think survival should come first... I'm not going to end up in a hospital just to prove a point that I'm "morally better" than someone else. Just sayin'......

 

There are no rules in a fight unless you are in a boxing ring. If someone attacks you, end the fight by any means necessary. Use things around you like rocks or sticks, or carry a small canister of pepperspray.

That said, never initiate a fight. That's what the police are for. But if you find yourself being attacked, don't let some archaic concept of honor stop you from defending yourself.

 

If some psycho bitch attacks a guy then its okay for the guy to fight back in defense. If a girl punches a guy once, its not okay for the guy to kick her ass but if she is equally strong and starts with the violence then it is okay fight back but abuse is a different story.

 

totally. A chick can't throw a punch then try to hide and play the "but I'm a female!" card. guys have as much right to protect themselves from a chick- just like we have a right to protect ourselves if a guy hits us 1st.

 

what is your idea of violence?
i'm genuinely interested

 

Sparring isn't fighting. Sure, you probably use the same moves (mostly), but you're either in body armor or holding back on your strikes. In a sparring bout, I wouldn't care about my opponent's gender or size (because we spar with weapons which make for a great equalizer). So if you were to spar with me then I'd definitely hit back (within the sparring rules of course )

But I wouldn't dream of starting a fist fight with you or anyone, male or female. Unless of course they mess with my wife or kid - in which case, I wouldn't even bother with punching. I'd just get a knife and carve the bastard a new asshole.
