Would you hit a woman who was unarmed?

having hidden weapons

Women mostly attack using something in their Hand. A sharp Object, anything within reach. Very few will try to punch a grown man.
I remember a friend of mine got into an argument & punched a guy, his woman attacked him with a stilletto shoe. That can take out an eye.
I've also had a woman stamp on my upper foot with such a shoe. It hurt but luckily didn't puncture my shoe. So again not many will attack a man like square on without a weapon.

I can agree that the safest route is to maximize what you are legally allowed to do. Smash their nose, break an eye socket, crack a rib. I can't argue against this being the safest course of action.

However, life is all about establishing prioritize. Survival ranks high on my priority list, but it is rarely my highest priority. Risk management is also not about eliminating all risk. It's about evaluating risk in light of your goals.

Calling it stupid is only viewing it through one lense.

What is higher than survival on your priority list? Outside of the survival of my wife, and if I had kids their survival, I find it difficult to imagine ranking something higher. Maybe I'm just selfish.

I set multiple things above survival. But I'm also not scared of a woman with a shoe. This decision is not a death sentence.

I think there's a middle ground here. There's a lot of judgement and context involved. I mean, sure, we can see danger around every corner. But I think most people will accept some degree of personal risk in order to help someone else. I've been physically assaulted by an unreasonable woman before, and I didn't punch her. I restrained her so that she didn't hurt me or anyone else, including herself. I suppose I could legally have punched her in the face, but that is, frankly, a repugnant thought for me. And to be sure, she may have stabbed me or something. Fortunately for us both, that didn't happen.

So, we can say that there is a third possibility. If you over respond, you might not be dead or in jail, but by your actions, the other person might be seriously injured, dead, or possibly in jail (because you failed to deescalate the situation).

As a result of what I believe is a very reasonable, common perspective on this topic, I get to go through life not carrying guns or visualizing punching women in the face. Still pretty safe, not doing crazy things that are likely to put me or my family at risk. But also, I believe, a little healthier and happier.

Take "woman" out, and would you say the same about men?

No?!? Duh? I don't even get what planet the question came from.

No?!? Duh? I don't even get what planet the question came from.

I kind of expected that.

Well, now I'm completely lost. You understood that?

The entire basis of this thread is silly and unserious. It hardly deserves serious responses. Think of it as a joke thread.

It's a great topic! Sweating the details regarding what you are willing to do is a worthwhile topic.

Disagree. The subject stated is "Would you hit a woman who was unarmed but attacking you?" But the truth is that it is reductive to "Can a woman be dangerous enough to seriously hurt you?" The answer is obviously yes and only a doofus would argue that there aren't any circumstances where a woman could seriously hurt a man, even were she "unarmed." The rest that follows is just foolishness. The entire basis of the thread is fundamentally unserious unless you are presupposing a bunch of knuckle-draggers from the 1950's and therefore doesn't merit serious answers. It's a joke thread. Frankly, I'm shocked that it lasted 1 page, never mind 7.

Any researches and statistics? Or it just your belief?

Disagree also. But that's just an opinion from a doofus I guess.

It is a trade off.

You are basically discussing the better to be judged by 12 stuff.

Which is fine if the trade off is that or death.

But if the trade off isn't death. Then going to court. Or mutilating someone is a crappy trade off.

You can nullify a threat without hurting people. This is quite often how positional advantage works. And ironically positional advantage makes you more efficient at hurting people.

So it quite often winds up that the best choice is also the more moral choice.

I can't deal with that. I just can never figure out whether I should be romancing her or just going for the sub.

Here is the best example of personal experience vs scientific method. And why we shouldn't really trust personal experience.

You've shared this video before, I think. Good video.

Well ...it's kept me alive until now.
You can think about your theories & scientific data as your skull is being stomped or gutted like a fish. Sorry but just nonsense
