Is it okay for a woman to deliver a stinging open handed slap?

If this is acceptable, under which circumstances can she do it?

Does it differ from assault?

If a woman slaps a man, is it okay for him to slap her back?

Who is your favourite female screen slapper?

Is slapping empowering? Glamorous? Do you like to slap?

do you consider yourself a slapper?

no no no no dunno no no no. xpost no

I've never slapped, or slapped it about, so I'm not a slapper.

It looks satisfying though.

I've been known to slap, but only playfully, very rarely in anger.

I guess my problem is, I tend to slap, not as a signal of "you've gone too far" which is what it sould be, but more of a signal of "let's escalate this".

It is powerful, it is glamourous, it is sexy. But I never treat it as something done truly in anger.

Then again, as I've been told repeatedly this weekend, I guess I'm a bit of a sexual control freak.

Is it okay for a woman to deliver a stinging open handed slap?
Depends on circumstances. To a child? To a man who's groping her? To a woman who's groping her? I would have to award top marks to any woman who can deliver a public, full-cheek, open-handed slap to her partner of either sex who has just been discovered to be cheating on her. This slap should, preferably, be immediately followed by the throwing of a neat-spirit beverage into the face of the slappee, causing even more stinging. The woman should immediately exit the scene without looking back.

In any other circumstances I don't really think it's fair to slap and not expect some retaliation, be it from a man or a woman.

Is slapping empowering? Glamorous? Do you like to slap?

Only in the circumstances outlined above, and then only because it's a fairly controlled response and has more dignity than screaming "why? How could you???" etc. Someone would really, really have to emotionally wound me very deeply for me to slap them.

Or they would have to slap me first. Then they'd get such a fucking slapping, I tell you...

― accentmonkey (accentmonkey), Monday, 23 January 2006 10:51 (twenty years ago)

Well, to be honest, it's sexy and glamourous because it's the controlled threat of violence, it's control, it's the ultimate retort. I mean, let's be honest, an open handed slap from a woman is extremely unlikely to do any actual physical damage. But it's kind of that B&D thing, that the implied threat of harm is far, far sexier than actual physical pain.

But I think we are actually talking about two different kinds of slapping. That there's the slapping which is a fullstop to a conversation, the "how dare you!" slap of an offended woman. Like Trish describes above in the x-post.

And then there's the "OK, we're stepping over a line" slap which is where the interplay of a couple arguing for the pleasure of the frisson stops being mere words and becomes the "what are you going to do about it?"

The reponse to the former is to storm off, and never return without risking guns at dawn. The response to the latter is more likely to be, to grab the lady's hands, brief physical tussle, followed by highly empassioned "you're beautiful when you're angry" kissing.

But anyway, that's enough about my lovelife. :-)

Many years ago an ex gave me a slap one very drunken evening in a busy pub (this was about par for the course given the state of the relationship at the time). I slapped her right back without thinking about it. She stomped off. I went after her to apologise, but was stopped in my tracks by a Barry Grant looking motherfucker who took me to task for hitting a woman. I pointed out she'd hit me first, but this was beside the point, apparently. I told him to fuck off anyway. It's not something I'm in the habit of doing, unless it's consensual.

I'd say it all depends on the relationship between the man and the woman, and also on the power relationships as regarding different genders. I've had friendly physical fights with female friends, and I'd have no problem slapping a friend who'd slapped me in such a situation, since we both know it's not serious, and we'd have an equal footing in the situation, i.e. neither one would be abusing his physical or mental superiority. If a girlfriend who doesn't normally retort to violence would slap me, I guess I wouldn't respond to it, since I probably would have done something really bad to prompt such a reaction, and would be rather shocked by the mere fact that she'd hit me. Physical violence is always more shocking and hurtful psyhcologically if coming from someone you wouldn't expect it from. It's not about physical hurt rather than about loss of innocence, the breaking of a barrier that normally exists between people who care about each other. However, if a girlfriend who'd I'd know was prone to violence would slap me, it's quite possible I might slap her back. I've known some girls who abuse the fact that most men consider hitting girls wrong in any circumstances, and because of that can physically abuse guys much worse than with one slap. In a situation like that the power balance would be on her rather than my side, so slapping her back wouldn't mean the same thing as slapping someone who'd never hit me. Of course it'd be rather doubtful I'd want to continue being with such a girl, since I'm a relative non-violent guy - I haven't hit anyone in a non-friendly way ever since high school.

I don't think it can ever be acceptable to slap or be slapped (unless it's something you both happen to like, obv).

it's weird how Emu vanished from the limelight after Hull's untimely death, seeing as how he was operating entirely independently from Hull.

when i was in nyc in october, i slapped one of my best friends while i was blacked out drunk. the next day i was like, "hmm... why isn't [x] returning my calls?" and our mutual friend had to remind me that she was most likely furious since i had told her to fuck off then smacked her the night before. that's the only instance of slapping that i can recall (well, not recall exactly since i don't really remember it happening but you know...).

Kathleen Parker of The Jewish World Review says this:

ANDIE MCDOWELL did it to Bill Murray in Groundhog Day; Gwyneth Paltrow did it to Colin Firth in Shakespeare in Love; Heather Locklear does it to Michael J. Fox in Spin City.

They slapped them. And the men -- because they're "real men" -- turned the other cheek, while we, the audience, looked the other way. Or didn't even notice it.

So ingrained is the female slap in our cinematic psyche that we hardly blink, much less flinch, considering the slap more as a quirky female statement of disapproval than as an act of violence. Usually delivered with little to no provocation, the slap is even considered comical under certain circumstances.

On film, the man routinely accepts the slap without any significant response. His head swings back front and center -- ready for whatever comes next -- as though nothing happened. When Michael J. Fox gets his during a conversation in a Spin City episode, he doesn't even stop jabbering. Talk about funny.

But a woman slapping a man is no funnier than a man slapping a woman, even though we respond differently to each. In films, we despise the brute who slaps a woman. In life, we charge him with assault, throw him into jail, alienate him from his children, add another folder to the domestic violence files, pass Washington and collect $200 for another woman's shelter.

Why, in this era of heightened sensitivity toward domestic violence and sexual equality, are we still passing off the female slap as the innocuous, cutesy manifestation of the little lady in the throes of a spat?

Violence isn't cute or funny, and slapping is violence regardless of context. I don't want to rear boys in a world thattolerates female violence against men, nor do I want to rear girls to think that they can hit a man without consequence.

In fact, a woman who slaps a man in real life may well end up in the hospital. That's not to excuse the man who hits back -- or to imply that the woman deserves it -- but common sense suggests that striking someone may get you hurt.

To imply otherwise, through film, television or humorous anecdote, is what's known as bad information.

Murray Straus, co-director of the University of New Hampshire Family Research Laboratory, noted the prevalence of such bad information during a 1998 psychology symposium.

"Millions of young women have been told, 'If he gets fresh, slap him,' rather than, 'If he gets fresh, leave immediately,' " said Straus.

Straus has been at the center of controversy over "couple conflict" studies in which he found that women instigate violence as often as men, though women suffer more serious injury and, sometimes, death. The reason for the discrepancy between his research and others', he said, is that other studies focus on "crime" reports, most of which are filed by women.

Few men would call the police over a slap, and for good reason.

A 1960 study by the Commission on the Causes and Prevention of Violence found that slightly more than one in five American adults believe that it is permissible for a woman to slap her husband's face. Replicating the research in 1985, 1992 and 1995, Straus got the same results.

Our dubious approval of the female slap has been made possible largely by the repetition of cinematic and television images through the decades.

But it's a bad message for everyone, especially for the woman who thought she could get away with it and didn't

But it's a bad message for everyone, especially for the woman who thought she could get away with it and didn't

Isn't this is a bit Hays Code? Sure, we see women slap men on telly and get away with it. Just like we see people shoot people on telly and get away with it, sleep around and not get venereal diseases, get into fist fights and not break their own hands, and so on. Telly isn't real. Films aren't real. The kind of serious slapping that is being talked about there is much more shocking when you see (or even hear) it in real life. And it's not okay. I know several men who have broken up with girlfriends because their girlfriends thought it was acceptable to hit them or throw things at them when they got mad, and it just isn't. But I have a feeling that might be more to do with bad education than bad telly.
Though it looks so in the movies, I've always had nothing but guilt and regret and general feeling awful after striking someone.
Jaq's right, but this statement could apply to many things other than just slapping. People on telly and in films are always doing and saying the kind of things to their nearest and dearest that would, in reality, see them firmly dumped for being psychos. Slapping's only one of those things.

Anyway, if were talking about a single strike rather than a fistfight, what really matters is the violation of a certain perimeter people don't usually cross. The physical pain goes away quickly, but the psychological shock doesn't. And if it's done by someone you love that makes it a hundred times worse, believe me.

It is. It is a box every man must tick. Also, when she slaps you, you must not react, because you are such a man, you hardly felt a thing! Then, pumelling away at your chest, preferably with her fan, she must say, 'You great big insensitive lunk! I hate you! I hate you!' Then she collapses helplessly in your arms and you kiss. Strings.

Once me and this guy were having an incredibly vague conversation about the impeding doom of Western Civilization & he was like "I want what's coming to me," so I smacked him in the face. The lesson I took away from that day was don't smack someone unless they explicitly ask. And also maybe don't be so literal-minded.

This is my favourite thread ever. I remember an exhibition at Sydney's Museum of Contemporary Art where a female video artist (name escapes me) had just endless footage spliced together of women in the movies slapping men (who of course were completely unmoved, as is the Hollywood tradition). Elsewhere in the exhibition she had spliced together the highlights of footage she had taken from behind sand dunes of men getting into wetsuits - she had a zoom lense and kept zeroing in on their bums. Now that is art, in my view.

I was slapped by a very drunk young lady in a nightclub. To be fair she also slapped a couple of my friends too. It just seemed to be one of her modes of drunken communication.

The fact that I later went home with her was due more to the fact that she was very cute rather than the slapping.

I've been slapped. I deserved it. I've slapped someone. They needed it. It's not such a big deal, in some circumstances. When I did it, it probably wasn't very sore, it was meant to be more symbolic, but due to excessive alcohol consumption, a slightly harder connection was made than was my intent. The intent, and the outcome, was understood. It was all cool.

I don't make a habit of it.

One practical danger in slapping is rings. If you wear one or more, a slap can be as deadly as a punch in knuckle-dusters. (I suppose this warning applies to cock-slapping where cock rings are involved too.)

also, do not whip at anyone with a studded belt.

My gf doesn't slap, she stamps her foot and throws plates. That's just as good though.

As far as I can recall, the only time I've ever been slapped:-

She: Nicholas, Rob's dead....

Me: (grins). No he's not! He's just gone on holiday!

Turns out we were talking about different people. From her perspective, I think this slap was probably justified.
