I was at a gathering with a few friends and a topic popped up, this topic was “ is it ok for a lady to hit a guy and not expect a hit back”. About 70% of the people in the room thought it was alright for a man to hit a woman, and about 30% though it as absolutely absurd. Personally I believe that hitting a woman under any circumstance is unacceptable, however some women can take advantage of men. This country is a country where I believe, women are more favoured when it comes to the topics of domestic violence. A woman can lie and pretend that a man hit her, and the man will be done for it, however if a man was to falsely accuse a woman for hitting him, people wouldn’t pay much attention to it, or put it on the front line of newspapers.
Different people have different views to this topic, and I guess it depends on the individual. A friend of mine stated that she could forgive a guy if he cheated on her, but she would never forgive him if he laid his hands on her.
A lady stated “If we as woman do something wrong then it is acceptable to hit us, even if its for the smallest of things like leaving the toilet seat down".
Another reply was “Yes. But not just for the hell of it. And not ridiculously”.
“What makes it any less okay to hit a woman over a man? If you say that a woman is physically inferior, you're being sexist. What if a bodybuilder woman came up to an obese, nonathletic male and assaulted him? Would the situation still be worse if the genders were reversed? I thought people wanted equal rights, not a matriarchy. I thought that's what feminism was all about”
An opposer sated “No way, ever! No man has the right to put his hands on a woman. I don't care if you are a bodybuilder and he's skinny and anorexic. I don't care what a woman does, no male should put his hands on her”.
Well.. personally I don’t think it is right for a man to ever hit a woman, but women have to be respectful to men, don’t do what you do not want to be done to you.
I throw it to you out there, what do you think?, hit or no hit…. Leave comments below
No hit, although I have several ways of hitting back but not physically.
