Should A Man Be Able to Fight Back When A Woman Strikes Him (Extremely Controversial Topic)

in life •  8 years ago 

As a survivor of domestic violence and a feminist, I am having such a hard time with this. I don't think men should hit women and I don't think women should hit men. I think the better course of action is to subdue or restrain, in either case. Both parties should be able to defend themselves but that shouldn't be by knocking the other party out. The issue is that typically, the man is much stronger than the woman and this puts her in greater danger. Also, many more women are abused and murdered by men than vice versa although it totally does happen. Idk man this is hard

I'm sorry you had to go through a domestic violence situation. Yeah it would have been nice if she would have never punched and hit him in the face or if he would have walked away and never hit her but unfortunately the situation got the best of them and they reacted in the moment.
I just don't feel that they can go by the resulting damage to determine who is at fault. I have watched a lot of MMA fights and just slightly different placement of a punch can "rock" or "stun" a fighter or cause a knock out. A person could seemingly land 10 solid punches on another fighter and then get hit in the right spot and be out cold.
I wish these two could just kiss and make up though.
