"Later on in the evening we'd all had a fair amount to drink..."
and therein lies the whole problem.

I meant you. You're the dumbass - with an equally dumbassed girlfriend. :p I mean really, do you think this sort of situation happens to everyone? It doesn't.

Know what I'd do if my girlfriend had 3 retarded friends who decided punching me was amusing? Bye bye dumbass girlfriend.

Know what I'd do if I asked to speak to my girlfriend to come down in order to talk about her dumbass friends, and she brought a dumbassed friend with her? Bye bye dumbass girlfriend.

Know what I'd do the first time her dumbass friend started pushing and punching again? Walked away or called the police. Oh, and bye bye dumbass girlfriend.

You seem to take it upon yourself to act like as big a jackass as possible, but there is a simple rule to follow if you wish to avoid this in the future. Remove yourself from the situation before it becomes a situation. Not hard. Very easy.

Edit: Oh, and are you back in Ontario? Because somewhere in September I want to throw another AT meet, and all Ontarians are invited! And uh, don't bring the girlfriend. :p

Yeah I mean come on. I know OP was probably drunk, but there are easily better ways to have handled this. It seems to me like he just stuck around to inflame the situation. Don't hang out with dumbasses and your life will be much simpler.

I'll bet that assault laws don't say JACK about the gender of the parties involved and where reasonable force can be applied.
You are entitled to defend yourself against anyone with an amount of force equivalent to the danger posed to the extent that the danger is cancelled, and then no more.
I.E. When the assailant is running away after getting his ass beat back, one cannot chase them down and continue to retaliate. If you intend to arrest them, one can immobilize them, but one better be prepared to follow through with that.

You should've called the cops and just had her arrested. I don't blame you for hitting her, but obviously it didn't turn out good for you. Time to change girlfriends buddy, if a girl is going to let het friends do this sh!t its not a girlfriend you need.

What you should do is bang one of her friends and leave the videotape on her door ;) That's a good way to break up in this situation

i agree. I have a female friend who said "Equal rights mean equal punch in the face."

Yeah I never liked the girl. She's a real brat.

You know what the worst thing was, when the police came they told me I was wrong.

After I punched the girl 2 guys came over and kicked my ass pretty bad because I punched a girl.

No backstory.

And WHERE tf were your mates?!

Hit the bint if she is going to be like that. Don't throw a haymaker, thats weak. Avoid the situation and walk away. Best outcome you can hope for unless you subdue this bint. If you hit a girl OTHER GUYS will go over and unless you can take care of yourself be ready to fight or run.

Your gf didn't stand up for you when her mate was laying in to you? That would p!ss me off to no end.

I would subdue, a girl and not hit her unless she had a weapon. Hurting people is very easy if you know how to fight and most girls aren't trained to fight and take hits. If I needed to fight I would lay in to a girl, and I hopefully won't have to anytime soon.

Jeezus you guys have to go to man school there should be no reason you have to punch a woman unless she has a weapon and you have to put her down quick. The one time a girl tried to hit me all I had to do was grab her hands and push her away. When did ATOT turn into the wussy club. Hopefully when your nuts finally drop you will know better.

If you are going to throw a punch, make it a good one.

I can understand why you threw a haymaker, and it sounds like you came out pretty fvcked up yourself... but you never win when you hit a girl.

Your girlfriend is obviously not as great a person as you thought if she brought one of the dumbass friends to help her confront you. This is one of those situations where you get to cut ties with everyone, all at once.

I can't say I have hit many chicks, I can just scare the fVk out of them after an incident.

However, if a chick feels the need to hit (I mean hit you, not just a light smack or push)...she just opened up the equal rights arena. If she throws harmful objects (bottles, wine glasses, etc), equal right arena open again. Last *man* standing.

No one should have the need to hit anyone unless they are just so uncivil and ignorant nothing else would work.

QFT and FTW. Those that think chicks are just harmless haven't gotten in a real fight with one.

Heck a pre-teen can lay a good wallop on you if you are not expecting it.

He got his ass kicked by the guys who saw him hit the girl. The girls didn't do much to him at all.

There is the fading norm that men should not hit women, and the fading norm that women should be ladylike.

Do a little more reading:

At any point where the violence is real you have a right to defend yourself. I would probably be willing to take a punch to arm, no matter how hard, just because there's basically no chance of real damage. But if someone is actually trying to hurt me, trying to punch me in the face say, then I'll put them down. If I'm in a good mood I might just restrain them first to see if I could teach them a lesson.

I say you didn't hit the b!tch hard enough; you see those two guns you got on your arms? Shoot to kill.
