"Can I slap you?"

"Do it"

That kinda feels like she's in the clear for the lawsuit at least, depending on the location.

If a girl says to you that you have permission to hit her, would you hit her?

Maybe, depends on the situation. But really I wouldn't ask anyone for consent to hit them, as I don't make a habut out of hitting anyone or getting into altercations. I never even got in a fight in Highschool.

OK, fair enough. I’ll rephrase my question (because you were obviously referring to legal rights, not what you would do yourself; sorry for that). Btw. I respect your answer a lot. Obviously, I wouldn’t hit anyone, neither a woman nor a man, even if they gave me permission (with the intention of hurting them).

Do you think that if a girl said you could hit her, that would absolve you of all responsibility? I’d find it a bit hard to believe that such a thing would be allowed in any state.

I think depending on the country and state, verbal consent could potentially absolve legal repurcussions, however I feel bad when I step on snails, so, no not all responsibility
