Is it just me...?

I can't help but to be drawn to the face slap in a catfight. Is it just me or is there something subconsciously or maybe not so subconsciously humiliating for a woman to be slapped across the face (a real slap, no patty cake slaps!)? Whether it's a real or arranged catfight, whether it's the initial slap as the two "cats" are toe to toe staring each other down or talking a little trash just before things get going or whether it's any time during the fight a good face slap lands, it seems to be rather subtle and sometimes not so subtle that one woman, for that moment is the dominant woman and has clearly bested her rival in a major way...???

Would love your thoughts ladies!

I love the reaction a good slap gets.  Usually it adds fire to the fight.  The woman slapped suffers some humiliation and looks to pay that back.  Slaps don't do the damage of a closed fist, generally fuels the fight, and perhaps extends it.

Often a catfight finally starts with a good slap after the opponents have long argued. I did not see it often during the fight.
I love women especially when they fight. Good catfiight between real woman in front of there man.

It sure does seem a good many catfights start with a slap to the face.

As for it being humiliating, if you are an NCIS fan, I remember Gibbs once explaining that a slap in the face is humiliation, but a slap to the back of the head is a wake up call!!

Definitely think it's something that plays to the humiliation....even though a good hard slap may sting quite a bit it seems the humiliation factor for the woman being slapped weighs heavier.

I think its humiliating for anyone regardless of sex.   After all traditionally a challenge to a duel was issued by slapping a face with a glove.

nothing quite sets the tone or gets things started like a solid slap to the face. Nothing to say of the emotion it takes to deliver that first slap.

I like the idea of a slap boxing fight between two women with long, sharp fingernails, so when they land a slap, they can swipe a scratch as they pull away....
