Why do some women feel its ok for them to hit men, but not ok for men to?

not all women do, its not ok for no one in a relationship hit each other. but still men should never hit a female. men are suppose to be bigger and stronger then females. but yes some females do think its ok for them to hit us. i had an ex g/f used to hit me all the time and i told her i am not a punching bag and she did it again and i broke it off with her

since men and females have different body structures,i think a mans hit may hit the women hard while a womens hit may be pat for man!!

It is true that most woman of average size can be as strong as the average man. The difference is what society teaches the two sexes. Women in general are not as strong as men. Of course there are exceptions but those are far from the rule. If a woman believes it okay to hit a man but not be hit I think it is more self serving than anything. It likely has to do with the way they were raised. Boys are taught that you should never ever hit a girl. That is not lost on girls either so of course they don't think you should. Of course neither should be hitting the other anyway. My personal opinion is that if I could not defend myself against a woman, providing I see it coming, it is time to get some training. I have never, nor would I ever hit, a woman. And if I have a choice she will not be hitting me. Never had it happen and don't expect it ever will.

It comes down to power, and lack thereof, whether the abuse is coming from a woman or a man. Historically, there were societies in which it was expected for the man to keep his woman in line through abuse if necessary. That's where the term 'rule of thumb' came from, since a man wasn't allowed to hit his wife with any rod that was thicker than his thumb. Today, some women seem to think that they have the right to abuse (hit) a man, because the man isn't allowed to hit back, giving the woman a sense of power. In any case, my opinion is that any form of physical or emotional abuse is wrong, no matter who is doing the abuse, or who is receiving it.

I have always wondered this myself. If you as a female feel its ok to hit a man there are alot of men who will hit back. I think the mentality is that men are stronger and a women can't hurt a man but that is not always true and its not right. Also its just not right for anyone to hit each other at any time.

May be because women feel they are a privileged spices. When they talk about equality they don't remember that men are stronger than them in terms of strength. And equality doesn't mean only mental power. Anyhow women always expect to be treated differently and carefully yet they never stop to talk about equality! Anyway, hitting someone regardless the gender is a bad thing. one should have that power of control.

Maybe because they are thinking that men are much stronger than women and that if women hit men, it would just be like a swat and they won't really get hurt. A man's fist can kill or knock a woman out. But whatever, may be the reason, it is still not okey to hit somebody be it a man or a woman. Again, IT'S NEVER OKEY to hit anybody.
