When is it okay for a man to hit a woman?

Thunda's hypothetical woman hits hard. Besides, like you said, those two are completely different. I thought we were talking about the same actions. For example, the woman uppercuts a man, and leaves a mark, or the man slaps the woman. Also, if men accept the slap in the face as an emotional statement, so should the women when it's done to them.

In the end, all of this shouldn't happen. I am mentioning all this because of the assumption that this woman hit Thunda already.

I have Thunda on my ignore list because I consider his logic to be fruity (read: idiotic,) so I have no way of knowing (or caring) what he said. I read your post only.

Even if a girl is going totally psycho on you, she still won't do half the damage a guy would if he was going psycho. If a girl hits you, LEAVE. The thing that fucks with a girl the most is if you CUT the conversation off, and leave, not saying anything. That's more damaging to a chick emotionally than a slap will be to you. But if you do hit her, no matter what you said here on the internet, the cops will not believe you. "She hit me first" will do you no good in the police station.
