steve what im saying is when an average woman attacks the average man he has full capability to restrain her over hitting her back. if you are being attacked by a body builder/boxer woman then i feel you would have the right to hit her back in defence.

i guess you can always find a case to justify a reason why to hit a woman, but the truth is genetically males are bigger and stronger than woman, that i dont see as an insult when its just part of our evolution as humans. im not saying we are better, im just saying that our physical makeup has men being the larger sex of our spieces

well, our justice system might be flawed, but you go from having maybe a 50% chance of going to jail if she says you did it and you didnt, where as if you hit her, your going, theres hard evidence and your sentance will reflect that over no hard evidence. your call dude, if you are level headed enough to have shit hit the fan, not hit her, get accused of hitting her, cops coming, you still dont hit her, you go through the justice system some point its going to become evident that she is the crazy one and not you... i could play the whole thing out but why? hit a woman.... no matter what your life will suck more by doing it than not.

So it's ok to hit some women but not others...am I reading that right? That's a fairly dangerous proposition. I mean...where do you draw the line? Who gets to decide when a woman is qualified for retaliation? I understand that women are generally physically smaller than men (though not always), but when a women hits you, it's still gonna hurt. Maybe on a 1-10 scale it's a 6 instead of an 8, but now you're just splitting hairs.

You're assuming our justice system is even something close to fair in these matters. The fact is that most states have laws mandating that 90% of the time someone (read: the man) is going to jail in a domestic violence call. The only time you'll ever be let off is if there's no evidence whatsoever you even had an argument. And it's not like they just take you to hang out for a while...it's an automatic 36 hour hold (or something like that...might be 18...I think it's 36). And that's just for an accusation. I get why these laws are in place and they're great for people who really need them (although keeping a real abuser in jail is just going to give him 36 hours to get more pissed), but they give women a LOT of unfair leverage for false accusations. All I'm saying is that it's time to level the playing field.

Yes in a way steve it is. It is fair to hit a woman when they strike you first. Not to just come home from work one day and punch the old lady for being there. You draw the line at who punches first. A line gets drawn at the point where a woman punches a guy in the face. Girls can slap all they want to but there is a huge difference in slapping someone and punching them. The law here says that you cant assault someone unless you feel they put you in immenent danger. Im sorry, but when someone tries to mess up my face I feel im in danger and am gonna fight back.

I dont think it could have been said any better.

Actually I was refering to hitting a woman based upon body type like Chris was suggesting. You know...like it's ok to hit a girl who's larger but not one who's smaller. I totally agree with you though...if you just come home from work and start smacking your girl around for no reason you're just a coward and an asshole.
