Public Fighting

I would never hit a woman. Never, ever, never hit a woman.

I'LL SHAKE THE **** OUT OF HER THOUGH!

Your husband is an ass.

Him (whispering): Sometimes you make me so mad I could just hit you to teach you.

Me (very loud in a room full of diners): IF YOU EVER LAY A HAND ON ME, I WILL PICK UP A CHAIR (pointing) AND SMASH IT OVER YOUR F*CKING HEAD!!!

He immediatly backed off walked out, we got in the car (I was driving) I took him back to his place...said "get out" and that was it.

No, he is an arse and she's an enabler. She documents several situations. It's a trend.

Anyway, back to punching the girl out....I have personally known women who really take advantage of that "don't ever hit a girl" stuff they learned.

Some 75 year old woman realizing she's as strong as her 79 year old husband and just whalloping back. I'd pay money to see that.

My husband has this...I'd love to call it a disorder...where when he gets it in his mind to do something, I better damn well feel the same way...

His new obsession is working out, therefore it should be mine as well...

My husband decided one night..years ago, that he wanted to fight, fist fight. I could tell what was coming by the way he was talking and throwing his hands around. I tried to avoid the situation, but there was no getting away from it. He slapped, shoved....and screamed, then I doe popped him off his feet. Told him, "If you wanna fight, bring it on buddy...I'm not going to take your sh!t..!!"

That ended that.......

I always said....If you're gonna hit me, you better make damn sure I can't get up.

Oh, but that's just so un-PC syn...how can you say that about someone when it's going to make them feel "less than"

Oh wait, you can't "make" anyone feel something...you own your own feelings and are responsible for your reactions to other words. Plus, maybe the other person was just expressing something in a way you're having trouble assimilating

Very little in known about the actual number of men who are in a domestic relationship in which they are abused or treated violently by women. In 100 domestic violence situations approximately 40 cases involve violence by women against men. An estimated 400,000 women per year are abused or treated violently in the United States by their spouse or intimate partner. This means that roughly 300,000 to 400,000 men are treated violently by their wife or girl friend.

There are many reasons why we don't know more about domestic abuse and violence against men. First of all, the incidence of domestic violence reported men appears to be so low that it is hard to get reliable estimates. In addition, it has taken years of advocacy and support to encourage women to report domestic violence. Virtually nothing has been done to encourage men to report abuse. The idea that men could be victims of domestic abuse and violence is so unthinkable that many men will not even attempt to report the situation.

I believe most states have a mandatory arrest for any domestic disputes (and guess who would have been arrested).

You are correct. The male is assumed to be the abuser, unless the police see the woman being abusive or the male is the only one with any wounds. And even in the latter case, if the female is the one that initiated the phone call, there is still a chance the male may go anyway.
And stats will show that the majority, if not the vast majority, of the time, the male is the abuser.

BBC Here and Now MORI Poll
All serious studies into domestic violence show a roughly equal balance between the genders. Some studies have shown that there is a higher rate of domestic violence amongst lesbian than heterosexual couples.poll undertaken by MORI and commissioned by Here and Now had these main findings:


One in five (18 percent) of men have been victims of domestic violence by a wife or female partner as opposed to 13 percent of women by a man.

One in nine women admit to having used physical aggression against a husband or male partner (compared to one in ten men)

14 percent of men say that they have been slapped by a partner (compared to 9 percent of women)

11 percent of men have had a partner threaten to throw something heavy at them (compared to 8 percent of women)

Only 4 percent of women explained that their behavior (either verbal or physical) was because of drink or drugs (compared to ten percent of men)

Nearly half (47 percent) of women say that their behaviour (physical or verbal aggression or verbal reasoning) was because "it was the only way I could get through to him"

Working class men (20 percent) are more likely to have been subjected to physical agression by a wife or female partner than upper or middle class men (15 percent)

Here and Now's survey reveals that fifteen percent (6.3 million people) of the population say that they have been subjected to physical agression by a husband/wife or hetrosexual partner.

MORI interviewed a representitive quota sample of 1,978 adults in Great Britain. 1,865 of whom had ever been in a personal relationship with the opposite sex.

Field work was conducted from 17-21 November 1994 in 150 constituencies. All interviews were conducted face to face in home employing a self completion technique. Data have been weighted to the known profile of the British population.

Erin Pitzey
Following is a quote from Erin Pitzey (received in a personal email) who as the founder of the world's first women refuge should be qualified to comment. She said:


"...it saddens me that we even have to have a women's movement and a men's movement but really there was no choice. I couldn't stop the feminist movement from hi-jacking my work in London at my refuge in Chiswick. They wanted funding and my work, twenty-five years ago - as the first refuge in the world seemed heaven sent for them. No matter that I told them that out of the first hundred women that came into Chiswick sixty-two were as violent as the men they left. I couldn't get any coverage for the truth. 'All men are bastards and rapists' is the only truth that the women's movement were prepared to hear....Now, with the help of this evil movement father's role in family life seems to be irrelevant....."
These seem to be very wise words but Erin received death threats from women just for standing up and speaking out against anti-male hatred propaganda.

Reading this thread I see an instance of a woman punching her husband as he was coming at her moving his hands like he might hit her.

Another woman yells out in a public place that she will break a chair over her boyfriends head after an assumed threat.

Again...can't say that has ever happened to me. We have gotten into physical fights before. We were both drinking and usually one thing leads to another and he ended up getting claw marks all over his chest. But it takes alot to get me to that kind of a violent level. I won't get there unless I feel threatened.
