I need ATOT's opinion.

So, one day I woke up on my couch to find my sister watching Dr. Phil on TV. On the show, He had some dude who would beat his wife and eventually a question came up. (From the husband) "If there's an unprovoked fist coming at my face (in reference to his wife) do I not even block it?" or something along those lines and "Dr." Phil replied "No, you just walk away." Does anyone else agree with this bullshit?

BTW, I'm not defending this guy or anyone who beats on the ladies. I just think that Dr. Phil's view on this is absolutely ridiculous.

Cliffs: Should a man have the right to block or possibly restrain a woman if she assaults him? I think so.

A man has a right to defend himself, that includes a beat down if need be.

Is there a sandwich in her hand when her unprovoked fist is headed to my fist?

Block the immediate threat and GTFO.

Dr Phil's a douchebag. Any "doctor" that appears on TV can be dismissed without further thought. They're there to make ad dollars. not provide help.

This, and that Dr. Drew douche too.

You can defend yourself to a point, but if there is a single mark on her and the police show up, have a nice trip.

The right thing to do is to get away from her. You may block her attacks on the way to the door. It's strange how completely the male of the species has been tamed.

Dr. Phil is a complete moron for many more reasons than his opinion about this issue. Of course you block the bitch, then you walk away. There is never a reason to hit a woman.

Dude...if you wake up to find your sister sitting on the couch...move the fuck out of your mom's basement.

 

[Spikesoldier]

the correct answer is to ball up both of your fists and pull a zangief and spin your way out the room.

if she gets hurt in the swinging environment of swirling fists due to her own willful attacks, then thats her own fault.

OP is in HS, no? He did remove his overweight juvenile avatar though so it may be easy to overlook.
