Getting slapped by a woman?

Guys, this is a question for you - do you feel that if you have done something really awful, then it is 'ok' for you to be slapped across the face by a woman? I just think that the whole idea of a woman being hit by a man is completely unacceptable in todays society, yet many women still feel it is alright to slap a man under certain circumstances.

Hitting is not okay, regardless of who is doing it. I will concede that in an extreme circumstance, to defend herself from physical abuse a woman might have to slap someone, but that is the exception, rather than the rule.

Thanks GardenGerty, I have heard of situations where men have taken advantage and women have delivered a slap to put them in their place. I cannot say I agree but I suppose those women felt they could justify their actions.

There is absolutely no way that either a man or a woman should be slapping each other. It's not just about physical strength, but the fact that some people have to resort to a violent retort shows an immaturity beyond belief. Behaviour breeds behaviour. Violence leads to violence. Stupidity...well, that just leads to more stupidity.

I agree that we should be able to find other ways to deal with the sort of anger that might make anybody want to hit anyone else. Thanks for the response.

On both part its not OK Shree. However, I know what you mean. When women fight against women violence by men why they on their part like the idea if men violence! I know women many like that. Another thing, they talk about equality and women's liberation but while traveling in a bus they fight when women sits are being occupied by a man! I digressed , I know but could not help telling this.

In my girly opinion it's not ok for a man OR a woman to slap their lover. I wouldn't slap the person I love.

The last time I slapped a man was a long time ago, he was a banking customer and we were talking about his account and he reach out and grabbed my chest area. I think it was deserved, it embarrassed both of us. I have no idea what made him do that. He never did it again, at least to me and he remained my customer.

Oh dear, he definitely had no right whatsoever to do that to you and I imagine that it must have been so uncomfortable to have to go through that. I am suprised that you continued to do business with him. I don't imagine that I would have been okay with doing so myself.

Hello UK_Shree, I do not think it is ok to slap any one whether it is a female or male being slapped. I think it shows a tendency of reacting too quick with anger. It is unacceptable in my opinion to lash out.Only circumstances might be to protect ones self but even then depends on the whole situation.

Thats a very interesting response and in many ways it makes a lot of sense. Most displays of anger are often connected with an inability to control one's own emotions. Thanks a lot for the response ds6413.

How right you are and what a good point you have made.violence is violence,except that a man would look silly reporting an assault a one of thing,if a man slapped a woman around the face she would have him arrested.The only time anyone should hit anyone is in selfdefence if you really think you are in danger.Other wise hands in pockets boys and girls.
