Why can't girls punch guys?

I know why guys can't punch girls, but on TV the only thing I saw woman do to a man when they are really mad is slap them.

Today in school I jokingly punched my friend who's a guy(a little too hard) and my teacher got all upset with me. She said the usual, punching is not permitted, but then she said "act Like a lady!"

So, why can't girls just punch guys? This isn't olden times when ladies had to wear dresses below their knees. If your physically capable to punch a guy, what's wrong with it? Why don't girls ever punch guys?

    If you punch a guy, you give him the right to punch you back. Never forget that.

    Also, I would say that girls don't punch guys because girls are taught to avoid physical aggression. This is actually merely intelligent: the less physical aggression we have going on, the more we can actually negotiate and speak, which solves problems much more effectively.

    What's wrong with women punching men is the same thing that's wrong with anyone punching anyone: it's violence, and violence is almost always unnecessary. (The exception is self-defense, but this only arises out of response to unnecessary violence in the first place.) Don't hit, don't punch, etc, because it's quite simply not a nice thing to do. It's pointless and solves nothing.

    The stuff you see on TV is fake. That's why they hire a-c-t-o-r-s.

    Punching anybody "a little too hard" is a bad idea.

    There are circumstances in which a girl can and should punch a guy -- if the guy is pushing her around, date rape, etc -- essentially, if you are in danger of being criminally assaulted, then you punch and punch HARD and get the hell away.

    That's IT. People who are friends shouldn't hit each other. Forget "acting like a lady." How about "Act like a civilized human being?"

    I say its not a brilliant deal. I acted such as you for a protracted time, yet don't be shy or something on the grounds which you will leave out out on rather some issues. And in case you like this guy talk and dangle out with him and enable him no the way you sense. yet certainly if hes a cutie hes in all probability had it take place to him until now. only drop it via fact i promise its not a brilliant factor

    Didn't your parents ever teach you not to hit? No one can hit anyone. Somehow, it's more socially acceptable for girls to abuse guys. But something being "socially acceptable" doesn't make it actually acceptable. No hitting. It's illegal.
