Presuming I did not deserve the shot....
I would tell her not to do that again. If she tried I would block her arm while again warning her not to do that. If she continued to persist in her attempts I imagine at some point I would get annoyed enough to hand her one back although that would largely depend on our relative sizes and abilities.
I was taught not to hit a "lady".... someone trying to slap me for no reason is not a lady.
Good show.....
I think that if it isn't physically damaging, the 1st slap should be free as a courtesy.... BUT I should then be able to warn her that if she does it again she's getting one back & then follow through...
Its fair then because she will know that she knowingly brought it on herself & decided to to.
It is also good for ANY human being to understand they they are NOT Invulnerable & inviolable & that they should act accordingly.... Chris Rock put it best when he said theres nothing worse behaved than a woman who KNOWS she's not going to get hit....
I'd wager that ALL people would be the same.... Think of the mouthpieces in the bars who think they can get away with being total dicks because their buddies with the bouncers.... etc
I don't mean hit hard.... don't have to..... It's the CERTAINTY of a consequence that deters people... Not the severity... So long as there's a percieveable chance of escaping the consequences... many will risk it no matter what they are..... But if the consequence is both Known & Certain... they have to weigh if what theyre doing is really worth it...
Some women may decide getting another slap in is worth a cuffing..... at that point its Their decision....
However if I DID something to deserve the slap.... I would let it go totally & depending on what I had done maybe several more besides....
