re: At what point, if any, are you okay with a man defending himself against a women?

Well if he’s pepper sprayed, I doubt he’s gonna be throwing haymakers. It’s designed to incapacitate a person.

It really depends on the woman, the man, the scenario, and threat level. Angry woman hitting cause she’s mad- no biggie. Crazy bitch trying to kill me- I’m gonna do whatever it takes to defend myself. A woman can only push the envelope so far and expect to be seen as the weaker sex.

It's assault. It's ridiculous that we allow women this cop out, assault is assault.

Depends IMO. I’m not gonna go ham on some broad cause she slaps me. It ain’t gonna hurt me, but the lawsuit and criminal charges I’ll likely get for reciprocating aren’t worth it.

Now if she decides to try and be Rhonda Rousey (sp) and get ultra physical, I’m gonna do what I gotta do and to hell with the consequences.

Again, it all depends.

Apparently so.

Unless you have trustworthy male witnesses it is best to run away or let her get a few licks in so you have some proof. Still probably get beat up by the cops for it though

wow

I guess I’m just a romantic fool.

If she's a big old mean-nasty woman, I'm going to run screaming like a girl scout from a charging pig.

People have tried to kill me I the past, it is no fun. Better to maintain a low profile or run to a defensible position and live to get beat up or run again on another day.

I stopped fighting folks a long time ago.



edited to add:


In the aftermath of an auto accident. Stay the hell our of the punch zone. What the OP described happens all the time in the first few minutes after an accident. Better to keep 6-8 feet away, until the Popos get there. If someone comes at you, run. If they seem really angry, run even faster.

And I don’t understand if it’s people who once loved one another can be so hateful and deliberately hurt each other. Maybe I’m just a wuss :/

Im with my second wife and I've never even raised my voice to them. I actually fondly remember all the women I've had relationships with

I'm pretty romantic though.

Like I said, I’m a fool and expect everyone to feel as I do. Some just aren’t capable of that. And that’s not a good or bad thing, just different than me.
