Is it Always Wrong for Men to Hit Women?

Is it always wrong for a man to hit a woman? Even if she hits him, should the man not retaliate as he should be respectful? Or should everything be equal between male and female? 

Yes, its wrong no matter what.

In an ideal world there would not be any form of violence however it is written in the history of our species and that is where we are now continuing to exhibit violence that continues to arise out of many origins, real or imagined, out of conflict, misunderstanding, opposite points of view, etc etc and on and on.

As long as we demonstrate violence physically or verbally we simply reinforce it through every generation and as a species we appear to be destined to be unable to sustain peaceful co-existence from more than a short period of time before we destroy it.

Side: Yes, its wrong no matter what.

Side: No, it depends.

I think it's generally wrong to hit anyone, but I mean sometimes people are assholes. And men and women both have assholes.

Side: No, it depends.

No. Some exceptions:

1) Self defense

2) Sado Masachism (mutually agreed upon)

3) Bump on the Head restore (like in movies)

4) Body Snatcher/Possession (knock them back into self control)

5) Open division fighting (like MMA, boxing, wrestling)

6) Acting

7) Crime intervention (like she was stealing your baby)

8) Foreign spy

9) "Hit" in the sexual sense (as in "I would hit that")

10) Tourettes involuntary response

And I'm sure there are many more

Women should be struck regularly, like gongs.

The term, ''rule of thumb'' originated from an old English law whereby husbands were allowed to beat their wives with a stick, providing it was no thicker than the average thumb.

Side: No, it depends.

certainly domestic abuse is wrong, which is what this usually refers to .but there are certainly reasons for a man to hit a woman, such as in self defense .

Side: No, it depends.

any situation where a women hits a man with malicious intent then a man should be able to hit back.

Side: No, it depends.

It depends on intent. If he can't get away and she slaps the man then yes, slap her right back. But you have to be careful that you don't escalate the violence, like the term bringing a gun to a knife fight. If she slaps you and you punch her, you are escalating and the legal system will go after you (the original victim) instead of her (the original instigator)

Side: No, it depends.

You know some women with this in mind try to abuse it. Hitting a woman is never an option for me though somw deserve it. I actually day dream it a when woman is misbehaving. But then, they are so weak a punch can easily make them blackout.

Side: No, it depends.

If she is threatening bodily harm against you, or someone else, a swift backhand may be in order.

Side: No, it depends.
