Could you please ask Mrs Shadey where in this thread or anywhere else on this forum anyone has said it's OK for a man to beat a woman.
I'm quite certain that most people have said it's acceptable for a man to defend himself if being attacked by a woman, particularly in extreme circumstances.
Also, I think you're the only person who seems to think it's OK to beat men.
And you might want to ask her why it's OK for women to hit men but not vice versa, as Ben has asked about a million times without any sensible reply from you holier than thou I'd-never-hit-a-woman-no-matter-what-the-circumstances-cos-I'm-so-much-better-than-you types

Incidentally, I still think if the circumstances called for it, you'd hit a woman. For me to do it would be an extreme situation and a very last resort, and I suspect the same is true for you. But I still think you'd do it, and I think any bloke would in such circumstances.

I asked, she told me to grow up ... :eek:

Your welcome to think whatever you like.

I have the answer to the original question I asked, I'm done with this thread.

irrevelent, did you read the opening post? that would come under the extreme circumstances that this vote wasn't about
But it's not irrelevant. In the fight leading up to that - she was hitting and kicking him, he just ignored it and ignored it, before (getting fed up and shouting the insult to her) at which point she stabbed him.

Maybe he had fought back originally, he wouldn't have had a knife stuck in his tummy.

I would have left the place way before that, he got stabbed because he made bad decisions sadly Ben. In the UK, even under that provocation, he would have been charged with assault for punching her.

Personally I have no strength issues to prove to a woman... and I get the hell out if some woman gets that fiesty... why would I want to be around a woman like that?

again he should have walked out when she was hitting and kicking him, and never gone back, dont stay in an abusive relationship if you are a man or woman.

Thai women can be quite firey :eek:

I once was in an argument with an ex which got very heated, at which point she attacked me with her high heel, putting it through my leg - ouch!
 
I'm pretty sure all women can have their moments, just some go way past what is reasonable & responsible... blinded with rage I guess...
Same for some guys, I can look after my rage extremely well... but when I've lost it there has... in the past... been mayhem, as that doesnt make me proud, I steer away from trouble, whetehr female or male... it only becomes an issue when there is no way out, and even then I wouldnt hit a woman with a fist... maybe a firm shove...

I'm not sure what strength issues have to do with anything. I have no strength issues to prove to anyone, male or female - simply because I couldn't care less how others view me in than respect. But, if a man was attacking me, I would try to avoid having to get physical but if he persisted and wouldn't let me walk away, he would undoubtedly get a whack. The same applies to a woman.
I do actually feel bad typing that, because I do consider myself to be old fashioned in the way I treat women - holding doors open, giving up my seat etc etc, but I'm just trying to be honest, and there's no chance in hell I'm going to let anybody, regardless of gender, endanger my health and well-being or that of my loved ones. And it's all very well saying you'd get out if a woman was having a go at you, and if it's possible to do so then I would 100% agree, but sadly sometimes it just isn't possible. Like I posted earlier in this thread, I was once very nearly put in that situation but fortunately it didn't quite go that far.

This whole debate comes down to circumstance and individual scenarios in which it is impossible to know how one would react. For anyone to say they would never hit a woman regardless of the situation is either not imagining themselves in a severe enough situation or is just being stubborn or completely dishonest imo
 
Each to their own, I have no argument to make or a point to prove, simply stating the FACTS as they have played out in my considerably longer life.

A firm shove would probably suffice for you in any situation because you're a big lad and never likely to be in a situation where you'd need anything more than a shove. This also applies to Shady. BUT... like I said to Shady - what if your Mrs or other loved one was being savagely attacked by several other women and a shove would not be enough to keep them at bay?
 
you mean like in extreme circumstances? try post 1

"Extreme circumstances" is massively open to interpretation. A situation one person may call extreme, another may not.

For this reason alone I think the poll and thread are a bit daft. If the original question was a bit more closed, for example, "Would you hit a woman if she was gobbing off at you?", or "would you hit a woman if she started throwing ornaments at you in an argument?", or "would you hit a woman if she crashed your car?", or "would you hit a woman if she laughed at the size of your cock?" or "would you hit a woman if she told you it made her horny?" or "would you hit a woman if she came at you with a claw hammer?) or "would you hit a woman if it was the only way to stop her from maiming you?" or "would you hit a woman if .................

I think you get the point. Different people, different definitions, different abilities, different circumstances, different reactions.
 
who would think being being savagely attacked wasn't an extreme circumstance, maybe people who live on an estate like shameless, and a few people trying to keep an internet fight going, cant think of anyone else that would think its not an extreme circumstance

The impression he has been conveying no he wouldn't, he wouldn't hit a woman under any circumstances.

The problem with old fashioned values is not everyone still has them. So yes a man can still be old fashioned in his ways but his other half may not be. Yes men used to open doors pull out chairs etc but woman also used to keep the house in order have the tea on the table, look after the kids and in general look after and respect her man for providing for her and their family how many couples in today's society can say they still have that kind of dynamic?

so if you wife goes out to work and the man stays home doing the easy bit (that used to be called the hard bit when women did it) how does that make violence to either ok?:confused:

It doesn't - but that isn't what this topic about - if it was "Would you hit anyone" - then we wouldn't be having this mass page discussion.

The topic has specifically singled out women.
 
Guys, a bit of friendly advice . . . just don't hit her.

Reasons:
1) Guys will say youre not a man coz you hit a girl
2) It won't make you popular with other girls
3) No matter if its right or wrong, its just not accepted, even if that may be wrong

An ex-girlfriend of mine is currently flaunting her new bf right under my nose really provokingly . . . what will I gain if I hit him/her? Probably get kicked out of University. Just keep walking and ignore. Keeps you out of trouble.

Word of advice . . . just don't start violence, be it a man or a woman, It invariably escalates gets ugly.
