yeah right, you have to be able to protect her. for examle there was this guy the other day who kept on looking at my girl. i noticed him, but since my gitl knows that am a hard one, she didn’t tell me, but finally gave in and asked me if i could go and talk to the guy, and ask him to stop. i readily accepted, and took her with me. i punched the guy twice in the nose, and he got all bloody. i was ready to bleed him more, but my girl who was just behind me, told me that its enough for today and that she’s happy that i bleed a guy for her. we are married since, and no one has ever looked at her again. and if it happens again, i would beed that guy again.

I figure if a girl is being beaten by someone bigger, and stronger, then of course you should help her, your not fighting to fight, your fighting to protect, right? Its reasonable enough, just dont kill the damn guy. A black eye and a kick in the nuts would suffice :) Lmao. Id like to think as a girl I could defend myself, but if ever a moment came and I just couldnt, a little help would be nice.. ;)

Well, Speaking for a girl sinse i am one. I dont want my boyfreind to solve everything for me. for instance if somebody is giving me shit i dont want him to like pound whoever it is into the ground i can do that myself, but if i was getting pounded into the ground then by all mean help me out. But that doesnt mean that u get to do everthing i am not a chile and i can handle it myself!

Glad that you have put this up!

I would defend my GF anyway, and I’m glad that I’ll also NOT go to jail for it….

However there are a few another things I’m going to ask…..

Suppose if your girl was being beat up (or just being given grief) by another woman would you kick the shit out of her?

I would not matter who it was or how much weaker they were than myself!

Also if the person was of an ethnic group other than your own is it ok (if they are beating up your girl, or being just dicks) to provoke them into attacking you first (so that you can defend your self) by yelling abuse at them?

The way I see it is that as long as they can’t prove that you done this (i.e. you remain quiet about it or make sure that they can’t prove it.) the cops can’t arrest you!

On top of that were does this leave it when a family member or so called ‘friend’ (or whoever) gives your girlfriend grief abet in a non violent way?

I was just wondering this as my gf has been having a few issues with a flat mate (she lives in a small hostel at the moment although we will be moving in together sometime soon)

If you sent the guy to the ER…. I dont think that is classified under “self defense” guys… you totally knocked him into the ER… I think self defense is at the level only ENOUGH force is use to block or stop the assault but doesnt mean you can go crazy and sent anyone to the ER. You do realize that in the process of self defense and you became the assaut person you will get charges pressed against you right? So that’s mean, if someone start something with you or your GF, you beat him enough for him to stop is ok, but if you knocked him enough he stop and you began to go crazy on him and send him to the ER you are now the assaulting person…

of course its leagal to protect yer girl aslong as you dont use to much force i.e. breaking limbs so on and so forth i have a military background so if i was to step in i could only restrain but if i didnt have the military training i have then i would be allowed to go as far as to throw a few punches.

Okay, if someone is threatening her life or seriously beating her up, I would step in and protect my girlfriend, but I’ve had other situations where I should have not stepped in. Example: girlfriend and I are at a bar, she complains about having these guys that keep groping and grabbing her. I kept insisting that she point them out to me, she says no but finally gives in. I went over and stupidly asked if they were harassing my girlfriend. These guys get up in my face, ready to fight, the bouncer kicks us all out and before I know it, there are like three guys pounding me into the concrete. I ended up in the hospital. We could have just left or I could have just told the bouncer that some guys were harassing my girl.

So my question is, if some guy is grabbing or groping your girl, not threatening her life, or insults your girlfriend in front of you, is it worth fighting? I don’t think so, but then again, I don’t want to look like a wuss.

Hi there,

You’re covered under UK law.

You may only use reasonable force.

In certain circumstances you may be able to use a ‘pre-emptive strike’.

Makesure that inform the police about the incident as soon as practicable.

A man’s nature is to defend a woman. If the woman can’t fight herself out of the brawl, then a man should do his duty. Sometimes, women can kick ass better than men. Maybe your woman can have a special skill in martial arts, and sometimes, she don’t need your help after all, oh what a strong woman she’ll be.
