Quote:Stop avoiding the question. If a man is being beaten to death, should he still follow the gentleman rules of never hitting a woman? If a woman is bigger, stronger, and faster than a man, and that man is unable to flee, why should he forfeit the right to defend himself from injury/death simply because of gender?

 

 

You say men should NEVER hit women. Never implies that you think man should accept injury/disfigurement/death in the "extreme" cases I mentioned.

 

You're being ridiculous just for the sake of arguing. I don't think anyone would fault a man for hitting a woman to avoid serious injury or death. But you and I both know that is an extremely rare situation, so far removed from the norm it falls outside any margin of error when saying "never".

 

If you want to declare victory in this argument, then go ahead - in the most narrow and rare set of circumstances, it is incorrect to say a man should never hit a woman. In reality, a man should not hit a woman 99.99% of the time.

 

Feel free to puff your chest out.
