“Yes, there are justifications. Like when a woman puts herself in a man’s position, or when she has your money and doesn’t want to release it. But any other reasons than this I believe a real man should just walk away.”
Phillip W. Simon, Senior
Lake Charles, Theatre Arts
“The best sounding answer is “no.” However, realistically speaking, women are less likely to be a lady in hostile situations. Sometimes restraint is simply impossible with some women and self-defense is an only option. In extreme cases such as this, yes, it is justifiable.”
Marcus A. Dillon, Senior
Savannah, GA; Chemistry
“I never believed in hitting females, but being in a relationship with someone you love can make you do a lot of things you usually would not. Men should not hit women just out of anger though, unless the girl is in the gym bench pressing more than you are!”
Oscar Gayle, Jr., Senior
New Orleans, Theater
“Yes, under two circumstances…1. If she is beating the crap out of him. 2. If she is bigger than him and beating the crap out of him.”
Lee Hall, Junior
Monroe, Theater
“No. There is no reason for a man to ever put his hands on a woman. How would he feel if a man would hit his mother or his sister or even his Grandmother? It is just not acceptable.”
Latissie Pete, Senior
Crowley, History
“No, its not right for a man to hit a woman, because a man should treat a woman with as much respect as she treats herself.”
PHILOMENE JOHNSON, Sophomore
Edgard, Social Work
“There is never a justifiable reason for a man to hit a woman. The only case where he may come close is when she physically hurts him, but even then he should leave, instead of hitting her back.”
Janee‘ Hooker, Law Student
Los Angeles, Law
”There is no reason what so ever; no person deserves to be physically abused. However, at the same time females need to also know that there is no justifiable reason to hit male.”
