Let me be clear, there is no excuse ever to lay hands on a woman in a violent manner. I mean, maybe if you are legitimately defending your life from a gun/knife/baseball bat or something...but even then its tricky in a court of law.
With that said, its obvious most men need to be punished and need to seriously re-assess themselves when they do beat a woman, and so should anyone guilty of physical abuse. However, I think it is pretty fukked up that some women use the fact that they will always have the benefit of the doubt in any physical dispute with a man so that they almost have diplomatic immunity when it comes to getting physical. It's real fukked up from a mental standpoint. Some do this because they know most men will not fight back whatsoever and if they do they will go to jail for a long time, its almost like baiting them into fukking their life up in certain situations if things go against what they want, which is to inflict physical harm and also, usually, establish some sort of dominance. Obviously, some men deserve it or whatever, but still, i dont think that violence is ever the best answer and should be avoided by both sides at all costs. Many can just as easily cut off ties with one another and stop putting themselves in a situation where they can be angered to a degree to result to such buffoonery, no matter the cause (or if alcohol/drugs are involved), and this goes for both genders.
