    This guy hit his wife that's wrong, but not all guys are like that. I mean... I wouldn't hit my girlfriend no matter what. But what would you say if it was reversed and it was the woman hitting the man? I'm pretty neutral on this, but you have to think sterotyping isn't right, so just think.

    I'm not the one under a rock here. Your the one in a fantasy land of: All women = good All men = bad That's childish. Like your responses. I'll wait for another meaningful post in here. You people enjoy your thread.

    I agree. I have never said anything leaning just towards men. I say "spousal" abuse or "domestic" violence. I know there are some crazy women out there that hit their partners. I used to date one. Hitting your partner in general is wrong.

    No one should attack another person when angry, there are cases where the woman is the abuser. No one ask to be attacked

    Wow, blame the victim.

    I'm sure dinner wasn't good enough, or the laundry wasn't folded right. Maybe the kids weren't under control, or perhaps she just asked for it by the way she looked that day.

    So you're saying a woman has to be crazy to hit their husband but a man is just a man when he hits his wife?

    I don't live under a rock I know what goes on out there but just because this guy beats his wife doesn't mean all men are bad, and he may have hit her but honestly he doesn't just snap one day and choke her this abuse has been going on for a long time, she should have gotten out. You should start teaching young people to leave when there are signs of abuse and not to stay and become a punching bag.

    That kind of thing is taught all the time. I've heard it many times.

    That said, it may be an unpopular opinion (and this is a general comment, not about this story specifically), but I do not necessarily think hitting someone is the worst thing in the world. True, it's wrong, but depending what happened it is understandable. This is not a matter of dinner not being good enough, or any of those other feminist talking points being spewed out by Kather1ne. But you have to admit that there are times when someone is asking to be hit, men and women both. While it is, again, wrong to hit anyone, I don't think it's too hard to understand why people sometimes do.

    A friend of mine was married for 3 years, and one day while he was laying on his couch.....his wife came out of the kitchen wielding a butcher knife. She came down on top of him but luckily he was able to grab her wrists before he was stabbed. They wrestled around the room for a while, but he couldn't get the knife out of her hands. Finally he head-butted her and got the knife away from her hands. So she calls the cops and has the guy arrested for breaking her nose. Off to jail for the father of two, while the kids get to stay with phsyco bitch mom full time.

    That's not what I was saying at all, but you do a fabulous job of twisting peoples words around. Good job.
