well first off, its never right for a guy to hit a girl. period. (i think weve made that obvious but whatever) i dont care what shes done, you dont hit her. now if shes like your friend and you kinda push or play hit (thats prolly more a below-18 thing but eh, adults might do it too idk) then thats ok. but to straight up hit her? no. thats unacceptable.
w/ this guy...idk...i can see either way. i mean yea you could say thats a reaction, for that is a natural reaction (for most people) you get hit you hit back. man-to-man, woman-to-woman, man-to-woman, woman-to-man, whatever. if youre hit youre going to instinctively want to hit back. so id say that he was justified IN THAT RETROSPECT. its a natural reaction, sometimes you just cant control it. but, that being said, i find that her just slapping him was stupid. she told him to fuck off, he said something (i think he said "after you" but idk) and she slapped him. there was really little-to-no reason for her to do that.
now, onto the other point. what can a girl get away with? a lot of things. the worst person to be in this world is a white man. because, for whatever reason, only white people are ever considered racist. a black man can call you honkey, cracker, whitey, ghost, whatever and nobody thinks about it. but if you turned around and called him a nigger, porch monkey, or some other racial slur, youd be critiscized. thats white people in general. now, make it a guy. if he even glances at a younger girl walkin by hes a pedophile and its sexual harassment. if he hits a girl hes sexist and not a man. if he hits a man of any other race its assault/battery and hes considered racist. so of course if youre a white man youre basically screwed in the world. you can get called racist/sexist/pedo/etc over the simplest of things
now, onto my opinion. guys shouldnt hit girls (as ive said) BUT girls shouldnt hit guys. i hate when a girl hits you and is like "haha you cant hit back!" cause thats really freakin annoyin. or like if theyre being a b17ch or seriously just annoying you and you like tighten your arm or raise youre hand theyre all "cant hit me im a girl!" and that is just downright annoying and stupid. i mean im not gonna say that would almost make you wanna hit them, but it does make you slightly madder when they do that. but you shouldnt hit her, no mater what shes done. but at the same time she shouldnt be attempting to put herself in the situation where she would normally get his if it was by an abusive guy or a girl. just cause you a girl dont mean you can do whatever you want and expect it to be ok and have us love/praise it all over. no. that would never happen.
bottom line: guys shouldnt hit girls, and girls shouldnt mess w/ guys cause we not sposed to hit you.
