delicate question: is there ever a situation, that allows a man to punch a female?

[vash]

in 3rd grade, i honestly tried to punch denise...but she had just kicked me in the nuts, and i wasnt seeing straight and was going down fast. i still see her from time to time..she has grown up smoking hot..we laugh about it now.

anyways back to the original question. maybe self defense? what if a female hoodlum was up in your face yelling, spitting...times are a-changing! heard a soundbite on the radio of some lady yelling at an old lady. when a male fellow passenger (they were on a bus) told her to leave the nice elderly lady alone, she turned her venom onto the dude. he took it for awhile, got fed up, and yanked her weave out...i think it is on youtube.

i would love her hear the opinion of the guys (and gals), we come from all walks of life.

i think in my mind; if i found someone messing with my mom or wife. say a woman was mugging them....i will knock them out without hesitation.

[HardDrive]

I would certainly never strike a woman first.

If a woman started pounding on me, I would give her the opportunity to stop, then subdue her. Doesn't matter how it went down. Cop show up and you have bloodied up some gals face, your going for a ride.

[peppy]

In most cases no....the above scenario maybe if I could not restrain her otherwise.

[TGTIW]

If said "punch" term was preceded by the word "donkey."

[cashflyer]

Punch? No. Maybe in co-ed foxy boxing.

Slap? Well.... just check out the satisfied look on this gentleman's face.

wow. i just asked a good friend and coworker the same que. he said he did it once. here is his story.

back in the day, he (hispanic) asked a hot italian woman to the cow-palace (the hood) to see a funk concert. once they got there, he said they were the minority. they were dressed up because they were going to another event right after the show. the GF needed to pee, so he escorted her to the loo. he went too, and finished and waited outside the woman's room. 5, 10...30 minutes pass, and he gets very scared. she finally comes out...she is bloodied, her dress is torn, and her jewelry is stripped away. she is crying, and yelling, "i want to go home!" my buddy assumed the worse and asked her if she got raped. she was blubbering, and finally said there are 3 huge women in the bathroom mugging women as they come it. and in fact they were working another white lady at the time. my friend is an ex-gang kid, turned straight. he raged..and stood outside the bathroom. he said, a white woman ran out messed up, and three huge woman stepped out...he looked back at his GF and saw her cower. he said the place was shoulder to shoulder, so he put his head down and walked towards them..as he got close enough he put he all into a punch. he said they were bigger than he was and had to punch upwards, but he felt her teeth come out. the crowd simply sees a hispanic man hit an african american "woman", and all hell breaks out. my buddy showed me the two knife scars..he got worked. CRAZY STORY! the cow palace security guards saved his life that night.

Q: Whaddya tell a woman wit two black eyes?

A: Nuttin'. Ya already told her twice.

[Seahawk]

Dated a Guatemalan woman in college...half German: the best of two worlds, flighty and determined.

She came at me once like a Hispanic Blitzkrieg, lot's of noise and some intent.

I reacted instinctively: Hit her in the chest with a straight right. She went down like the Skylab. I was embarrassed, she seemed...

[masraum]

I think the rule is this.

"Never hit a lady"

Of course, if a woman is not behaving like a lady and really deserves it (self defense, defense of another, etc....) But then my rule is the same for everyone. I don't hit people if there's any other way. Fortunately for me, I've never been backed into that corner.

[Westy]

Done it quite a few times. When in Rome.............

Brings back memories of 7th grade...

Sitting in English class, doing a "group" assignment. A girl in my group (who in retrospect clearly had a crush on me) was on crutches. She teased me. I teased back. The next thing I know, she was swinging her crutches at me in retaliation. Now, I just kept grabbing the rubber tips before she hit me. She never landed a blow. I really don't think she was trying very hard either. The teacher notices, sends us both to the principal's office. We both get detentions. (I still can't figure out how that was fair.) By the end of the day, the rumor was all around school that I got beat up by a girl.

[Moses]

Punched a horse once. She was a mare so I guess that counts. She ripped my leg up on barbed wire (on purpose), ran me under a tree and finally as I was dismounting she bit my leg so hard she drew blood. Hurt like a M F'er. I was enraged and hit her in the neck HARD. She sidestepped and snorted at me. Not bothered at all. B!tch.

when I was in 7th Grade 2 girls were talking about what to do while taking it up the azz...

Anyway if she is squeezing my balls with intent.....

[flatbutt]

If a spindly 90 pound man got up in your face and was threatening you , would you knock his junk into the dirt?

I would...well at least I'd try.

So whats the difference? If forced to defend myself or my family that's what I'm going to do.

[Jeff Higgins]

I would never hit a lady. Or a gentleman, for that matter. That said, being female no more qualifies one as a "lady" than being male qualifies one as a "gentleman".

[legion]

What about ladies with penises? Where do they land on the scale?

[Tim Hancock]

What do the thousands of battered woman all have in common?....... They don't effing listen!!

Sorry...couldn't pass that one up.

I came really close once. I was on a group camping trip with my ex at some freaky spelunking gathering. She got loaded and I said something she didn't like so she close hand slapped me across my face and ear. I didn't even see it coming and it left me a little dazed. Without thinking I balled up my fist, tensed the muscles in my right arm, and began to rotate my shoulders in preparation to crush her head. Mid stream I started thinking again and ended up just shrugging it off and walking away. I did however load up the car and leave her at a campground 250 miles from home! To this day I don't think I would have any remorse if I had chosen to take her down. You want to act like a man, you get treated like a man.

The key phrase mentioned above is don't hit a lady, and a pu***y does not make a her a lady.

I worked with a female at a past job that was a lesbian. She was only a little over 5'5". Her partner came in once in a very bad mood. It looked to me like my co-worker was about to get hit. I stepped in between and was ready to throw a punch to what looked like a 5'4' ugly dude. I did not have to hit her.

The better question: when is it NOT ok?
