Assault

[justsomeguy]

Mind you, the reverse is happening a lot now. There are many complaints of birds knocking guys around now. A growing trend apparently.

So what? Most guys should be able to take a punch and get out of the room as quickly as possible, then dump the crazy woman.

It's not okay for anyone to hit anyone in general.

Why should a guy "be able to take a punch"? Cos he's male?

My point was that it's no more or less acceptable if you don't have a penis.

Domestic violence is a different issue.

I agree completely.

I just say the guy should take the punch and get out - not hit back.

Please explain.

No, I'm totally serious. If we can't have equality then I want my fuckin eggs ready by the time I get home with the grocery money.

And you'll smack the bitch in the head if she doesn't cook them when and how you want them?

Guys reactions in this situation are often similar to all the stories you hear of women going back to their partners. I know a guy who was getting bashed - similar story to all the ones you normally hear, he loved her and it wasn't normal for her, it was the booze etc so he stayed with her. He had to go to A&E once because of an iron to the head. I think that was the last time, but it took a while and he was gutted that he had to end the relationship. I doubt it's as common as the other way around, but it does happen and it doesn't get reported much either.

As a matter of interest this guy was a cop.... Bloody nice guy too.

Bloody nice guy too.

I guess that was his biggest "fault" if I may call it that.

He must have really loved her and given her chance after chance and compromised his life to suit her moods.

Sometimes it's hard to accept that the people you love are not as great as you think they are.

I can easily understand people going back to their abusive relationships; they are blinded by their feelings and block out reality. That is why it is so easy for the rest of us here to tell Kitty to walk away but relatively tougher for her to so. She has shared a history with that person and remembers more about him than the one second where he hit her.

Not always that easy in reality mate...I know from experiences.
I've been stabbed in the head with a wine glass by a female...I defended myself until another chunk of me fell to the ground. Got to the stage that she was serious going to kill my arse so I twacked her in the gut and got the freak out of there...why is it then that I got charged eh...and yes as another member has posted it stays for LIFE!
Yes I do get a bit pissy when people make broad sweeping statements that ALL men that "hit" women are 100% wrong...different circumstances in most cases.
Don't get me wrong,I HATE wankers that beat women cause they can't handle some stress/she gets lippy/etc...weak individuals and fuck knuckles but hey you need to see that it is NOT always the same.

100% agreed...ya got it in one there..." in general"

Dover is an idiot, but I don't think he'd do that.

[The_Dover]

Please explain.

It would appear that the people on here that keep arguing how wrong it is for a man to hit a woman are the ones that are referring to situations where the female is regularly on the receiving end of a good hiding from their partner. Domestic violence.

However if a female attacks a male then I would say that the man has every right to defend himself and if that means fighting back then so be it. If you would read my posts you would see that I am against anyone, male or female, using violence agaisnt any other person, male or female.

The problem I have is with the neaderthals that choose to label someone who hits a woman as a coward and the lowest life form. I do not agree with anyone striking out at anyone else, male or female.

And you'll smack the bitch in the head if she doesn't cook them when and how you want them?

Hell, if you want to be all victorian and seperate my rights as a man from those of a female then why not take it to extremes?'

But no, I wouldn't as I would not advocate a sexist regime like that in the first place. I like to think that men and women are equals, equal rights, equal responsibility and equal culpability.

Anyone who thinks otherwise has no idea how much of a "bitch" some women can be.

My 00.2c Kitty...

Don't know you or the circumstances but there usually is two sides of the story, but hitting out is not an option.

1. He hit you - he won, you lost.
2. You do nothing - he wins, you lose. He gets away with it and as a result of getting away with it, he WILL do it again.
3. You report to the Police and prosecute - you win, he loses.
4. You report it "for the record" only and not prosecute - you both win, you have power and control back again because you didn't tolerate it and more importantly, it shows everyone (family/friends/him) that you won't tolerate it.

Ultimately, it is your call. Good luck.
