Seems like there are people wishing they had a reason to test their manhood against a woman. That's sad.

Well, I'm sure as hell not about to test my manhood against a dude. I know my limitations.

slightly off-topic but I want to vent. If I work with a spiteful bitch who has the nerve to steal and remove a patients specimen from my work station just to get me in trouble (obviously I have no proof or that would be simple just get her fired) am I justified in punching her in the mouth?

I was talking to the patient after the procedure, I hear her and her buddy laughing hysterically in the next room before I even knew anything was wrong. I turned to finish labeling all my specimens and cant find one specimen. My immediate thought was maybe i knocked it in the trash with the papers and empty containers. as i start searching i realize i am being watched and shortly she comes and asks what i am looking for, i tell her and she walks back into the other room and resumes laughing. I turned the trash upside down and searched EVERYTHING in that area. It was just gone. There is literally no place it could have gone. She even made a small "jest" later saying she found it. another girl asked her where and she just shut up and wouldnt answer or say anything else. So.. yes.. this stupid little twat is a problem to me, patient safety, and I am sure just violated HIPAA or something too. If I stop posting for a while someone come bail me out.

You may be justified in laying the smacketh down, but according to Mili,, she'll most likely roundhouse your face off. Doesn't matter how big or bad you may think you are.

The second fight in that video above is horribly one-sided. Girl is sitting down, not even apparently interested in fighting. The other girl keeps going and going. Eventually the girl stands up and just kicks her ass.

All of this underscores the point that fighting as a form of conflict resolution is just about the most ridiculous thing we do as humans.

So, the only time you should be able to use any sort of retaliatory force is when you fear for your life?

Striking someone after they strike you isn't just to protect yourself but also to deter them from doing it again.

My legal answer would depend on many variables, but I am drawing a moral distinction between striking a woman and striking a man. Maybe, at 32 years of age, I'm officially old school, but, in my mind, there is a pretty stark moral distinction between slapping a man and slapping a woman, assuming no extenuating circumstances.

Actually, if you're "old school", then you'd have no problem popping a woman who'd just punched you. I'm 56, and when I was Hyde's age the thought of a woman punching a man unprovoked in a bar was inconceivable...but if she did, then there was no problem in her getting hit back because she asked for it (now waits for someone to dig up the lame comparison of the old argument that a woman couldn't be raped if she wore suggestive clothing "because she was asking for it").

Fuck "moral distinctions". Women cried for decades for equality, and if they want it they should expect to be treated equally if they start going around physically assaulting people. Do you really think that women can go around punching men and be exempt from retaliation just because they're female?

As you know, I live in Hawaii. They are a lot of big-assed local gals here. What if a 6', 200+lb Samoan gal took a swing at me because I wouldn't dance with her, or buy her a drink, or whatever? Now what if some 5'6", 150 lb drunk dude got all brave and wanted to hit me? By your "moral compass", it would be wrong for me to strike the Samoan gal back, but OK for me to flat out beat the shit of the guy, even though the Samoan gal would probably wipe the floor with the smaller dude if they got into it.

I'm not saying you wouldn't be justified in the eyes of the law. I'm just saying she would have to be an irregularly tough and trained female for ME to feel justified in hitting her. Grab her hands, cover yourself, walk away, whatever. I just can't imagine punching a female for hitting me. I'm not saying I'm some indestructible machine, but I've been hit by dudes and not punched back. Seemed like they were plenty deterred when they realized they hit me as hard as they could and I was all "chill out and really think if you want to do that again".

Basically, all I'm saying is that I can take a punch rather well. If the chick breaks my nose and pops a tooth out with one punch and seemed like she was thirsty for more of my blood, I'd defend myself. However, if some drunk chick slap-punched me, I'd be able to stifle my manly aggression to remove myself from the situation without rearranging her make-up.

Just so I am clear on your scenario, does the 5'6" dude want a drink or a dance?

I guess we just had different male role models growing up, then. I'm under no false assumptions that domestic violence and other violence against women was any less prevalent years ago, but the values I grew up with would not allow for striking a woman, absent extenuating circumstances, regardless of whether she struck first.

Are you seriously arguing that a 6'0" 240 pound man is justified in striking a woman who struck him first because some women have historically sought equal access to the ballot box, education and pay?

Your whole scenario is exactly why my previous post included the language about extenuating circumstances.

I want to be clear about something, too. I am not condemning Carlos Hyde or suggesting that he did strike this woman or should be suspended. I have no clue what happened on the night in question. I'm merely responding to some in this thread who seem to be suggesting that a large, physically domineering man striking a woman is somehow less morally reprehensible if she struck him first.
