Slap Back?

[mandrill]

REtaliation is not self-defence. Self-defence is force you reasonably use to defend yourself. Once she slaps you, her assault on you is concluded.

If you slap her back, it is a fresh assault, albeit provoked.

You can both be charged.

A slap is rarely necessary IMO if a girl hits you first.
All a man has to do is hold her down and/or sit on her, a gentle reminder of who's stronger

When I was a wee lad I used to come home battered and bruised. A girl around the same age as me was the aggressor. Now I never hit back because my mother told me it was wrong to hit a girl.

After this went on for a bit my mother told me it was OK for me to hit her but only if she hit me first. The out come of this was I no longer came home battered and bruised.

This is ok advise for a child but as a man if a woman slaps me I will turn around and walk away. Then call the police.

My two cents.
