Talk to anyone in their 70's or 80's (and older) and you will find out that, in their generation, it was a perfectly acceptable response when a guy said something offensive either to or about the woman doing the slapping.

Mom (who is 80) says that guys did NOT want that to happen because they were never allowed to live it down among their social circle. People were a lot more judgmental in those days of how you presented yourself, and how you dressed/talked/acted did have the effect of branding you as to what type of a person folks thought you were.

Leave her sitting in a restaraunt by herself if necessary....that is a dump on the spot moment for me. I let women know this up front early when dating. I call it boundary setting.
Who says it's ok and acceptable?

I'm the same as I'm not into " rough stuff " either!

No seriously it's not for me all that bollox so agree

I know the difference between make-believe and what actually happens.
I saw it once in high school.


Helluva good slap, too...turned the guy's head right around.


That was back in 1970.

Because when a man beats a woman it's assault and abuse, but when it's the other way around - it's empowerment.

Damn OP, your sis is a beast biatch. LOL. No wonder she goes through many husbands. I slap my husband's face but only like a tap, he always says don't when I am arming myself to slap his face but I still do it. Of course it's always only taps slaps coz if it hurts then yeah we are divorced now coz I sue him for harassment, LOL.

Says who? It's still assault. Slapping someone is not empowerment.

I had a woman slap me in the face very hard... I had her arrested for assault and after that she never bothered me again. She learned her lesson. It isn't acceptable in my eyes.. Keep your hands to yourselves and you won't have issues.

I have a son and I'd hate to think that if some girl at school ever hits him, he would be laughed at if he told his teacher. Or if he got older and his girlfriend thought it would be okay to knock him around.

The fact is, as uncomfortable as our society is with this, women can in fact be violent. And I think modern day feminism often turns a blind eye to this.

It's not acceptable.
If you are around people who think it's acceptable, get new friends.

It's low class, ignorant, and disgusting to hit people. Man, woman, child, whoever.

I don't know.

I've never slapped anybody across the face except a girl in the 8th grade who hit me first. The sole physical altercation in which I've been involved.
