It's not that we support it, we just don't think it's bad. We laugh at it and call the men wimps.

Saw a report a few weeks ago where something like 90% of the time when the police are called to a domestic disturbance, where the male calls the cops due to an abusive female, the male is taken to jail.
I'll see if I can dig it up tonight.

I dont think any forms of abuse are ok, but there is that double standard. This. |

I would never say that to a man. It's similar to how the only people I've ever heard seriously say to me,"A woman's place is at home in the kitchen" are other women. I've heard men say it as a joke, but only to get a reaction from the women around them. |

This is a little embarrassing. My husband would never abuse me, ever. One time we were in a pretty intense argument. We had a lot of sh*t going on and there was a lot of pain for both of us. Anyways, angry enraged me smacked him in the back of the head, hard. I honestly ended up hurting myself more than him. It f*cking hurt. And all he did was say "why the hell did you punch me in the back of the head. Who does that?!"  Woops... |

Sometimes things are said and they escalate. If It's only been one time and one time only then he can be forgiven. Though if it's 24/7, then there is a huge problem.

Let me preface what I say with, I have never hit a woman in my life. I've never even come remotely close, and I have been hit by a woman before. I was raised to never hit a woman, no matter what, and that's my general first reaction.
That being said, my personal thoughts are, never hit anybody if you do not want to be hit back. A girl told me a story where a guy slapped her. I was furious, and felt like something needed to be done. As she continued the story it seemed odd and I stopped and asked her "did you hit him?" And she said 'well, yes, I slapped him first, but it still gives him no right.' That's bullsh*t. I get it, men are generally stronger physically than women. At the same time, if I go up to a 250 pound NFL linebacker that is clearly bigger and stronger than me in every way immaginable and slap him in the face, you're damn right in my head I know going in he's going to retaliate. What's the difference in these situations?
