I mean, we've all been told it's not right to hit a woman under any circumstances, but it seems that many women feel quite alright in using physical contact to make their point.  And of course, there's the classic hit-the-guy-in-the-nuts videos that always had the audience LAUGHING hysterically on those "Funny Video" shows a few years back.\n\nSo why so we have contempt for those who strike women, but we laugh at men when they are struck?

cultural bias, women are more emotional and physically weaker, men are suppose to be stoic

After one hit from a girlfriend, hell no, but if I am ( for some reason ) attacked by a girl or group of girls I will protect my self. not over do it but get out of the sitution as soon as possable. Men should not hit women unless they are in some kind of danger

AHAHA.  I am crackin up!!  This is the best  question ever.  I couldn't agree more.  And look at the dude above me who calls you a sexist bastard...a MAN calling you a sexist bastard.  He is obviously a guy who kisses women's asses and feet seeking their approval.  What a pus$y-whipped beeotch.

the con census among the ladies here seems to be one of division. some want the guys to act like cave men (so they can secretly complain about it right?) and the other half want us to show our emotions (so they can secretly complain about it right?)\nmaybe all of us fellas should take you gals on the same emotional rollercoaster you take us on and, give you equal doses of both....randomly, so as to upset and confuse you so you'd know what it's like to live with you. HAH!!!

If it is true that sucks for the guy that it happened to. I think that alot of women try and make themself the victimes. It is wrong that our laws let them get away with it. A girl can scream rape and a mens life is over and the girl makes up this whole story.

some girls just like to see a guy in pain, they find it funny. Some guys find it funny too sometimes when girls are in pain, they laugh and say we're weak, maybe it's just payback. Just so you know i wouldn't do it as it is a pretty harsh thing to do.

Well, I think there is some truth to the stereotype that guys have issues with their feelings.   Many of us certainly don't have the emotional vocabulary to describe our feelings like the ladies do.\n\nAnother reason is sometimes it's not "safe" to express how we feel.\n\nFor example, if we feel rejected because we are not getting enough sex from our wives, we are called sex crazed by those same wives.  Why would anyone continue to share their feelings if those feelings are invalidated.\n\nMen don't have the corner on this market, women invalidate their man's feelings with similar frequency.\n\nI agree, there are ladies who refuse to share their feelings.  They may sulk, pout, or put the walls up, but when you ask them what is wrong, what is the first word past the lips, "Nothing."

i think that spanking is just one more way for men to put women in the subservient position that ensures their power.any guy who gets off on being powerful over a woman should seek help . as women we should be holding our men to a higher standard . popular culture should not dictate the norm.

It's a testosterone thing. \n\nIt's apparent you're in charge. I've been kicked, slapped called backwater sexist pig, and worse for holding a door open for a woman. I hold the door open for everyone.\n\nI've been called un-chivalrous, rude, and backwater sexist pig for NOT holding a door open for women.\n\nI've also been hit by a girl, and defended myself (when I was younger) and called sexist for hitting a girl. What about equality?\n\nI humbly request that you stop the Door thing, the the attacking, and the "which dress makes me look fatter" things. It just makes you look like whiny little brats. It gives men the illusion that you are too whiny to be in charge.\n\nBasically, it's delusion, testosterone, and not wanting the times to go past 1920 that makes men think they are still in charge.\n\nThere are some enlightened men like me who know what's going on, but there are some like the ones you described who have no clue that y'all have all the power.\n\nI hope this answers your question, Mam, sir, Master, whatever you want to be called.

It is not OK. Men deem themselves the masters of the universe and thereby set this standard of  hypocrisy. In my opinion, all men who sleep around with pride...but at the same time condemn women for exercising their individual sexuality, are only fooling themselves. They are exercising in the same smuttiness ...both in body and mind.\nWhen I was single I immersed myself in as much sex as I could just like every other (sex crazed)full bloody male. However, I have never believed it this double standard. I firmly believe that each person (men and women) has a right to their own individual happiness...so long as it does not infringe on the rights of others.

That's a really nice comment/question. I appreciate it. \n\n\nAnd, quitcallingm... ----- not all women are like that.

Men usually hit women when they are angry. Men are not good at expressing their feelings. Oftentimes a physical reaction is the inappropriate means they use. Men who hit will continue to hit without some kind of counseling. Don't wait too long usually during their remorse they offer to do anything. It is the perfect time to offer an ultimatum. Get help or get out! Don't let your guard down though just because he says yes he will. If he stops the counseling before completing it; he will continue to hit. Be very careful and I recommend professional services for both of you. I would be happy to guide you to services. You are right you don't deserve being hit. He has no right and it is extremely inappropriate behavior.

You haven't met very many women, I'm guessing. \n\nWe aren't negative. Well, some of us are, but not all of us. \n\nAnd those of us who have negative tendencies often see that as being critical of things around us. That means we can provide criticisms as well as praise. \n\nI just think many women evaluate things more than many men do.

Is what right? That it never occured to you that you were biting another human, or that she never said anything.\nWomen can be like that - and they can be made to feel that any complaints they have is being a drama queen, or that they are 'rocking the boat' and disturbing the peace. \n\nThat is why we need more gentlemen and people who respect that women have rights and needs just like men.\n\nI know you regret it and wish she had said something but sometimes we need to think before we ask certain things of a woman - is this going to be in 'her' best interests, or is it just something that I beleive is 'my right' to have because it turns me on.

"Im not againts [sic] hitting people that are gay..." \n\nYeah, we get that.\n\n"But I gave him two warnings to stop, and its not like I could go anywhere since I was stuck in the car. Was I wrong to deck him for not stopping?" \n\nWould you have hit this person if it were a woman? Or would you have found a less violent way of affirming your personal space? Somewhere, you got the idea that it's acceptable to resolve your disagreements through physical violence. Big man you are.\n\n"Do you think that he was trying to hit on me?" \n\nI don't know. Maybe he just has extremely poor boundaries. People who can't keep their hands to themselves are obnoxious.\n\n"What would you have done in that situation?"\n\nI would have removed his hand and I would have given him a piece of my mind from the start. I also would have stopped making out with the girl because, not only did watching you feel her up seem to encourage him to feel you up, it's also rather gauche to make out in mixed company.

I really don't see what can be funny about any of it, there again people like you that set out to cause relationship breakdowns must all be alike, the woman who slept with my husband whilst I was pregnant with baby no.2 sat and smirked her way through countless court hearings etc.  \nI agree with karma, it will catch up with you, and then you'll all have to form smirks anonymous to support each other
