You can't just give someone a bloody nose if they're intent on smacking you one, you put them down and don't give them a chance to get up and try again.
And to prevent someone like you misrepresenting this as an example 'violent behaviour', this is realistic and in line with the expectation of self-defence in the UK, and undoubtedly elsewhere.
I really don't think any UK jury would decide you used reasonable force punching a midget to the ground.
If they attack me? If they didn't, it'd be a case of "Hey, the victim's the one at fault. They were asking for it!" Tell me, what are your thoughts on who the guilty party is in cases of female-victim rape? I bet you wouldn't be singing the same song.

Yeah, that'll work. I remember the last time I hugged a girl who was trying to hurt me.
Oh, wait, that's how I nearly got my left shoulder dislocated.

You were the one who said he'd hit anyone if they "swung" on you. I find that to be a far dumber statement.
Honestly, I used the child as an extreme, but consider that instead of a child, the person who swung on you was, oh, half your size? That he posed no threat to you at all? You would still swing on him?
Fuck yeah, don't under estimate someone just because they're smaller than you. Should I simply continue to allow them to molest me? Fuck no.
I might hit 'em not as hard in the hopes of discouraging them before I have to do them any real harm, but thats it. I've seen a woman (since its apropos of the thread) half my size give a guy a black eye.

Just because something is ethical, right to other people does not justify it being wrong or right. You can choose to belive if something is right or wrong by yourself. Morals are something that were made by the human race that are considered right or wrong. For instance religious morals, Spiritual morals. They were all made by other people to help you make the right decision but the thoughts of others is irrelevant to what you should do or think and it should be left up to that person. Some people even have their own moral guide lines but it still dosn't make it right to live by them all the time. Each new decision that you have to make needs to be looked at at all different angles and should be influenced by other people, set codes of conduct for yourself.
From the source you yourself quoted: "of, pertaining to, or concerned with the principles or rules of right conduct or the distinction between right and wrong; ethical: moral attitudes"- dictonary.com
You are arguing that something explicitly defined as being the distinction between right and wrong is not the distinction between right and wrong.

If a woman does something* to provoke a man in the extreme, she should have no right to bitch if the man hits her as a result.
*I don't mean any run of the mill "provocation", I mean something along the lines of physical, verbal, mental, emotional abuse. In other words, if a woman hits me, she has no right to cry foul if I hit her back.

Only in self defense. And I don't mean that she slapped you a bit, I mean that if she's coming at you with a knife, then it's ok to clock her.

You've obviously never ticked your girlfriend off bad enough that she wants to hurt you, gotta respect ya for that.
I AM a woman, and I would NEVER consider belting a man unless I was defending myself from violence that he started.
And I would NEVER tolerate staying with someone who hit me. I've seen too many people who talk with their fists and cry and say they are sorry, then go back and smack their mate the second they get annoyed again.
Again, it's your affair if you want to put up with that, but I never would. If the most important person in your life hurts you, what's the point?

In general opinion, it still seems like hitting a girl is worse than hitting a boy (Or woman/man). If you ask me, then the difference (Moral implications) is null. If you hit someone, their or your sex shouldn't be a part of the account. Just like your race or upbringing.
To me, you can be judged on the choices you make/doesn't make, but not things you are born with.
Also, the thing about hitting kids: It *really* depends on how you do it. I don't think physical violence is all that worse than psychological, and having been brought up by parents who practise psychological warfare against their kids I don't think I am better off than had they used physical violence. Some children learn fast one way or the other way, as with every human being they react different to the same situations. I don't think using moderate violence against children is apprehensible in every case. You can overdo it, yeah, but so can you with other punishments (Or rewards).

Jail doesn't sound much different to Boarding School. Getting called a 'fucking faggot' by guys who want you to bend over for them loses it's effect after a while.

Did she hit you first? Was it hard? Is she hitting you in the expectation that you will just take it? Was it playful or aggressive? Is she tough enough to take care of herself? A lot of questions here. Generally speaking I don't condone hitting anyone. But, being female, if a man hits me in a way that indicates aggression, I will defend myself. I would expect that if a woman hits a man in a way that indicates aggression, the man would defend himself. But I would also expect that the defense would not become aggression. This is my take on the code of Bushido - do only what it takes to stop the aggressive behavior and no more.

Unless the woman is making a concious effort to physically harm you and that's your most sensible option to the exclusion of fleeing, no.
On a side note, anyone else notice the increase in young girls getting into fist fights on school campuses? I'm not sure what exactly they're trying to prove. Sure, the guys will think they're "bad ass chicks" for a few moments, but when it's all said and done and they have two black eyes and no front teeth, they just look dumb.

Eh, if it gets to the point where i get more then a light bruise, then id worry about it (except nut shots, those hurt like hell). Besides, its not entirely unfounded why they sometimes do that to me though ive never touched them (in a bad way).

I think we should just make sure girls are aloud by society to defend themselves and get their hands and mouths dirty. In fact, it should be COOL!
But seriously, look what girly girls have done to the name of good women.

Depends. Did she deserve it? Can you take the retaliatory strike back? Do you feel its necessary to resort to a physical reaction to what ever stimulus? For me, it's not OK to hit a girl for the same reason it's not OK to hit a guy. If one is a large, strong person, striking another can have serious consequences. If one is a weaksauce little boy, then swing away. She will probably kick your butt anyway.
