Man-law proposal.........Men, If you are in an arguemenative situation, of course you may not strike a woman with your hands if she angers you or strikes you first. However, if there is an object that can be used in place of fisticuffs that will get your point across yet not cause any physical harm (i.e. a pillow, balled up socks, balled up paper, even food items are permissible), you may use such objects in a defensible manner.
Case in point and a true story, I once hit my sister with a old biscuit that was on the stove. Once she got over the shock of actually being pelted with a biscuit, the ensuing laughter squelched the initial confrontational event.
MANLAW??????
