I do the same. The only thing is that I immediately shut the door when a male comes to it.

Now I don't know how many of you have law enforcement/military experience, but sometimes people just don't cool down by being restrained. A person that is cornered like that will sometimes become even more dangerous. Females are no exception to this rule. Sometimes you have to make it so a person can not move through mean other then just restraint. Especially when a person is in an altered state of mind i.e. depression, drugs, psychological disorder. Have you ever seen someone who is trying to commit " suicide by cop " (having the cop kill hem). These people go crazy, pepper spray, stun guns and handcuffs don't always work. So just imagine a normal citizen who doesn't have these items. Your life doesn't have to be in danger, being in harms way is more then enough moral and legal justification to strike someone.
Also, what of the case of being out numbered? Your life may not be in danger, but you could be facing serious psyhical damage. Is that not enough reason to strike back? No matter how good you are, you can't restrain 3 or 4 people on your own. Will you sit there and allow yourself to be bloodied? If you answer yes, that is a huge lie and you need to stop fooling yourselves.
And saying " no, under anything sort of death I will refuse to strike back ", thats just saying that woman are beneath you. If you really want to play the respect card, then don't treat females as timid, weak little, helpless damsels in distress. They gave BIRTH to you, do you honestly think that they can't handle it? It's a scientific fact that although men have a higher thresh hold for pain, women deal with it better. They are stronger then you think. This I know to be true, I have sisters that can beat the crap out of most guys I know.
Now I am not saying go find a female to vent your anger upon, I am talking about cases involving being attacked. Being attacked doesn't have to involve your life being put in danger either. I have never hit a female, not even my own sisters, although when need be I won't think wice about seperating their joints to make them unable to attack me any further. Yes violence is wrong, especially against someone that is weaker then you and in an unwarrented fashion. But not all females are weaker, and they aren't always the victim. Don't look down on woman that way. It's just pathetic.

If the girl is your girl, it is impolite to hit her for getting in your face. Simply grab her arms and shake lightly. Should she resist, shake the s--- out of her. Lawyers, police and angry fathers with shotguns really are a pain to deal with.

If your at a bar and that girl looks like a man, take it outside, pretend your too drunk to tell the difference and smack her anyway. If it turns out that she really was a he, have another drink and call it a night.

Alternatively, if it is a girl, grab another drink and take her home with you for some late night shenanigans.

Lol, ah this forum is entertaining.

I dunno about that... If you got beer goggles on and the girl looks like a guy already I'd be pretty scared to find out what she looks like without them. In any case it's always time for another drink.

u know what that crap never works for me...like when i hold the door at church...i turn into a door man... every time i try to walk away they just keep on coming...bastards...

Only if you have no intention of ever getting friendly with any girl that knows a girl that knows the one you smacked. Wait this was an eithics question wasn't it? Damn, gets me every time.

I think it is wrong to strike a woman - nay, any female - except in the most life-threatening, extenuating circumstances. Even then, I think attempts at restrainment should be made first. Perhaps I'm old fashioned, but I believe I will never (have to) hit a woman...

Insolence attracts the thunderbolt of the gods

In other words, don't get rich, powerful, proud, old, or insolent, or else you'll lose everything, be struck by lightning, and blown off a cliff (by a proud, diseased wind!).

I kind of view that as looking down upon though. If I was a woman, I would be offended by this. *cues Ama* ;P

While I'm not a big fan of violence, if a girl does something that warrents getting hit I don't see why you should hold yourself back. I've never hit anyone though. I should also say that if I did try to hit someone and he used a hold on me instead of hitting back that would make me even more angry, since it would be like saying I'm too weak to be worth bothering with.

Of course if you're hitting a girl simply in order to control her that's another thing altogether, and a definite no.

nope. XD But it isn't OK to hit a guy either.
People tend to forget that words have much more power than violence sometimes.

ofcourse it is ok to hit a girl, women are no beter nor worse then men if a girl starts something with me and she ends up slaping me id slap her back but i wouldnt beat the crap out of them for no reason.
also in certain situations you shouldnt hit women example:when shes pregnant

i am a feminist, so if a woman were threatening me/hitting me/ making my life a living hell, i would hit her. but just as i would do with men, i would probably go for restraint first...

To be honest no. There are a few exceptions, most of which have a snowball's chance in hell during the hottest month of the year of ever happening. The only time I broke this rule was when I was in martial arts and we were sparring, since spars are meant to help both participants and one failing to do their share hurts the others. But even then I pulled my punches.
