And face to face with an attacker (gender not stated!)... armed with a baseball bat and/or small veg knife. For clarity, no other persons are in the vicinity. What's your next move? A/ Try to punch and kick your way out of said corner? B/ Stand hands aloft, whilst wailing "Please don't hurt me"? C/ Fall to the floor, make like a foetus, and whimper to your mum to come and save you? (She's not actually there, remember!) D/ Other? 🤷♂️ Quite a long way from someone taking photos wouldn’t you agree? You’ve been watching too many Liam Neeson films.

Stive Pesley Posted July 3 Share Posted July 3 Let's be honest - if she wanted to press charges for assault, she would have done. But no - the offence as charged is for theft of the phone. Why would she not press charges for the assault? I know the most obvious answer to that question, but I'M NOT ONE TO GOSSIP 😂 Crewton 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I deliberately made my question a multi choice, to make it simple for you, and still you fail to answer! 🙄 So... How about we forget all about NML, Spanish nightclubs, stolen mobiles and redrag newspapers, and go back solely to your comment that I deliberately quoted in order to set up the relevancy of my little questionnaire? Namely your response of "No" to the question "Would you say a man punching a man is acceptable under certain circumstances?" The question still stands. I'm genuinely intrigued as to how you would respond to my hypothetical scenario... or a million others, to be fair! 🤷♂️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm genuinely intrigued as to how you would respond to my hypothetical scenario... or a million others, to be fair! 🤷♂️ In answer to your question I can’t think of any reasonable circumstances in which a man hitting a woman would be acceptable. In some instances it might be the only possible answer to save life but they are so rare that I can’t countenance them in my general answer. If it’s a case of ‘she hit me first’ or ‘she was asking for it’ then I’m afraid it’s still a firm no. I’m sorry if I didn’t account for a 1:1,000,000 risk situation. I’m also not sure trying to punch someone with a knife has a high success rate outside of Hollywood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like this is the weird remnants of perceived chivalry, but if we're applying equality properly, you literally treat all people the same, no?

If a woman attacks you it's not necessary to take that kind of ultra physical action. unless a weapons involved. A woman swinging a fist at you isn't the same as a tanked up 18 stone bloke. Having seen the damage a punch will do to a woman as a youngster when a bloke swings it, it's totally disproportionate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you haven't seen any of these videos where a group of gobby women take the mick out of a lone bloke on a bus, train before deciding to yank his hair and punch him? You see more agro caused by pissed up women now than you do by blokes and some of them definitely need a slap. Ram-Alf 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh is this specifically about punching, rather than physical altercations of any kind?

Exactly - the law is all about using "reasonable force" to defend yourself and if you're not armed yourself, the law is pretty relaxed about how you neutralise the threat of an assailant. The physical condition of the assailant would be one of the factors taken into account irrespective of the respective sexes. Personally, I'd prefer to be thought of as 'reprehensible' by @Anag Ram than 'dead' by my wife and family. Sweetness34 and Stive Pesley 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone who chooses to hurt a woman disprotiantly to the position of risk they are in is a w*****. I'll leave you to decide the camp your in.
