    Yes.

    I slapped a woman on the arse during foreplay once.


  • Registered Users Posts: 991 ✭✭✭TuringBot47


    In self defence? I'm a 5ft 4in guy who's 60kgs so there's little risk of me doing damage to the average woman who might try and attack me. Meanwhile, if you're 6ft, then that's a different story.


    Why are you asking about violence?
    Are you looking for validation for your own thoughts ?


    It nearly seems like an utterly sexist post against men.

    I slapped my ex wife a few times when we got into arguments. Left her with a bloody nose and snotty face and a few bruises. I'm not proud of it but I had a very bad temper. I was unemployed and she was harassing me to get a job. Gave her a right hiding but mostly just schoolyard stuff.

    Is that illegal/could she report it to the Gardai?

    I agree there is no woman who doesn't want a swift firm hit on the bottom every now and then.

    I focus on the upswing as to get that cracking sound. Nothing more satisifying that a properly slapped arse.

    Is that the reason she left or was the reason you hit her why you divorced.

    Saw a video once of a drunk woman hitting a bouncer a few times and he floored her after she ignored his warnings to stop, the guy was huge so he probably didn't use all his strength but he still put her flying.

    I think most men would try to restrain a woman who was trying to hit them, thats what I would do anyway.

    I’d love to hear her side of that story

    If you're gona try harm me you get a smack regardless of gender.

    Domestic abuser? then you are a piece of ****.

    You really need to be spoon fed knowledge don't you?


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,574 ✭✭✭PsychoPete


    In self defence, yes

    Was out in a pub years ago, woman attacking this bouncer he threw a punch at her and drove he around five feet into the air. She was straight back up for more


  • Registered Users Posts: 7,421 ✭✭✭tritium


    Domestic abuser of any gender deserve no sympathy, and certainly don’t get to play the poor weak little woman card. All well and good for people to say they could restrain a smaller woman but the stats show that female abusers are far more likely to use a weapon to inflict violence (presumably to balance out the physical disadvantage). Reading the evidence during the week of how Johnny Depp lost part of his finger I think illustrated how violent even a seemingly weak little abuser can get


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,362 ✭✭✭Crash Bang Wall


    A mates Mam gave him the following advice

    If she hits you once, tell her to stop, if she goes again, shes entitled to get a slap back

    I think one in fine abusers is female. From observing it with former housemates, it just doesn't happen there is a build up and fierce amount of provocation before violence ensues.

    Exactly. Complains about the thread and then even makes a 2nd post right after. Hypocrites.

    Absolute total codswallop

    Post Natal Depression has been used as an excuse.

    PMT has bee used as an excuse.

    Fcuk off with you and your bull**** comments about provocation.

    Isn't it amazing the hoops being jumped through to justify female on male violence in a world of supposed equality?

    Anyone that's dealt with domestic violence will know that the aim is not to 'win a fight' it's too dominate emotionally. Size doesn't play a part.

    The op also some about hitting a woman and there's users trying to dismiss self defense in the basis that the attacker is smaller. I got news for you, being punched by a smaller person is still a punch. It can still knock you down and leave you defenceless while they dance on your head. I have hit a lot of people bigger than me.

    Same applies to the 12 year old. They may be smaller but stand there and let them keep hitting you, you will get knocked down and you will be hurt.

    Would I hit a woman? Have. More than once. Probable will again. All justified.

    Are you counting mental abusers in that 1 in 5 are Female in your thought?

    No one should raise a hand to anyone. Simple as. Violence is disgusting.
    --> But if you do (regardless of gender) then you must be willing to face the consequences of your actions. We are all grownups after all and should be treated equally.


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,027 ✭✭✭H3llR4iser


    Three considerations:

    1 - would we stop with the OP-hating? He might have some funny questions, sometimes sounds like there's a social experiment going on (might very well be), but his posts almost never fail getting the discussion going; Otherwise, this board would be mostly dead or just discussion about hair loss and magic snake oil to make it grow back. Also, the people attacking him on perceived "insecurities" because of his questions - that kind of attitude belongs in a creche.

    2 - "Female initiated" violence is much more common that most would like to admit; One thing to consider is that there is massive underreporting of it, men who are victims almost never come forward for fear of being ridiculed or not believed. Again, many of the comments/attitudes in this thread demonstrate such fear is justified and the bias is alive and well.

    3 - All the "macho men" that "a woman can't do any damage", well, you have no idea what you're talking about, fair and simple. We're not talking about a straight by-the-rules boxing match here, not a weirdly composed action movie fight were even the super villain never goes for cheap shots. We're talking about brutal, gritty "I just want to do damage" scenarios, and in these, well, it doesn't take a lot of force to hurt, disable or severely injure a person.

    If 40%+ of abuse victims are male I’m not really sure where you get the 1 in 5 from?


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,428 ✭✭✭Markcheese


    I've seen the scars inflicted on my sisters friend because his girlfriend / then wife knew he "didn't hit women " it was a toxic relationship from the start ...
    I've also heard a pain in the ass ,controlling neighbour get slapped or punched as she progressively wound her boyfriend up more and more ... ( Not excusing the boyfriend in any way )
    It rarely as simple as just a random wallop ...
    And I genuinely though at least "she'll shut up now " when my neighbour got walloped . ( Ashamed to say ) , but it was a pattern ,
    I wasnt intervening either , not a chance ... she'd have glasses me if she thought I was "challenging" or questioning or threatening her precious perfect boyfriend ..

    Having a bad temper doesnt excuse 'slapping' someone, its interesting how you not only victim blame her for your behaviour but also belittle your actions against her - 'Just schoolyard stuff' - What ever that means?

    I remember seeing posts on different threads from you before. On one post you said your wife divorced you and you 'didnt see it coming' .. I think it was the same thread were you confessed to manipulating your children and telling them lies about your ex wife and her new partner to make them hate the pair of them. I feel very sorry for anyone who gets close to you and I really hope your wife and children have found safety, security, peace and happiness with her new partner.

    WTF is this doing on this list? If you don't know why this shouldn't be on this list then you shouldn't have one. I'm hooping you were just checking to see if anyone reads your posts.
