Here are my arguments for this. (I'm talking slap for slap ferocity for ferocity)
1. If woman in the military are now able to perform the same roles than they are equally strong (debatable)
2. If asked in general it is never "right" to slap someone but rarely is there reprimand if a woman does it. If a guy does it its uncivil and if a woman does it its almost accepted.
3. If nature if one animal shows aggression to another there is a face off or 1 backs down, the aggressor has accepted the risk of a face off and injury.


To be clear if possible guys should not hit back and I FIRMLY believe they should never initiate it and to be clear whoever lays any hits is doing wrong and is in violation of the law.

This is all in the context of a male and female 20+ years old not in any kind of an intimate relationship. Acquaintances - friends

If anyone care my personal philosophy is not to hit anyone unless its true self defense in a corner or someones life is at risk but I would totally understand if a guy did it
 
Where I'm from, that's not okay. If I see someone trying to hit a girl, you bet your *** I'm gonna kick his.
 
My viewpoint is that it seriously depends on why she hit him. If it's for GOOD CAUSE, then no he should not be allowed to slap her back. However, if it is WITHOUT CAUSE, then he is free to react and defend himself as he would with any man. As for what falls under the classification of "Good Cause".... I would suggest that any infraction of the normal operation of the relationship and/or household is sufficient to qualify as "Good Cause" so long as it is His fault.
 
I wouldn't do it, but from a purely non-emotional standpoint I understand that it is a double-standard. Especially in light of demands for equal rights, and so on.
 
A slap is hardly physically harmful. I wouldn't retaliate. If she was just continuously slapping me or something and wouldn't stop then I would retaliate but only to stop her from harming me and not in order for me to cause harm to her.
 
A slap? No, I wouldn't condone returning it.

However, if she balled up her fist and took a real swing at a dude, I wouldn't fault him one bit for knocking her down on her ass. I don't give a damn what you have between your legs - if you're man enough to throw a punch, you're man enough to take one.

Exactly. Now the moment she balls up that fist and throws a PUNCH, then all bets are off. A former roommate of mine learned that the hard way.

I propose a scenario then, 5'5 guy 5'7 girl girl is 165 lbs well muscled athletic type. Boy is regular build nothing fancy. they standing watching other runners one of his friends whispers a remarks about her(dirty). She though it was him so she lays a blow that knocks out 2 teeth. She raises her hand for another blow cant run so he can either knock her outta the way or take another hit.

Would you still kick him if he hit her back?
 
Females dont want to be equal we want to be Superior

if you take away that notion is it still wrong to you (females) to be hit under any non life or death circumstances

She hits me hard enough to knock out teeth she's likely to be staring down the barrel of a gun a few seconds later.

Well i quess it depends on her phiscal build if shes not so verry strong compared to the male and if she slapped a guy i dont think it would hurt the guy verry much and if he slapped her back it would seorusly hurt the female but if shes a behumlth or hulk size it would not be so bad , besides when a male starts slapping a female next thing you know it could esculate into punches
 
Ethic of reciprocation / golden rule. Treat others the way you wish to be treated.

You should never strike others in aggression. Likewise, no one should ever strike you in aggression.

If someone else strikes you, you have every right to strike back or otherwise stop the aggressor from attacking you further.

Would it not be sexist to say that you cannot do so based on the gender of the aggressor?
 
It depends upon the nature of the slap and why. If it was teasing, certainly not. If it was some hyterical act then some physical response might be called for, though not necessariliy a slap. A thumb or wrist lock twisting her down would generally be sufficient to gain control and bring her back to reality (bouncer stuff with out-of-her-mind drunk/drugged out women).

Women, like guys, can go violently crazy. One time I flipped a woman over in the air onto the bar - trying to minimize how hard she landed and then telling her "only one of us has balls." Then some of the women there who actually were tough then threw her out rather forcefully. (A butch lesbian who warned everyone she had a black belt and made it clear she was looking for some guy to prove how tough she was.) And that was in my past before I was my new "enlightened self" - and if she had been a he I would have thrown him instead into the floor.

On the otherhand, some guys earn being slapped. And kicked.
 
I'm 75 years old, and I have never slapped a woman, nor have I ever been slapped. If I should ever be slapped, I would just walk away, never to return. If it was on my turf or over my stuff, the only physical reaction would be a boot in the butt helping you toward the door.

Curious, though, if the question purely theoretical, or is it something personal?
 
Through the haze decades in my past, the times I was slapped, I deserved it!
