If a woman hits a man is the man allowed to hit back?

[kristina]

Can I ask a simple question? Why a simple question to a complex issue that has so many variables? Like this for instance:
Is anyone's life in danger?
Is it an argument that escalated?
Is it from mental illness?
Is this question to see more drama? You're a man, has this happened to you that you cannot find the answers on your own so you seek answers from all of us? If this is the case, why don't you say what it is instead posting a poll about an issue with tons of variables! Otherwise, it sounds like a way to create more drama in the forum. I say that at the risk of making others NOT LIKING MY RESPONSE and even saying something negative to me. You're a man. How do you think? Do you hit back? Do you not hit back? Have you been hit and what did you do? Do you want to hit a woman and need someone to help you to balance your feelings regarding hitting a woman? Are you stirring the pot? Do you like to see the drama unfold? I'm a little befuddled by your question and the poll. Explain please.
