Thats the problem abusers truely believe its not there fault,

There is no contest, between a man and a woman

I was in intensive care due to my ex..........a real fooker

I hate, yes hate threads like this


Edit: Slapping is different from punching and kicking

The only time it may be considered acceptable to 'slap' anyone is if they are hysterical, then a short sharp slap will bring them down.

Otherwise NO NO a thousand Time NO

We all hate men who hit women, but domestic violence of women against men is a hidden problem. Men are so embarassed by the situation they hardly/if ever report this to the police.

I'm not being funny, but I don't understand why anyone would ask such a question. Surely it doesn't need answering, we all know it isn't acceptable, don't we?

I was driving my drunk ex back in the 1990's.....I lost my way through Derbyshire

He lost it with me, punched me so hard, I passed out at the wheel

He waited, until I came round and 'encouraged' me to drive home.....bast~rd

how awful Gins :-(

Gins I feel for you but there are times when threads like this are needed because unless the likes of us stand proud and say we have been there and no more.other people might not have the bravery to say I can do that also.

Gins having being abused isn´t a shaming thing at all. STAND TALL and shout to the world that you came out of that tunnel- I know it isn´t easy sometimes it took me years to get over the day.mares. I once bailed out of a car just because the driver shot his arm out when he was breaking so I wouldn´t hit the windscreen. Lol I didn´t I hit the ground ! .and scared the life out of the driver.

Stand tall

Thanks Ann

I now have a wonderful husband

I smacked my boss once.......... more than a smack, I punched him in the chest.

I had put up with his wandering hands for ages, finally had enough.

He never touched me again.

My relationship lasted four months. He struck a mutual work colleague and tried to warn my work mates off as he thought we were too close these were people I had worked closely with 12 hours a day for two years before the relationship started. When warning them off didn't work he tried to hit one of them in the pub. He never laid a hand on me but the signs were there and so I walked away

man or women
my motto is you can have the first hit and then ill give you what for
and you will not want to come back for more

As per DazedConfused.

The only other exception where I could "hit" anybody is in defence of a child, or in defence of someone with a severe learning difficulty where they could not defend themselves.

Apart from that, a big fat NO!

No ..Lynda ..some don't

I think your view of this adds to the problem Lynda, but I do understand where you are coming from in a way..
No it's not acceptable ..violence mental/physical from male or female is wrong but a blanket ..no point discussing this is a bit like an ostrich sticking it's head in the sand and hoping everyone has the same self control and morals as you.
. it goes nowhere to solving a growing problem

To answer the OP,,,,,,,certainly not..... but it happens in domestic affairs , unless someone being phyically abused speaks out and seeks help it will continue,some fail at keeping out of harms way in the name of love.!! because they return to the same situation on empty promises.,,,,,,,perpetual domestic hitters are cunning,

a thumper of boozy Friday night isnt the same as a thumper in domestic violence.

I don't see how my view adds to the problem Newby. the question was ....

Is there ever a case when a man hits a woman that is acceptable?

Well in my mind, if you ask that question it means you accept that there could be and possibly someone will try & give a good reason for hitting a woman, when there isn't one.

To me it's like saying, is there a case where it is acceptable to abuse a child, again no there isn't.

It's how you see things, to me there is no point in discussing it, but I didn't say you shouldn't.

I'd rather see a thread saying you shouldn't hit anyone. I've never been hit by a man or a woman, but I know it happens, and I don't need to ask anyone if they think it acceptable, because if they said it was, you'd be giving them a platform to air there view, and I wouldn't want to see that.
