Sherri Shepherd Condones Men Hitting Back

On today's "The View," the ladies were discussing women hitting men and whether it's OK for men to hit back. Sherri Shepherd, the gift that keeps on giving, apparently condones the practice: "Nowadays, if you hit a man, you better be expected to get slapped right back," she said. Watch:

Barbara has done herself proud. What I thought was supposed to be show about current important issues and women with different backgrounds expressing views on such issues had turned into a "Desperate Wives" talk show.
I guess the other day Barbara was discussing when she used to take a bath with her daughter and would take the opportunity to educate her daughter on body parts and their functions.

Sorry self defense principles­... You are always able to retaliate to remove the threat. Once the threat is gone though you need to stop. Nobody has the right to threaten or strike another.

If the basic shape of the planet you inhabit gives you trouble, don't expect a lot of complexity in other areas...

I think what Sherri was saying is that today when women ask for equal everything, when women are fighting in wars, that the perception by many men is that all old social protocol is off. I also think she means that it is not right to be able to slap or hit someone and to expect not to have any consequences for your behavior. It's a different generation. I think if you hit a guy on his body, you may get away with it, but if you slap a guy's face hard--you better have your dukes up--because something may come back at you.

Well, you know they must have an equally immature and ignorant replacement to take Elizibeth's place.

Speaking of ignorant..­.just learning to spell the name Elizabeth are we? If so, you failed.

Speaking of Elizabeth it disturbs me to know she is spawing more of her kind. That is all.

Are you suggesting that women have some sort of birth right to unreciprocated violence? If a woman hits another person--man or woman--expect to get your ass hit right back! Equality means just that equality.
