-- Posted by pegger21 at 1:03 am on July 11, 2009 My friends, Dan and Phil, went out tonight with me. They ended up drinking too much and were slightly less inhibited then they probably should have been. Dan saw a girl walking across the street and said, "lesbian." She asked him to repeat what he said, so he said, "lesbian" again. She then proceeded to punch him in the face. He apologized for the comment and she punched him in the face again. Dan is not a tall person, but he is very well built so the punches didn't exactly do a significant amount of damage. Nonetheless, he is now the proud owner of a black eye as a result of his interaction with this girl. After the incident, Dan and I got into an extended discussion about whether or not he should have hit back. I believe that he should have hit back after she punched him the first time because I treat females as equals. He believes that women should not be hit, even in retaliation, because they are physically weaker. Should he have hit back given the circumstances? tl;dr Do you hit a girl if she punched you in the face? -- Posted by eklipse at 1:05 am on July 11, 2009 Honestly, I would never hit a female under any circumstances. Even is she punched me. There is nothing wrong with protecting your face and grabbing her fists to stop her from hitting you, but I would never fight back. That's just wrong, imo. -- Posted by Silenced at 1:05 am on July 11, 2009 I think he should have executed a defensive maneuver such as blocking or putting her in some kind of hold rather than hit her, but not just sit there and take it. -- Posted by One Two Step at 1:05 am on July 11, 2009 dan shoulda shutthefuck up. -- Posted by TBMP at 1:06 am on July 11, 2009 really, if it was unprovoked I'd obviously fight back. in this case i think he was right to not -- Posted by pegger21 at 1:06 am on July 11, 2009 Quote: from The Academy at 3:05 am on July 11, 2009 Honestly, I would never hit a female under any circumstances.

Would you have struck a male under the same circumstances? -- Posted by The Wolfhound at 1:07 am on July 11, 2009 I had to defend myself from a girl once. Defence only - blocks, evasive maneuvers, holds at most... -- Posted by eklipse at 1:08 am on July 11, 2009 Quote: from pegger21 at 4:06 am on July 11, 2009 Quote: from The Academy at 3:05 am on July 11, 2009 Honestly, I would never hit a female under any circumstances.

Would you have struck a male under the same circumstances? Most likely. Given my size, and lack of muscles, that'd be the only thing stopping me. -- Posted by SomeRandomKid at 1:09 am on July 11, 2009 how the hell do i embed stuff? -- Posted by ificanscream at 1:09 am on July 11, 2009 Well I am a girl, so i would hit her back. -- Posted by xchococatx at 1:10 am on July 11, 2009 Quote: from SomeRandomKid at 4:09 am on July 11, 2009 how the hell do i embed stuff? lmfao fail -- Posted by seedy underbelly at 1:10 am on July 11, 2009 I don't fight with anyone weaker than me (granted, I'm weak as fuck) so I wouldn't hit a girl. Now, if she was 6'2 and 250lbs that would be a different story... but otherwise I'd just be on the defense. -- Posted by eklipse at 1:14 am on July 11, 2009 Quote: from SomeRandomKid at 4:09 am on July 11, 2009 how the hell do i embed stuff? http://img.golivewire.com/forums/misc.cgi?action=lwcode -- Posted by ihaveahugemember at 1:15 am on July 11, 2009 ya i slap dem hos and thro them in the dumpster -- Posted by SaintJade at 1:18 am on July 11, 2009 i think it is wrong to hit women obviously, there is usually a difference in the body build so it isnt a fair fight, but if it got to a point with a woman hitting a man then to protect himself he should have hit her, not too hard though. And he shouldnt have made such a remark anyway. -- Posted by NakedSun at 7:39 pm on July 11, 2009 Fuck this shit. If women want equality they should expect it in ALL manners.
