When is violence against women justified?

I remember old movies (1930s-40s) when women were regarded as "hittable". There was one with Clark Gable said to Claudette Colbert that would like to be "slapped around" and it would happen when they got married and she would like it!. If hitting is part of a relationship the relationship should end, no questions asked.
 
I suppose you have ignored me all through this thread, because I have never argued that it is a good idea for women to hit men. I have argued that women shouldn't hit men, and men shouldn't hit women.

My issue is your statements on self defense. Given the video where the women intervenes on behalf of her friends, you said that she deserved to be hit as opposed to being a defensive person in the fight. You said you will always respect people defending themselves. I suppose you respect others for defending their family and friends as well, correct???

I don't logically follow how you can say he hit her in self defense, and she deserved it, given her story that was provided in the video content. :shrug:

She doesn't exactly seem to be belligerent and violent towards the male for no good reason... he was already fighting. So how should somebody react when there is a brawl and they don't want their friends or family to get hurt? Should a female react differently than a male in that situation?


I also wish you would address some of the issues I actually raised in my point. I have tried to have a productive conversation and bring in the female perspective on violence. You guys are saying there is no difference if a man or woman hits you. However, there is a big difference to a woman if another female on the street chases us down and punches us verses a man chasing us and getting physically violent. Women will simply not have that attitude that you and other men are portrayed in this thread, that there is no difference between a female or male directing violence towards you.

So when I say, as a female, I wouldn't date the man in the video who knocked the girl through the glass window, that is because it feels like risky decision to meet a guy like that.

You have a son. You don't have a daughter. Maybe you have a sister or some other girl you care about, want to protect, and give good advice to as far as protecting oneself goes. Would you tell a hypothetical daughter that she shouldn't be worried about meeting such a guy, he seems like a really good stand up guy, and he should respected as such based on his behavior in the video???

As a female, that is how I see world... :shrug:

You persist in ignoring my central theme here: if you don't want to get hit by a man, the simplest way to minimize that is by not hitting a man in the first place.

Some studies show that at least 1/3 of domestic violence is initiated by the female.

Don't start none, won't be none.

OTOH if you start it, my sympathy for you is going to be very limited.
