Forums - General Discussion - Would you hit a girl in the face?

TurboElder said:

If it's a nice conservative white girl - never. A dumb liberal, antiscientific feminist - yeah, with a pleasure.

Stay classy.

 

 

OT:

I try to not get into situations where I have to hit anyone in the face. But in a desperate situation where I'm forced to defend myself I probably wouldn't care about the gender of the attacker.

Plus, I have tender hands and don't want to ruin them.

If I can have the mental strength to ignore that post, so can you. It's not fair that I have to be the adult here now and you can just post memes.

Why can't you just post memes too?

Only in appropriate situations.

It's the adult thing to do.



If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

While there are certainly women who could hurt me, in my experience thus far it's not particularly hard to just hold them at arms length while trying to speak some calm sense into the situation.

I think it depends on the circumstances, but generally the male is far more capable of extricating themselves from the situation without either party suffering serious injury than the female is. I'm having a hard time thinking of a circumstance where I'd punch a woman in the face, unless perhaps she's in arm's length and is some lunatic with a gun or something.

Otherwise, I'd just leave... I once had a seriously drunk girl at a bar accidentally burn me with her lit cigarette and when I informed her of this she spit on me (she was trashed and already quite angry for seemingly no reason); I won't lie, a part of me wanted to chuck her across the room at that point and it was probably the closest I've come to actually wanting to harm someone (not for the accidental burn but that she had the nerve to spit on me for warning her as she continued to drunkingly flail her cig hand about), but I kept calm, the bouncer threw her out despite her hilariously emotional protests, and about a minute later I was given a free beer and had a funny conversation about it while none of us were hurt (outside of my cigarette burn lol) or faced future legal issues.

It's just better to avoid hitting someone when you can, and very rarely with either gender are you left with no options.

I've actually had pretty much that exact same thing happen to me, except instead of spitting at me, she threw her drink in my face.

But ya....just take a deep breath, and whoosah for a sec. You're pretty much never gonna be doing yourself a favor by punching a chick

Yeah, that's always been my view on physical altercations 99% of the time... neither side wins regardless of how it ends. The challenge is holding back through the first 3 to 5 seconds after something truly outrageous occurs (like having some asshole spit on you or throw your drink on you); if you can navigate your way through those few seconds of rage, generally you're able to calm down and act rationally. If you give in to that spike of rage, you'll probably feel sick in a moment regardless of how it goes.

The way I look at it is that woman who may have been having a terribly day or just a hard life in general made it home unscathed to sleep off her hangover, and I made it home with only a minor annoyance of a burn and watched a movie with friends. Neither of us faced looming legal battles, medical bills, or had to get bailed out of jail.

In the end, a few seconds of frustrating restraint is by far preferable to the alternative almost every time... One quote I like to keep in the back of my mind is an observation from Marcus Aurelius where he asked: "How much greater are the consequences of anger than the cause?"



In an extreme circumstance, sure. If a woman was running at me with a knife extreme... I'd punch first. Otherwise, no.

Had an abusive relationship once. Closest I came to hitting back was grabbing a pillow and smacking her with it a few times quite hard. Keep in contact with her too... Had a laugh about it. I understand that in the heat of the moment in can be quite hard to restrain yourself but typically hitting a woman is terrible, even in self defence.

I'd never punch somebody first, but if you punch me, man or woman, you'd bet your ass I'd retaliate. Don't give a crap what genitals you have. Equality :P

No.Unless she have a gun pointed to me or something.But other than that,there's no excuse to punch a woman.



I'm ashamed to say that when I was younger I punched my cousin and knocked her tooth out. However, nowadays I'd never do that.



I don't assume gender so I always hit back....



loloololololzzzzz

But on the real side, if I'm hit first, I hit back. Don't bring gender into it. Equal rights. If you are hit first, hit back.

I wouldn't make a difference between male and female, though between weak and strong. That means you'd really have to punch me though.
