Is it ever right to hit a woman

Just this really. My ex partner is adamant that if a woman hits or slaps a man then it is ok for him to retaliate. He is 6 4 and a very strong man, just a slap would be potentially dangerous. He said he has always advised his daughters never to hit a man as they should expect to be hit back. I am not condoning violence btw, just interested in views on this.

Yes equality would be horrendous for men. We dont want men to be treated the same as women. If we did 2 men a week would be killed

It's not a competition.

No I didnt say it was. I was contributing to the conversation on equality and its meaning.

@Langsdestiny 2/3 of all homicide victims in the UK are men according to the NSS. Are you talking about something more specific such as murders by romantic partner?

2 men a week would be killed by their female partners it should say. Not sure what happened to those last words.
