Hitting A Woman?

When the hoe won't give up all the money.

Go ahead, call me a bad man.
 
Maybe not with a fist, but a consensual BDSM scene would be an acceptable time to hit a woman.

I'll give it a shot.

The morality of using physical force is partly dependent upon the amount needed to subdue your opponent and the amount of force that your opponent can use on you. (For example, disciplining a child with a scythe is unacceptable.) Women on average are less physically imposing so they need less force to subdue and have less force at their beck and call. Therefore, the morality of hitting an average unarmed woman is different from hitting an average unarmed man.

If a woman comes screaming at you with a katana, feel free to use your best haymaker.

Yep, pretty much.
 
When attacked, definitely. I'm quite the lightweight, and it's quite possible that a woman who enters an altercation with me will be physically stronger (or at least have more mass). My health comes before chivalry...

On my own initiative, I don't hit people, period. Brawling is for brutes.

I'll add that when I think about women being hit, I think of domestic violence, where women are vastly more likely than men to be victims. I don't think it particularly sexist to point that out.

Only if by vastly you mean in a ratio of 6:4.

Is there any circumstances in which hitting a woman would be considered acceptable? And by hitting I don't mean just a slap, I mean with a fist.

Woman can be as dangerous as a man. I've seen women attack men with weapons. If a woman comes at you with a knife or a gun or any other deadly weapon then you can hit her.

Overall I hate violence targeted at women though.

Which is quite right, using the averages. But not having met Oliver or the women in question what if he looked like Woody Allen and she was Chyna?
 
I hit a woman once. Not a proud moment. There were factors however. She was my fiance. I had just found out that she was cheating on me with my "best friend". She walked up to me all sad looking and held out her arms. In mid-hug she kneed me in the balls and raked her nails across my face from top to bottom across my eyes. To this day I claim I didn't hit a women I merely hit swung at what was hurting me to stop it. That was the only time in my life I have literally seen red.

Well, I recently watched a German documentary about men getting hit on a regular basis without being able to do anything about it in their love, shame and worries about loosing their children. Their experience was that they were ridiculed by their environment, and probably would be ridiculed by some posters in this very thread in here as well.

Me, too. And even if I felt like beating her to death, she "only" received a slap in her face for doing what she did. People who never experienced such an extreme situation in which you literally see red while everything you believed in falls apart, don't know what it is like.

Just to be clear, these men were ridiculed for *not* hitting the woman back? Is that why you hit back, so you wouldn't be ridiculed?

Uh, no. The fact that there is domestic violence against men from their women has nothing to do with me. They were, however, ridiculed for the very fact that they let it happen.

Their explanation were: "Didn't want to break up the family and lose my children", "Didn't wan't my friends and colleagues know about that shameful fact" etc...

I'm sure that's true in some cases. In other cases, I'm sure, the violence was not returned because the man didn't feel the need to retaliate with violence.
