If a women hit you, would you hit back?

Several years ago I was in an Irish pub in Germany with a couple of mates. The place was packed and it was a good vibe. There were two girls from Essex standing next to me at the bar (both pissed) and they were having go at me for having a Liverpool accent.
I told them to **** off and leave me alone, which they did. When I left the bar, these two girls jumped me. I'm not talking about calling me names and pulling my hair, I'm talking about going for the jugular.
One of them managed to get behind me and get a good grip of my ponytail and pulled me back. I staggered backwards and the other one kicked me full force in the bollocks. I was in agony. I managed to tear myself loose and their was a sort of a stand off.
I didn't do a thing, at the end of the day, these were girls. If it had of been two blokes, it would have been on big time. I ended up just walking away in agony being called every name under sun.
The reason I bring this up, is because I seen one of these girls today on a friends Facebook page.
Looking back, I should have probably decked both of them.
When should a man hit back?

    If it's a male or female doesn't matter.

      I would probably do the same now as well. However, at the time, I was roofing, doing Tae-Kwon- Do, kick boxing and playing football. One punch probably would have put them in intensive care.

        And it really depends on the situation.
        There's been a couple times I've pissed off someone who have come at me arms flying. If I knew I could destroy them, I'd just laugh a little and try to contain them till they calmed down. If they did hurt me, well then it was my fault so I deserved it

          Yeah, I guess that's where the old saying "never underestimate anyone" comes in, which was exactly what I done regarding the two dames in OP.
          I was just like "what are they gonna do? They are just two drunk Twunts."
          Learned my lesson that night, man.

        And if they couldn't handle that in a fight, they really should have thought about that one first. If you strike someone, you lose the right not to be struck. Period.

        And there is common sense involved in this one, too. If you are going to hit a guy you need to have a very quick backup move in case he's still standing after the first swing. Trust me on this one.

            Shortly after getting out of the military many years ago, one night I came home late at night from a nightclub. My keys didn't seem to fit the doorlock and after several attempts at unlocking the door, a girl suddenly opened it and bashed me in the face with her fist, knocking me down. When I tried to get up she started kicking me, wailing on me and screaming. My apt was right next door, having just moved in a few days before. She thought I was a burglar, LOL! Blocking most of her hits while explaining what happened, though, really was the right thing to do. Turns out she was also ex-military. Just a few moments of restraint stretched out into nearly a year of apologies from her and a personally attentive, accentuated 'healing' process.

      Yes.

      In the situation you describe, if you were unable to walk away or sufficiently defend yourself you should have put the leader of the two straight down.

    Bravo75,

    You poor fellow. You went through hell just because you have a Northern accent.

    Under the laws of Karma, faith will punish them - they probably will be thrashed and beaten up badly by other women in another pub somewhere in Essex. You don't have to do anything man!

            This reminds me of a situation that happened to me 7 years ago. A woman rear ended my car at a red light, when I got out of my car, the woman walked up to me and started cursing at the top of her lungs.

            I was surprised because she rear ended me, and it was her fault. I told her I was calling the cops and walked back toward my car, she stepped in front of me, and said she was going to kick me a@s and made some sort of karate stance, I started to laugh, and this really pissed her off, I am 6'5 and weighed 240 pounds.

            I looked into my car and saw my 8 yr old daughter looking at me scared to death.

            I got back into my car, and the lady stood at my window screaming and hollering, cops came, and come to find out lady just found out husband was cheating, and she said I looked like her husband.

            I have since changed my hair style and lost 33 pounds..lol...

    On the one hand besides protecting yourself by restraining them, I don't see why a woman thinks she can hit someone and get away with it because she is a woman.

    Some of the old movies woman smack a guy across the face and the guy just stands there. I don't think so in this day and age and rightly so. If you hit somebody expect to be hit back.

    On the other hand I would have more fun having them arrested for assault and battery. It would hurt them more (and for longer) than smacking them back. Once you hit them back then it is 'he-said-she-said' on who took the first punch.

        No you are probably just smart. (and it is refreshing to hear the 'gentleman' thing when we hear so much about male on female abuse...)

        I had an abusive-when-drunk husband once - I knew I had no chance in hell of defending myself when he was in a rage.

        So I waited until he broke his leg and couldn't get up very fast - then I broke his nose for him - did you know those aluminum crutches bend? I couldn't even break his skull, just the nose.

        ... then I broke his heart by 'kicking him to the curb'.

        I'd say I definitely won that round...

          Yikes. Women abusers should be put in the same category as peadophiles, rapists etc. I was watching film the other night with the missus about a women being abused, can't remember the name of it. I swear to god, it was the first time I ever cried watching a movie. Damn, can't remember the name of that film, it was brilliant. Think it was based on a true story, she ended up becoming a big spokeswoman for abused women or something.

          Edit: I had a bit of a whinge watching "Good Will Hunting" at the "it's not your fault" scene. Mind you, I was drinking that night.

      There used to be a time when there were people called "ladies" and "gentleman".
      During that era a man never hit a woman.
      Men opened doors for women, pulled out chairs to seat a woman,
      and there was a tradition of "ladies first".

      Then, around the late sixties - early seventies, came a thing called "Womens' Lib".

      Which began with good intentions, but somehow got twisted around
      to the point where opening a door for woman, or letting a woman go first
      is looked upon by women as degrading and chauvinistic.
      Most men were puzzled by this. Up until then they were still be told by their fathers the "old-age" traditions. It took some time and more than a few insults for being polite to women, (such opening a door and letting the "lady" go first), for the men catch on. In fact many of us (men) still aren't quite sure what's wrong with being polite and treating a woman with respect.

      The terms "lady" and "gentileman" were forgotten and the practice of being a lady or a gentileman ceased to exit.

      So, having said that, I will say that, with treating a woman different than a man being poitically incorrect, if a woman hit me with intent to do harm, I would, relunctantly, hit her back.

        Might have been a quirk of the past -- when wearing overalls and not shaving legs was in vogue for women -- but most successful independent *young* women I know have no problem if a guy holds the door for them. In fact, they'll hold the door for guys too, which is cool by me.

        And NOW, the terms mean NOTHING! SOME think gentleman is gentle-man, and thus they call ALL men gentlemen, ESPECIALLY "representatives" in the US congress. ONE PROBLEM! What about the WOMEN? Well, women representatives are called gentle women! I guess they feel that they can't take the term lady which NOW means every woman and ESPECIALLY the wife married to the guy that less than 600 people, in the area now called the US, and various other places, elected president.

        UNREAL! OH, and what about SIR? Well NOW, sometimes WOMEN are called sir!!!!!!!!

        This world has certainly changed.

        You know guys... Doing this just DEVALUES the words!

        OK, maybe you have seen CSPAN, etc... and noticed them calling one another DISTINGUISED GENTLE MAN/WOMAN. NO NO NO!!!!!!! Well, here is a movie about a CONMAN that is threatened by such a JERK. He is NO gentleman, and certainly NOT distinguished, but FAR more than THEY! HERE is the punchline....


        LOOK at where we have gone! This kind of stuff happens EVERY blasted day! YEAH, even the MANY days they are in RECESS!!!!!!! RECESS!!!!!!!! I wonder how many took the job ONLY for RECESS!!!!!!

    Once in my life.

    I was probably 14-15 and there was this BIG girl always harassing me in school. One day she pushed me to the wrong side and called my mother a freaking name - and I hit her really bad in her jaw.

    From that day on, she never harassed any kid. But she was scary dude.

    I was bullied by a girl all through the sixth grade. This chick was huge and fought like a man too. So when I found out she was after me I was rightfully concerned. I almost made it all the way through the school year avoiding her after school on the walk home. (Yeah, kids walked to school back then). One day she caught me at my parents house and pushed me down to the ground. I promptly popped up and planted one on her nose. I can still see the look of surprise on her face too when I did. Once she registered what happened she ran home crying and I literally felt like I had lost a hundred pounds. She had hounded me for what seemed liked forever. I later ran into her as an adult and she said that I had devastated her that day because she had had a crush on me for years. So I guess a fellow can't win either way when it comes to hitting girls back.

    It depends on how hard the girl hits. If she's weak and smaller than you, it's best just to subdue her until someone comes or she calms down. Maybe, if you can't get a hold of her, then just push her down and walk away. Not body slam, but push her away. Now if she hits like a man and has the intent to do you serious harm like a guy would, then I believe in self defense regardless of sex. Some women think they can just hit a guy with no retaliation because some guys believe you should never hit a woman, even if she's as strong as you and started the whole thing. What are you supposed to do, just stand there and take the beating to your face until you get knocked out? I don't think so. So it all depends on if the girl is strong and can fight or not I suppose.

    An Aikido fighting approach would be best in such a situation, so the person's own force is applied against themselves and you don't have to actually hit them. There is politics in life and it works against a guy to be associated with hitting a girl, whatever the context. If I ran a bar or club, I'd hire female bouncers for that very reason. Here's why, speaking in general terms:
    One, a guy plain doesn't want to hit a girl.
    Two, a guy doesn't want to be known as the dude who got beat up by a girl.
    Three, research suggests that female bouncers, like female cops, are more likely to try to find a diplomatic solution to problems than their male counterparts.

      Absolute best reason not to get in a fight with a girl.
      I know a few females that could bet the crap out of me and I sure as hell don't want to give them a reason to do it. Only one of them is bigger then me so it would be a double whammy.

      I worked as bouncer in my college days. Every drunk we tossed would fight back at least a little in some way or another. I don't think a female bouncer would be able to negotiate her way out of that. Drunks are not diplomatic. They respond best to a heavier hand than theirs grabbing their shirt collar and escorting (or dragging!) them to the door with force.

        That's because someone used to having a heavy-handed approach and getting by with it is likely to think that's the only way to do things. A club owner I know has found the exact opposite to be true. Male customers are less likely to try to fight female bouncers, and female bouncers can apply force when they have to but are less likely to go berserk. I've never gone to bars or clubs much, yet I have definitely seen male bouncers going berserk and being way more abusive than necessary.

    You wrote - "I told them to **** off and leave me alone". Should you have hit back? Depends on what exactly you said. If you said - "Ladies, is it possible to please leave me alone. I've had a long, hard day. I know you find my accent funny, but please, not now." Then you moved away. Then, yes.

    But if you had said - "You bbbbbbb, ckck off. Get the shtt outta here and leave me alone"...and your voice was a tad louder than the music playing in the background, then maybe not.

    However, I don't condone what they did.

      My sister has had advanced martial arts training (karate and judo). I doubt she'd have to hit them since she's good at diplomacy, but would probably thrash them if pushed to it.

      My take for what it's worth is;

      In general I would not hit a woman.

      However if she has a gun or a knife and has the intent of causing grievous bodily harm or death then she will be treated no differently than a man in that circumstance.

      But in general no. If a woman is just punching me nah. my ex wife punched me in the face on 3 occasions with those big honkin rings and each time I just put her over my knee and spanked her. She just needed to be reminded is all.

      But with a deadly weapon in their hand, sorry you just became a man....ooops.

    Mike Tyson has his own twist on this. I read an interview where he was asked "What was the hardest punch you ever threw?" He said it was when he hit one of his wives. (Robin, if I remember right, an itty bitty little thing) He said he thought she was going to go through the wall behind her.

    The guy doing the interview moved on to the next question without comment.

    It might not completely apply to this topic. There was no suggestion that she hit him first.

      Spoken like a man who has never been in a real relationship. There is nothing funny about a properly pissed off woman. *Shudders*

      If my life is not in immediate danger (and even then booking it is the first option I'm looking for), then I don't lay a hand on a woman. Period. There is nothing right about that at all.

    By law, at least here in Australia, you are allowed to apply necessary force to appropriate an arrest (i.e. when you have witnessed a crime). As they assaulted you, you witnessed it. You are allowed to effect a citizens arrest, using as much force as necessary, but not more.

    As atrained fighter, you may have gotten away with punching one in the face or shinkick to the thigh, just to let her taste the power of a serious hit, which would hopefully stop her. Then you could be more gentle with the other one who would hopefully have started using her brain after seeing her friend get nailed.

    Basically, if they're using closed-hand techniques, they are the ones who have taken it to that level of the force continuum.

    You could actually grab a clublock and use that, as filled-hand is the next step up from closed hand.

    I learnt that from security training. Guards have the same rights as citizens here.

    Sounds to me that your incident was quite a violent one, but there's other things to consider besides the women themselves.

    If you strike back and a bypasser (other males for example) only sees you attack then you'll have more trouble on your hands. There are many males who'd intervene if they seen that - some out of moral belief and some just to act the hero.

    If those factors weren't an issue and you are clear of not landing yourself in police cell and court, I'd of suggested that you give them both a knuckle sandwich without hesitation. It would shock me to think anyone believes that kicking someone in the balls is acceptable regardless of their sex. I've known of some very nasty incidents involving that. I'm sure a lot of people who live by the "Don't hit a female" rule probably haven't ever found themselves in situations which would challenge their intergrity and perhaps change their opinion. It's all too easy to be a pacifist on Easy Street.

    My parents returned from a holiday a few years ago with a tale of a butch, ex-military woman shouting at her 7 year old daughter by the poolside to swim more lengths whilst she was parading backwards and forth with a knife. There were apparently men signalling to each other to just flying kick her into the pool but it ended by someone snatching the knife.

    Stay safe but don't let yourself be abused by anyone.

      In reference to those who say "You never should"; Let's change the dynamic then and tap into another realm of brainwashing:

      You're in the military. It's now perfectly fine to go to the extreme of murder (as opposed to the street where it isn't). This includes females, who, hypothetically would be willing to hurt / kill you also.

      So, what's the deal now? Instead of the unwritted civvy street rule ("don't hit females"), you're now being dictated to by a government rule.

      How many people now then, regardless of circumstance, wouldn't fight back with a female? Before you answer, as a brief note; If you're in 100% support of your armies you are already condoning fighting against females - many of which are innocent.

      The clinching factor is self defence. If anyone feels it necessary to defend themselves (or have people defend for them) in the latter situation but not the other, it could be argued that they perhaps they lack a serious amount of moral integrity.

      I can't help think that perhaps males would be greater "men" if they were more realistic as opposed to propping themselves up with nonesensical blanket rules which, as with most blanket rules, could never be adhered to each varying circumstance.

      A male portraying and announcing a female as a defenseless being doesn't help to make him a greater man. It only gives light to his ignorance.

    Definitely getting the post count up with this one. I am a woman and I have sons and daughters. I always teach both the girls and boys not to pick a fight but don't back down if you are cornered. If there is no other way out then fight to protect yourself. Try not to kill the other person but make sure every knows it was self defense.

    Some of the most vicious criminals are females.

    What you did was right, you did not hit back because you know you can easily knock them down. Being a gentlemen to those girls is one of the best thing that you've ever done in your life. Even though we know that you have the right to hit back and they will surely deserve that for not acting proper in public.
