Would you strike a woman...

[hotdog]

I'd strike her with my boyish good looks and a dash of charm to pacify the situation. But I wouldn't watch anyone I care about get their ass beat without helping, even if it means just pulling them apart as in this case.

if she attacked your girlfriend/wife/ unprovoked? Or would you try to pull her off first and restrain her? Please keep in mind we are not talking attack with a knife or a weapon, just plain old body parts. Would the size of the attacker play a role? How about if your s/o started the fight but ended up on the losing end?

I'd try to stop them with minimal damage, pretty much no matter what was happening. To be honest, it's almost impossible to imagine circumstances under which I'd cut loose and actually try to hurt someone of the opposite sex.

I don't care who it is, if ANYONE attacks a loved one of mine, I WILL make them stop. If I can't pull them off then I'll put them on the ground. Male or female. If they are attacking me that is one thing - my sig other would probably do the same to me. But if you attack her without restraint, I'll return the favor and put you in your place.

I have no business attacking someone of the opposite gender, but if I have to choose between the well being of my loved one or the person ATTACKING them, I will choose my loved one. I'm not going to let them get injured or worse because I'm too caught up in my epic moral battle with my conscience. I will make them stop whether I can pull them off, beat them off, or shoot them. I'll deal with moral difficulties when I'm done protecting my family.

On a side note- I'd just do whatever it took to make her stop. And if she had a boyfriend nearby I promise you I'd definitely be hitting him no matter what it took to get her off if he didn't help me to begin with.

If a male ever hit my wife... I can't say for certain but if I managed to get the upper hand on him I'm not sure I'd forgive him enough to quit hitting. >_>

Is executing a powerbomb actually striking a woman?

I say this because I am under no delusion that there no women out there who could outmatch me in size, strength or combat skill -- there are -- and if one of them should flip their wig, I'm not about to let myself or my friends get hurt because I'd rather hold on at all costs to some antiquated notion of what it is to be a "gentleman". I'm both gentleman and realist, thank you very much.

^ Without doubt, if I encounter something close to this thread's scenario, I will make it an S.O.P. to test if the "woman" has "balls" first before I proceed to the next step... Otherwise, I will proceed to what the common primates do during survival mode, srsly. Because at times like that, I know chivalry is null and void, haha! 😉

Fact 1: Wearing skirt is impractical in some places nowadays.
Fact 2: Guys wear wigs and earrings nowadays.
Fact 3: It's hard to check if one had 'sex change' 😱
Fact 4: I don't know if I could get any serious on this...

The average man can overpower the average woman. If the female attacker in question had a weapon, the person doing the protecting would have every right to knock her ass out. If a good shove didn't work and she kept attacking, then again, knock her out.

I agree completely with you Annie.

 

[Excess]

Two words: FALCON PAUNCH!!!

No really, unless she had a weapon, holding her would be good. Unless she was one of those bodybuilder steroid types, then I'd throw a desk lamp at her.

 

[EC4me]

I'd take this scenario as a free license. I'd walk up behind the attacker and start grabbing her tits and ass. I'd goose her cooch and then start tickling her until she's helpless.

First of all, given this scenario, if the attacker were a man or a woman, the first thing I would do is overpower them and restrain them. It's much more mentally and physically demeaning to a violent attacker to restrain them and force them to submit. If someone wants to violate the person I love, then I want them to suffer, and to pin someone down and force them into a submissive state will strain their psyche and break down their ego.

Secondly, if they are strong enough (or, in Emperor's girlfriend's case, wiry enough, lol) for me to have an exceedingly difficult time restraining them, then I will use a punch or other strike to get them into a more complacent state.

Thirdly, for those talking about weapons: if you know how to disarm a person, you know that you SHOULDN'T try unless you are forced to. If you are, you must control the weapon, not the person who's holding it.

OMG this is THE funniest response to this thread. Viper, I've seen some of your clips. No offense, but I think most women could easily resist your best efforts of overpowering them. I know I could. 😛
