I was raised to never raise a hand to a woman ever, for any reason.

As a result, in my first marriage, I was abused by all of today's definitions, to include fending off kitchen knives on multiple occasions.

However, that is beside the point.

My question, in this day of radical feminism where women are freely aggressing in the public space are the gloves off? Should we as men be free to beat the brakes off of any female not being ladylike and actively attacking?

I know what my decision is and I can live with it.

And by beating the brakes off I mean full on put the stop to it and not just holding back defensive measure only.

I guess it depends...especially with women witnesses....or any witnesses.....and I guess the level of violence you use....but sure, as long as it's her fault starting it and you need to protect yourself....

Just put them in a headlock and administer a noogie. Settles em right down every time.

My rule on hitting women is that if she comes after me with something harmful to body, like the knife you mentioned, she just grew a sack and I'll do my best to knock her out.

If a big dog tries to chew your face off, do you look under its tail before or after gouging its eyes out?
Zero tolerance for any physical abuse, regardless of who wears the skirt. Safety first.

Touch me or my family in a harmful manner and I don't care what you got going on mentally or biologically, you're gonna get hurt.

Agreed, would take a lot to me to strike out. I don't think I would hit but definitely grab hold and not let go until they calm down.

Reminds me what my dad told my sister.

"don't hit your brothers, they might let you get away with it but someday some man won't and you'll end up hurt."

Plus remember that unlike you men, we don't fight socially, i.e. to sort things out, to show someone they are wrong, or to establish dominance, etc. You generally know when to stop, and how much damage your moves may inflict. We don't, we just see red and go for it. This makes us much more dangerous when we attack in social situations, especially with a weapon, even though we are physically weaker. Excessive force is justified.

A Chuck Norris style spin kick to the head is also effective.

I don't hit women, have never had one show me deadly force, so I just don't hit women

Some women are actually men , or look like men , or wanna be a man

How do you even know these days

Grab test.

The first problem with liberal men trying to defend themselves is probably that they do not even know what a woman is!

Bill barr comic routine on this is pretty good.

Crocodile Dundee had a method I once saw in a movie that he employed to help him determine such things to some degree when in doubt.

Was taught never hit a lady but when a woman/female quits acting like a lady the gloves come off.

You go ahead and “handle” that one for me Bob,,,,,
