Is saying it's wrong 4 a guy 2 put his hands on a woman & not holding women 2 any standard

Question

. . .Like saying "it's ok to hit women"

I think that's the root of all of the differences if you ask me. I know a lot of men that are gentlemen but would hit or restrain a female if they hit them back. I personally think that these men think that the common standard that a guy is a coward if he hits a woman & should not put his hands on her is one thing. But interpret the lack of a social standard that women should have toward men as saying "a guy should be a woman's punching bag".

Kind of like giving a child condoms one can make the arguement that you're just protecting them & one can make the arguement that you're implicitly endorsing them.

Answer 1

A guy should never hit a girl. period. They have more physical strength then girls do and can cause some serious damage. However, if a girl is hitting a guy for no reason then he can restrain her to get her off / away from him.

That being said...

A girl should never hit a guy unless there's a reason behind it (like he tried to hit her first.

Life would be so much nicer if everyone just kept their hands to themselves!

Answer 2

I'm not sure what you're getting at here.

I don't think it's OK for a guy to hit a woman but then I don't think it's OK for a woman to hit a guy and just expect the guy to stand there and do nothing.

Nobody really stands there taking a beating. If they do then they have issues.

Guys are a lot more physically stronger than girls. Well most are. That was really painful for me to say.

Meow ajax.

Answer 3

From the standpoint of a female martial artist, it can get pretty frustrating if a guy refuses to hit back. I am personally never offended if a guy hits me, because I know I have the guts to throw a few sweet punches and knee strikes back. XD

ESPECIALLY in the dojo, if someone of the male s*x refuses to hit me, it makes me feel as if I being judged as inadequate and inferior, rather than just an equal, just another student.

My advice? Keep hold-ups about gender OFF the mat where they belong - with your shoes.

Answer 4

My daughter studies martial arts and she has been taught to not back down from anyone.  Meaning she goes after the guys just like the other girls.  There were guys who always held back with her until they got tired of getting hit.  She knows that they are there to train just like she is.  For her its "if youre their, youre game".  That doesnt mean that she hits on guys thinking its ok.  Her brother still gets on her nerves and she wont hit in retaliation.  It goes back to what your taught and how youre brought up.  BUT, she did fight a boy while defending her friend. (wasnt happy about it , but it happened)  So she has seen the ugly of what a guy can do for real.  It kind of solidified her purpose for training.   She understands what males can do, but she also knows she doesnt have to just take it.  If they are taught respect then they will.

????? =S

Answer 6

gender dose not make a difference. if your attacked. use the same amount of force to protect yourself.example if she kicks you in the nuts.flaten the bob for her. but what happens is  a guy gets mad and beats the holly heck out of her and thats not right ethier.

Answer 7

not 2 b a prick but its the 21 century. womens equality is everywhere. if they r tough enough 2 hit a man they r tough enough 2 get hit back. females r not at all weak little useless creatures only for s*x, they can cause damage 2. i mean i wouldnt piledrive a 6 yr old girl that slapped me but if a girl socks me in the face @ the park im gonna tackle her and restrain her in a hammer lock or loose rear naked choke. ya dig?

Answer 8

I have never thought a guy should be my punching bag nor have I ever hit a guy. If I did I'd expect him to react by restraining me from hitting again. The only way I would strike out is in self defense.  

Answer 9

WE HAVE SO MUCH GOING ON IN THIS SICK WORLD ALREADY, THAT WE NEED TO REALLY NIP DOMESTIC VIOLENCE IN THE BUD!!!!  IT IS NEITHER RIGHT FOR A MAN OR WOMAN TO USE VIOLENCE ON ONE ANOTHER, BUT THE TRUTH IS THAT IT HAPPENS EVERY DAY. I FEEL THE FIRST SIGN OF VIOLENCE IS WHEN YOU CALL IT QUITS. WHEN A RELATIONSHIP HAS TO GO THERE EVEN ONE TIME, THE RELATIONSHIP IS ALREADY DOOMED. MOST MEN BEAT WOMEN AND CONTROL THEM, BUT THE SIMPLE TRUTH IS WHEN YOU LEARN TO LOVE YOU SELF, NO ONE CAN HURT YOU.

Answer 10

I agree with ameya here. I'd be offended if a guy insisted on going easy on me in sparring, etc. It just implies that I'm inferior to them. If women are to be equal to men, then that means they should be equal in all ways.

Even if a guy hit me on the streets, I wouldn't think of him as a coward for hitting a woman, I'd just hold him in the same kind of contempt I'd hold any violent street thug who goes around trying to start fights. It's not just wrong for a man to be violent towards a woman - it's wrong for anyone to be violent towards anyone. Although, it's ok to fight back for self defence reasons.

Answer 11

Speaking striclty from a martial arts perspective, I refuse not to treat a women any diferently in class as I would a man. I use the same level of contact on a female that I would on a man of similiar stature and level of experience. Too not do so robs them of critical training that is necessary if they are going to be able to defend themselves on the street. I will not shortchange any of our students, because if they think they can handle it and can't, that is my fault, not theirs.

It was hard for me to do this, but my wife, who is a brown belt, pointed this out to me.
