WHEN IS IT APPROPRIATE TO HIT A WOMAN - thursday october 22 2009
Is there ever a good time or is it simply unacceptable.

quotes from Topix.com and Yahoo Answers

1. There are only a few circumstances when it is ok to hit a woman. IF ; she is getting physical with anyone in your family or close friends. Or if she is literally going to kill someone.

2. Well, realisticly if a woman violently attacked me and i couldn't restrian her. id baptise her on the concrete. I don't care if she lifts weights or can fight.

3. NEVER, If you have to hit her then you don't need to be with her!

4. It's only appropriate to hit a woman if she says its okay and probably only her husband should do it to her. And not with a fist just an open hand but on the side of her head not the face.

5. Theres a difference between beating and putting a b-tch in her place. I don't condone beating, but if a woman is tough enough to hit a man, she damn well better be tough enough to get hit back

6. Never hit women. It is very wrong. Usually men that hit women don't have the guts to hit men. If you want to hit someone hit a man instead of picking on innocent women.

7. We all see the "There is NO excuse for domestic violence" stickers on the bumpers of men's or women's cars
everywhere- is this always true? What if she hits you first? No. Cheats on you, etc? No again.
