What are guys legally allowed to do if a woman attacks him? How can he LEGALLY defend himself?
Find answers to your legal question.

If a man hits a woman in SELF DEFENSE, what does the law say about that?
Would the police and courts always side with the woman in a case where she hit him and he hit her back to defend himself?

Hitting is not a way to solve problems, be a man and turn the other cheek against the woman. You will feel more powerful that you did the right thing.

The general guideline is that whether you are male or female...the minimum amount of force necessary to defend yourself.

If you have an opportunity to retreat and don't then you didn't consider the minimum force necessary!

The male can use only the same force that is being used against him, just enough to stop the threat to himself and others. Anything above that is unlawful.
If she hit him and did not continue then he should not respond by hitting her back.
