I slapped a girl hard enough to land her on the grass back in high school. It was at a school dance. She was being a complete and mentally torturing my very drunk best friend outside on the football field. I guess I was about 16 at the time. Haven't hit, slapped, pushed, or used any kind of physical violence on a woman during the following 30 years.

And no, you should not hit a woman. (Though sometimes, I tell ya... )

On the other hand, I teach my 13 year-old daughter that if any male even so much as touches her without prior written approval, she should close her fist and bury it right in his face as hard as she can. I ain't raising no girl that's going to take guff from a weak willed men who like to push women around.
