No it's never right though a lot of men will try to twist it around to make you believe that they are in the right to hit you if you strike them first. However, men outpower women and women generally get the worse of the hitting part especially if the guy has a short fuse! I know all about it as I was a spousal abuse counselor for some years! And also a victim of abuse a long time ago! Any more info needed on this subject just let me know! A man should be taught to never strike a woman, some are, some aren't and if they were raised in a home with physical abuse they are more likely to keep the vicious cycle going. In mens' defense somewhat I will say that noone should strike anyone, be it man or woman! Sorry...I will stop now! (:

Chemlover7, that's a NO NO !!! A man just WALK AWAY. Guys that hit women need to think, what if a man is hitting my sister or any female relative, guys you wouldn't want that.

No never strike a woman unless your in a life threatening situation and fear for your life

In just one word!

My wife told me numerous times that if I ever hit her I would not wake up the next morning .... I never touched her (in anger)!  :o)

its wrong for a man to hit a woman but its also wrong for a woman to hit a man.My late husbands first wife was violent and agressive but he never reported it to the police,as he said,he wouldnt be believed.domestic abuse works both ways

A man who strikes a woman is nothing more that a coward. If she actually strikes you first, just walk away and let situation cool down.

You also asked a chivalry question earlier...everything OK?

Well there are obviously exceptions to every rule... to defend your own life I think it would serve her right pretty justifiably, if that's what you wish. I don't believe in hitting women though, it does bother me though that with this feminist movement, females wish to be 'treated as equals', but a man's role and a female's role are totally different.. I always work for females in retail and they usually don't do a good job, because they bring their emotions in to it so much. Yet they demand equality.. women should be respected for being female, yet we are tending towards treating them like males.. this world has taken a strange turn. We have forgotten the appreciation of difference.. dating girls in the west is like dating a boy.

I agree, there is no reason for one person to hit another. I have known violence. However, I also know that there are many weman who will take advantage of a good mans restriant. If a woman is going to hit a man like a man she had better be prepared ti take a hit.

no its never right

Never in either case.

if her voice get loud I walk away never mind hitting, and no Its never right to hit a woman. tony

I'd say never! I also say the woman shouldn't hit the man either!

Never in either case.

No it's not right for either one two strike each other.Remember the law works both ways.

no bloody way

part one of that question is NEVER!!! part two if a woman is threatening your families life or yours and sure harm is the results don't just stand by and watch but let her have it!!
This is a question of violence and the laws should reflect justice to any and all abuse equally, take out domestic abuse and change it to criminal assault for both sexes.

In Illinois, whomever files the police report first, wins the case. So if someone hits you, take out your cell phone and file a police report and take a picture of your bloody nose for the police. Once the woman is taken off in hand cuffs, enjoy the peace and quiet and have a beer and watch the game and call it a night. Then first thing in the morning, go clean out the joint accounts, put the cash in a safe place and get a divorce lawyer. That way when she gets out of jail, you have all your ducks in a row and you will end up with everything including the alimony.

NO,NO,NO !!!!.Men are usually physically stronger and more aggressive than women.I was brought up to believe that men don't hit women full stop end of story no matter what the provacation.I've been put to the test twice.First time was when I was having a really bitter and personal arguement with my gf of 4 years.She knew exactly what buttons to push n how to cut right to the bone.It didnt help that I'd polished off a bottle of red wine n round 8 beers at the time !!!!
At the height of the row she got me so furious I lashed out.She was shouting in my face but I turned round 180 degrees and punched the wall.Now I shouldnt have done it but it proved that even when raging I meant what I've always said,I won't hit a woman.Course she told her mother who said was only matter of time before I hit her but 20 years on thats closet I've come.Another woman punched and kicked me i walked away.You don't hit women.Full stop,end of story !!!!

H3ll yes, as long as the woman gets to reciprocate with a baseball bat, just to even things up.
