Beating the man.Follow

Thats the "heaving bosom" effect for you.

Bullsh*t. Physical abuse is abuse involving contact intended to cause pain, injury, or other physical suffering or harm. Just about every man on the f'cking planet has been abused by a woman. Women get away with it because they're...well, women.

Look, you might have personal "I'm a giant sissy" issues to deal with, but don't project them onto the rest of your gender. It's not "physical abuse" if you're laughing about it ten minutes later.

So as long as the wife can take a punch and has a forgiving personality, it's ok to hit her?

I'm not sure if it is as much he's a giant sissy as he might have some major mother issues.

You think? I find most of the misogynistic "it's a double standard for women, they're so lucky to be women to be able to take advantage of all the unfair bias towards them in society" largely just want to blow sailors but for whatever reason can't externalize it.

Maybe he just has a major Oedipal complex but instead of the classic triangle, he wants to kill his mother and fUck his father.

Actually it's us men that are creating this particular double standard, so I don't see how it's misogynistic. I'm basically saying men are f'cking stupid for not holding women up to the same standards as men when it comes to abuse.

Your saying you don't see how men deciding that women require special treatment because they're weak is misogynistic? Interesting.


Also, it's "we men who" not that I care, really, but for future reference.

Thwarted? Perhaps that is why you recreate the same dynamic repetitively, in the hope of finally succeeding?

I've got $20 you're attracted to over dramatic Tennessee Williams heroine type of women who are always in some crisis or another, and you just can't imagine why you keep ending up with them.

Life's such a crazy mystery.

I'm saying that men deciding it's ok for women to hit them because they can take it is stupid.

Sure, I guess that makes sense. We should probably lock people up for patting their children on the heads, too. Sure, the kids can take it, but it's still unsolicited physical attention.

If it hasn't happened yet it's pretty much inevitable.

Female abusers are much more likely to use a weapon than a male abuser, it more than makes up for the weight disparity.

If a woman, who was hit by a man, said that it was not abuse because it only happened once in while and the woman never let the man take control through the hitting, then most people would say that she is wrong and it is still abuse. Swap the words man and woman and people give a different answer. It is a double standard. Physical abuse is not about being controlled, it is about being assaulted, and every person, male or female has a right not to be assaulted. Being controlled through physical abuse is another level of abuse entirely, on top of the physical abuse.
