Quote:Going back and combing through some of your responses, I dont think men should be deprived of defending themselves, but if a woman lands a glancing hit, do you return with a single counter that breaks her jaw?

 

I understand where you are coming from, but if a woman hits you (as was the way in the video) and you land a severe blow, its been determined that you were  pre-mediated to seriously inflict bodily harm when unnecessary.

 

Negative. If that was the case, the Grand Jury would not have dismissed the charges. The Grand Jury decided that the male returning the severe blow had every right to do so.

 

I do not condone people resorting to any violence if it can be avoided. If a male swings at me and I can avoid the situation without swing back, I'll do so. If a female swings at me and I can avoid the situation, I'll do so. However, I am not as ignorant as others on this board and realize several things:

-There are hundreds of thousands of females capable of causing serious injury to a male.

-There are many cases of females severe injury and even death, by hand, to a male.

-Up until the middle/late stages of adolescence, boys are girls have similar size and strength, yet young boys are constantly taught "you never hit a girl".

 

 

Have I ever hit a female? No. Do I plan on it? No. But I still can't buy in to blanket statements like "A man should NEVER hit a woman." As others have stated on here, if a woman hits a man first, that man has every right to defend himself.
