"Never Hit a Girl"

    Guys always think they're stronger than girls. They feel the need to threaten us to feel "power."

    I can safely say, I'm stronger than the majority of boys that threaten to hit me. And I've been hit by a boy before and he left a mark, so I hit him back. Simple self defense.

    I think that's a bit of a generalisation. Not all boys threaten girls to feel power (in fact I have probably only ever seen one or two men in my life who threaten girls, as opposed to countless woman nagging to their husbands and numerous slaps to guys. I'm not saying it doesn't happen but you can't say that all guys are like that, just like how I can't say that ALL girls think they're better than guys).

    You must have done something if a lot of boys tend to want to hit you.

    Technically, if a man refrains from hitting a woman just based on the fact that she is a woman, it's sexist behavior.

    That being said, I still wouldn't do it.

    But it changes if, somehow, the world was overrun with female zombies. Then I would kick ass.

    My mom likes to bat me around for "fun," so I just put something in the way of her swing (like my wrist or elbow) and she bangs her arm. XD Granted this is all at play-fighting speed, so nobody really gets hurt.

    However, if you have fast enough reflexes, you could try this instead of hitting back/whatever. Apparently it's more gracious to intentionally make someone hurt themselves than to intentionally hurt them directly.

    I've barely spoken three words to these guys. Usually people threaten me because I speak my mind.

    But, generally, the boys around my area threaten to feel power.

    But I still believe that guys shouldn't hit girls. But that also doesn't make it okay for us girls to hit guys because we know they can't fight back.

    That really isn't normal behavior. I get the feeling we're only getting one side of the story.

    Also, I'm not surprised you're able to beat up 14 year old boys. After all, they are 14 years old.

    A girl who is strong enough to pose a threat to a man isn't a lady, so the rule doesn't apply. (iow, it only came about because women are supposed to be fragile. If they are trying to kill you, then they probably aren't fragile, so there really is no need to hold back.)

    (That sounds really sexist... but I really wasn't trying to be. lol)

    Semi-that.
    A woman who is enough to pose a threat to anyone isn't a lady. Some can be able to knock a man down (The really gym addicted ones) but they can be pacifists. Freaks of nature (rephrase: Most of the Western World) are a different story.

    I don't give a frick what gender you are IF YOU HIT ME I WILL HIT YOU RIGHT BACK IF I FEEL LIKE IT.

    Different. Genders. Nothing else. Everyone wants and is begging for EQUALITY SO FLIPPING MUCH- then take this rule down. It's just separating people more and more.

    I can't hit girls. Because they're girls. But girls can hit me. Because they're girls. WHAT THE FRICK.

    That's like saying Mexicans can only eat tacos because they're Mexican and Americans (or any other country) can't get the benefit of the deliciousness.

    IF YOU HIT ME AND YOU THINK YOU ARE SAFE JUST BECAUSE YOU HAVE A VAGINA RUN THE FRICK AWAY.

    Women have far to abused this "rule" of society. A lot of them think that they can hit a guy at anytime, for anything, because the guy can't do anything. It shouldn't be that way, not at all. No one should hit anyone, but sadly, it happens.

    If a girl starts wailing on a guy, he is in every right to defend himself, any way he can. Still, many refuse to do anything. Why? Because, even if they do it out of self defense, they will be hated by others. On the flipside, if they sit by and let the girl pound on them, they get teased for "getting beat up by a girl."

    If I was in this situation, I would simple restrain her. That isn't because she is a girl, but because I don't believe in violence.

    This is also could be boiled down to a female equality thing. They say that they want to be treated as equals of men. So then, by that logic, a guy should be able to a girl the same as girl hitting a guy and face the same consequence, but he doesn't. They preach to be equal, but in little situations like this (and lady's first etc.) they try to put themselves above men. So, either stop campaigning to be equal, or quit complaining when treated as such.


    Yes, I went a little off topic, maybe, but I found it all relevant to make my point... sort of.

    Remember: Nothing says "stop" like a good ol' pimp hand XD.
    Joking aside, I'm the kind of person who doesn't think that you need a fist to win the fight. Sure I'll defend myself if the situation gets too bad but I usually end fights before they began.

    I got in plenty of fights when I was little because guys would say "I don't hit girls." Sure, they meant it in a respectable way but since I was young (elementary-ish) I understood it like this "You're too weak, so one punch would knock you out and make you cry." I'd call them sissies and start fights just for that XD.

    Meh. For me, this mainly applies to those guys that abuse their wives, that's probably how it started, or something, BUT guys really shouldn't hit girls since they are physically weaker than guys, that is unless they really, really have to.

    I think it's way too subjective to be just a simple rule of thumb. I knew a girl in my old poetry class who was the loudest, most ignorant piece of human waste you could ever meet. She was both verbally and physically abusive to everyone and most people couldn't even stand being in the same room as her. And you know what? Even if I was a guy, I would've loved to crack that girl right across the face. I wouldn't, of course, but I did secretly hope someone would put her in her place, and I didn't necessarily care about the gender of that person.

    But personal vendettas aside, like I said, it's extremely subjective. I agree with Shanghai Alice though: rather than "never hit a girl," I prefer "never draw first blood." And even then, you should at least make an attempt to walk away.

    Please do that to every feminist of the world who uses "Women's right" or "Gender Equality" as a curtain for "Female Supremacy". If anyone was to replace the Jews in the horrible events that happened to them between 39-45, it would be the feminists who thinks turning the table is "Gender Equality".

    Maybe I should start my own club "Women against Feminism". Feminism: Take away the Female Nazi ideology and you get Humanism.

    I'm very against violence, i would only hit a girl if it was to defend in a serious situation. If s girl really did something awful to my little sister i don't know what i would do.

    "Mama" Chelsea? Is that you?

    Seriously, though... I don't know why, but I can't stand the "I'm a girl, but I'm strong, so I'm going to be the Mama Bear!" mentality.

    This isn't meant to be offensive, but for everyone like that that I know (Like the aforementioned "Mama" Chelsea in our school), they tend to be double-standard loving pieces of evil.

    BUT guys really shouldn't hit girls since they are physically weaker than guys, that is unless they really, really have to.

    Unless the guy is physically weaker than the girl. But... double standards FTW!

    What a dumb creed. If you're a violent person, adding sexism to the mess isn't going to make you any more honorable. If you're attacked and forced to defend yourself, choosing not to do so because the attacker is a woman is going to get you seriously injured or killed. Either way, it's stupid.

    We've all heard it before. Males are, because of the basic code of honor that everyone should live by, not allowed to hit females.

    And that's pretty much all that the phrase says on the matter.

    So the question is... How far does this go?

    Obviously, you're not allowed to draw first blood. Ever. That's... just no.

    However, if a girl punches you, kicks you, or slaps you (As you ladies love to do...), would you only fight back if the situation is life-threatening? Or would the simple act of being attacked throw that out the window?

    Additionally, to what extent does this idea apply? Is it "Never feed a girl a double helping of a knuckle sandwich" or, "Don't harm females, even slightly"?

    Of course, I'd love to feed a certain lady a ten-course meal of knuckle sandwiches, fist-flavored ice cream, fist a la pain, and fist de Shanghai. But that's another story.


    My opinion would be:
    1. Don't draw first blood. Period.
    2. Only hit a girl if there's actual need, but it doesn't necessarily have to be life threatening.
    3. Getting slapped in the face, even if you don't deserve it, doesn't count. For some reason, women have a right to slap people in the face and get away with it. Meh.


    ...discuss


    And yes, I want people to disagree with me. I want people to tell me I'm wrong, for that is a discussion.
    I'm so gonna abuse 3!

    Well.. I'm pretty violent and tend to have anger bursts so I need to release them.. on someone. And I'm pretty strong too, so dare you hit me. I tend to get into lots of fights in school too.
    OT - I don't really mind if someone will hit a girl unless it's just because he wants to without a reason.

    It might behoove you not to push your luck. Some people, such as me, don't follow such a ridiculous rule. If you slap me, I will defend myself as is my legal right.

    I've detested this saying so badly since I was a child, whenever someone would say this to me I'd be attempting to hit them straight away, it's like saying girls are weaker than boys, and I don't believe that it should be said that girls are weaker than boys. Some are not stronger and some are. This may sound slightly violent but yes, it's what I think. If a woman hits a man for no reason, he should be able to do it back, and if a man hits a woman a woman should be able to hit him back. Simple.

    Obviously, in a life-threatening situation, I would do whatever to defend myself. But otherwise, no, I wouldn't hit a girl. If a girl hits me, I don't hit back. I don't even hit back if a GUY hits me lol :P (Unless in a serious situation, of course)

    My family told me to be kind to girls and women, so I do. I don't hit them. Never. I'd never hit a woman. If she punched me across the face and would do it again, then I think I'd have to try to do something to get my ass out of there.

    But what if you deal with a transgender person? What would you do then?
