I believe Hitting Anyone , whether man or woman is wrong(except on the ground of self defense ). I don't believe in violence.
but we all have seen stories of woman stabbing their lovers to death (I don't know how that happens tho) , and we all have heard about this popular idea - "Never hit a woman 'no matter what happens '". . as it seems, it is an absolute law, with no limitations attached. (..it says, 'NO MATTER WHAT'" . I see that a lot of men agree to this absolute law and have pledge never to hit a woman 'no matter what " . while some don't agree with the law.
.
so in a case where u had a little misunderstanding with woman, and she points a gun at you threatening to shoot you - but by luck, you are in a very good strategic position to knock her off... what would you do. will you hit her or act like a 'gentle man' by taking chances with your life? or a situation where the lady tries to attack you by grabing your balls and attempts to squeeze it, with the pain -what will you do ?

Very very okay when it comes to matter of life and death unless you want to end up as a manure.

Go ahead and hit her. It's easy.
The hard part is convincing a Magistrate that it was in self defence.
If the magistrate is female.
Say bye-bye to freedom

Those men that support "no matter what" thing are hypocrite, they're the real woman beater. In as much I totally disagree with beating of women to some extent I don't support "no matter what". Some things are dealt with in a manner it will not repeat itself again.

no no in self defense just smile and tell her well done ma ,keep asking stupid questions
