I’ve been cheated on a lot of times, but I’ve never hit anyone. Women have made me angry beyond words, but I have never hit them. There’s no excuse.
Bitch best check herself before she wrecks herself!
No, but seriously. Is abuse the topic of the day?
It is never okay to hit a woman….or anyone else for that matter. The only exception….self defense.
A man’s nothing without respect.
she need 2 do somethin about it ………….b4 she get her ass wooped
No woman deserves to be hit, unless she starts the swinging first, and even then restraint shiould be the order of the day….
Why do we feel so preachy today?
I attract these kind of people because life wasn’t wanted. You can’t even take it because they have it all planned. I isolate these days.
the only time it’s ok to hit a woman, is if you are smacking that ass while getting frisky
Hit her, kill her, whatever… just make sure there is enough bone damage in the face to make my job interesting.
Human beings are so stunningly, ridiculously, fucking stupid.
…What’s funny is that everyone will be outraged about this, but hitting and raping men is still 100% OK.
bitches gotta keep be tamed lol. but seriously, why even be in a relationship if you can’t be faithful.
@TheThinkingPerson - No it is not ok no more than it is to abuse a woman… abuse is wrong on so many levels
Ya know I can’t believe some of these comments I was hurt so badly by my ex that I was in the hospital and couldn’t work for several weeks just because I caught him cheating it is never right to hurt your other half
Violence toward a cheating spouse only makes it worse. It’s never ok for a man to hit a woman….NEVER
just don’t hit
Since this is the Theologian’s Cafe, I’ll get theological. Every deed, good or evil, gets paid back–sometime, somehow, somewhere. The Good Book says the Son of Man took a bunch of guff He didn’t rate from a bunch of people–all for others. And He didn’t lift a finger to stop it. A lot of people still get away with a lot of crap.
The Good Book also says if somebody is sincerely sorry and sincerely gets his head on straight, he can still get off the hook. Otherwise, at the End of the Road, stands the Son of Man–and this time not in so tolerant a mood–and–well, payback can be hell.
@SerenaDante - or at least throw a pot of boiling hot grits on them while they sleep!
@TheThinkingPerson - I wouldn’t say okay! Hitting, overlooked cause we’re physically stronger and less vulnerable yeah. And men being raped, is still okay? WHAT?! What deviant see’s that as okay?!
@SisterMom1954 - all my–i don’t know what word to use–regards? Sympathy? Commiseration? I’m a guy. Years ago I dated a gal abused by her ex. The guy was a church elder and no one believed her story. He had her psyched. He tried to beat up on her mother who was an invalid and the older woman put him in armtwist that made him squeal like a kid. I do a slow burn when I see and read such obvious crud like is here. I don’t give a rip if it’s meant to be sarcastic. Solidarity to you, ma’am.
I bet she won’t be repeating her behavior…. lol
I know you said those things just for the reaction but even joking about abuse and rape (as you’ve done in the past) is just wrong. It’s wrong regardless if the victim is male or female. Every time you post shit like this I instantly wonder how you would react if this was your daughter, mother or sister pictured up there. Stop stooping to these lows. You are better than that.
beating anyone at all by anyone at all… is not really an issue of what has been done… or who was at fault. The hitter obviously has a anger problem and a condition uncontrolable. One slap is no better than twenty, it shouldnt be done no matter what. People make mistakes, a woman makes mistakes…. just because we are female does not intitle a man to hit us when we are wrong. NO Matter the cirrcumstance.
Ooooh Dan. lol
A man does not do this.
Never have hit a woman; never will.
Get back to writing things people truly want to read and discuss, instead of writing just for controversy.
Of course it’s not okay. But when we speak of a woman hitting a man due to cheating it is an entirely different case. Remember the whole Tiger Woods incident. Elin beat the hell out of Tiger with a gold club. Many women applauded her. If that would have been a man hitting a woman he would have gotten hell, and nothing would justify him no matter what the woman had done. The press would be talking about him for years. I know a lot of women who said “hell yeah, I would have beat the shit out of him.” One of my close friends told me that she would do the same and also destroy his car if she was in that situation. Not okay no matter what the case. But it isn’t treated that way.
Playing up the hypocrisy card today?
You know who else used violence to settle their disputes? That’s right, Hitler did. And now he is mocked by cats and Rick Astley.
Did you know that 1 in 4 women will be abused by a romantic partner (US statistics)? During pregnancy, the stats are 1 in 5. A lot of people blame the woman, or ask “Why doesn’t she just leave?” The 6 months (some statistics say 2 years) following her leaving an abusive partner are when she is most likely to be killed by her ex-partner. It’s something like 10x more likely, but don’t quote me, I’d have to check my statistics on the exact number. We had a woman come into my Women’s Studies class today (the class is about interpersonal violence against women) and she spoke about her daughter, who is a “silent witness”. Silent witness means she was killed by her abusive partner. In this case, it was her husband. She left him, and was in the process of filing a protection order against him. He broke in to her apartment in Michigan and strangled her. He had a friend help him bury the body, but then they dug it up and reburied it in Bowling Green, Ohio. He then killed his friend (slit his throat). He made a plea deal in Ohio to get the death penalty taken off the table, admitting to the murder of his friend. They took the plea deal off the table because he agreed to take them to his wife’s body. He went on trial in Michigan because he refused to take a plea deal; he thought he could get away with it. He chose to be tried by a judge rather than a jury. He was convicted and given life without parole. He comes up for parole in Ohio within the next 5 or so years, but he’ll go straight to jail in Michigan.
violence is either okay both ways or neither. and if neither, then there is no gradient of ‘less or more okay’.
violence begets violence. and in an isolated world, vengeance (aka nor-adrenaline) is the best medicine. too bad they don’t know the joys of internet trolling, alas.
two wrongs dont make a right…dont repay evil with evil..it is wrong to hit people in general…it is wrong to cheat.. there are different circumstances for everyone.. abuse is bad… it effects a person mentally for the rest of their life..whether it be man or woman there.. there are men that are abused my women.love makes you do crazy things so the people stay and try and work things out..but it clearly states in the bible..cheating is grounds for divorce.. it is stated in MATTHEW 5:27 28 and 32..anyhow dan this was a good post it ruffled some feathers…. but no big deal… anyways Dan we really need to hang out soon.. mabe downtown sometime or maybe coffee at the book store at deerbrook mall loved to hang with ya., hugs have a greatNITE,,,
@Cognizant_Wolf - To keep my response short and avoid going into the lecture mode; It’s NOT okay to hit a woman.
How not? If a woman knowingly stays in an abusive relationship, isn’t she essentially granting the man consent?
Men who do this sort of thing are less than men! My grandfather once found his sister had been abused by her drunken husband so he went and sorted the guy out with his fists. Interesting that his sister never had any more problems!
i really don’t know what to think about this post…is it sarcastic or not.
I see that all the time – what shocks me is that the women go back – I don’t understand it.
Cheating or not, I still don’t think that’s okay. People need to learn that violence does not help the situation.
Any man who hits a women is a pus. THere is no reason a man needs to hit a women. If you doushe bags think its ok to hit a women why don’t you come over and try and take your fustration out on me. I will beat your ass and you’ll think twice before you ever lay a hand on another women. It s so easy just to walk a way.
@TheThinkingPerson - no one ever said that except you, it’s not being brought up because women don’t normally attack their partners, spouces, whatever.
I say spankings are more civilized.
Dan sent me a private message saying he was only repeating comments made by women towards men in his previous post, which I admit I had not read. I will publicly apologize for “attacking” him about this post. However, I will stand by my conviction that when things are phrased in a certain way it brings a lot of comments that people may believe are humorous but diminish the victims.
@OhItWontBeForever - WOW!! I just watched that video! Crazy man! It’s a shame (double standard) that they didn’t rush and restrain her first at all!
What do you say to a woman with 2 black eyes? Nothing. You told her twice.
Sometime I wished I was hit by my husband. I was emotionally abused for years, instead. But there was no bit swelling blackened puffy area around my left eye to show anyone. I looked in the mirror, and I looked the same.
If I cheated, my husband would NOT hit me. The guy, on the other hand, would be lucky to come out of it with just a black eye.
@SerenaDante - As a culture, we cheer when a woman who’s been beaten by her husband for a decade grabs a gun and stands up for herself (even if we should know that the act can’t be legally or morally justified because she had plenty of chances to get out and the whole of society on her side,) but what if the shoe’s on the other foot?
As a male, I am alternately amused and horrified (because I’m not allowed to be scared) to be a member of the disposable sex.
If she had it coming, or if she was attacking him, go ahead and slap her, I would (and I’m a girl). But— don’t beat her a$$.
If a woman hits a man then yeah she might have it comming. MIGHT! Any other reason (Including cheating) NO!
Some of you know me already. My screen name on xanga is based on a verse from the book of Ruth, where Naomi, who has experienced terrible things in life, says, “Don’t call me Naomi anymore. Call me Mara, which means bitter, because God has dealt bitterly with me.” I was married for eleven years, three of them good, eight of them hell. If you read my blog, starting with about 2005, two years after I left, you will see how far I have come. My husband wanted to kill me. I am a domestic violence counselor now, and I help women as God brings them my way. There is NEVER, EVER, EVER an excuse to hit a woman. NEVER. I am a Christian, but I also believe in Karma. And God and his judgment are real!
I was always taught not to hit women. Hitting my big sister back became okay because if I didn’t she would kick my ass every day. I taught my two boys not to hit women. I had to alter this a bit when my youngest was in the third grade because there was a girl who took great delight in kicking him in the testicles (which risks testicular torsion, I should add.) My alterations was thus: If a woman is going to come at you fighting like a man, then treat her like one.
On the medic yesterday I dealt with a woman who had been beaten by her husband’s girlfriend while her husband held her down. How does that fit into your equation?
@Elegast - No, she is not granting him consent. Women get scared that if they leave, the guy will hunt them down and possibly kill them. Or the man has brain washed them to believe they deserve it.
This reminds me of a song by Prodigy. I really like that song.
@osmundaregalis - You are right. It doesn’t matter if the person is a man or a woman. Violence isn’t the answer.
When I was a girl, my dad told me that a man should never hit a woman…..BUT if the woman hits the man first, she has put herself in a man’s shoes. I only hit my husband once…and he didn’t hit me back…but I still ducked.
Never okay to hit a women – unless she is trying to kill you:)
I’ll gladly join the chorus against hitting women.
But a obvious comment-whore?
Smack him upside the head. . .
I think we should all hug and bake each other cookies.
this is so touching. i was in an abusive relationship and it is scary. you feel like you have nowhere to go. then one day you just don’t care and stand your ground or get help. i feel for all the women out there that go through this.
this is messed up regardless of the situationhe shouldnt hit her :/

is it ok for a woman to cut off a man’s penis and/or balls because HE cheated on her?
regardless of who did who wat and who was right or wrong.
when someone cheats on you don’t waste time getting physical. just do one thing.
exchange very harsh words with them and leave their ass!
enough said!
WTF?! Is this seriously even debatable!?! Once again it boggles my mind that something so blatently wrong some people agree with. Cheating is bad, but you never ever hit a women. To compare two things that are bad but not at all the same is stupid.
OMG. Its so sad to know that these kind of abuses go on every single day. A man should NEVER raise his hand to a woman. there are other ways of solving problems. I mean we are humans and we make mistakes we are not perfect. How can you treat someone that you love/loved that way?? A woman is precious and men need to learn how to cherish us.

@ksnomad - every perpetrator thinks it’s ‘self defence’, that is the whole point. Placing the blame on the victim, it is the victim’s fault. The abusers are only defending their rights. Self defence.
@anon - As a man that has had his butt kicked while stepping in to stop a fight between a woman and a man that I knew niether of……thanks for making me the villan. I appreciate it so much. Next time I see it I will let it just happen. Then I can be guilty of ommision.
I am sure I will take heat for this – but I do believe a woman can bring it on. Just like a man can. The difference, as you said in your last entry is that men are stronger. In most cases, the man has the option to throw the woman off of him and escape. However, in most cases the woman just has to do her best to survive and hope she makes it through. Also, usually if a woman hits a man as hard as she can, the worst will be a bruise or a broken nose, however if a man starts pounding on a woman’s face, he could turn it into jelly. So there is cause for a double standard. In a fight they are not equal.
My current husband was raised in a home where his mother abused his father. Not physically, but emotionally. She did throw things too, but she constantly yelled at him, spent the money as fast as he could earn it but did not work, accused him of cheating when she probably did herself, and all in all did her best to provoke him. Amazingly though, he never hit her. In the end the difference is the after math. A man who has been beat is usually in better shape than a woman who has been beat. And also men can scrap it out and roll in the dirt and fight and a week later be buddies again because men understand violence in a different way. A man getting hit is seen as a lesson learned. A woman getting hit is seen as dominance.
I think it’s really wrong to hit a lady but it never wrong to hit a bitch. =P
My father used to hit me..I never thought it was ok..Violence against another human being is never ok.
I learned a powerful childhood lesson. I stopped the violence and never hit my children. Never.
Be careful what you teach your children as they observe closely all that you say and DO.

YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!! You cannot possibly call yourself a theologian and believe in violence against women ( or anyone, for that matter) I’m so pissed at the same old tired ideas that do nothing but perpetuate an out-dated, unwanted, disrespectful way of thinking of over half the worlds population! SHAME ON YOU!!
By watching these runners in action, the developers realized that the running cheap MBT shoes would need to allow for perfect posture with each step. cheap MBT shoe seem to have a lot of health benefits because of their odd design.
When the designers were first coming up with the idea of MBT shoes sale , they looked to East African runners. In my mind, the MBT Sale worth you are investing, not only stylish, but also benefit for your health, why not buy one pair for yourself?
i dont believe in abuse, but if a guy tried to hit me, i know how to defend myself and his ass will be on the floor
People getting slapped usually don’t have a black eye afterwards… My stepfather used to try to feed me that BS.
Geeze, Dan.
No excuse. The guy is a pussy. She wouldn’t have cheated in the first place if all was well in the relationship.

If a man hits a woman he deserves to die, or give him Jail time and he will then get the same from the Cons if they find out and then he will never hit a woman again. But the sad part is one Hit leads to many more, A man never stops after 1. So if one hit happens a woman should leave him because 99 % of the time it will not stop… A big part of woman’s beauty is in her face. I too learned this long ago, wrestling, playing with my Girlfriend of old. She bumped her face on my head, broke her nose… I almost died, it was an accident, she forgave me, but 1,500 dollars at a plastic surgeon - she looked great after. But I then found out a woman is very tender. Men hit men, that is normal (Boys will be Boys), but any man who hits a woman, is not a man. There is NO excuse…
NO NO NO. She may have done him wrong, but that doesn’t mean she can be abused like that. Just end the relationship. Violence solves nothing in relationships!!!!!!!
When I was a little girl, my father cheated on my mother with a nineteen year old. Had two children with her, while they were still married. He abused my mother, and I witnessed it. It was sickening. My mom has been hurt by him too many times, and she can’t even breathe out of her left nostril because he punched her so hard. She has chipped teeth. I love her so much, and I am glad she is with someone, someone who treats her right. I know this isn’t the same as this situation, but I am making a point that VIOLENCE SOLVES NOTHING!
Gosh, he had the right to if she did those things. It’s just too bad, that after ~ she karate kicked him and lacerated his liver.
He really shouldn’t have hit her and forced her to defend herself like that. I guess he had it coming. =(
NO form of abuse is ok. period. I can’t/won’t say more. I’m a survivor of this.
>Not a whole goddamned lot, but still trolled pretty hard nonetheless
It is not acceptable for Man to hit a Woman. That is all there is to it. I don’t care if they had it coming or not. A big bad man betting around a defenceless woman, shows that he is nothing more then a heartless thug on worthy of the title of Man.
Are you kidding? Hitting women is illegal.
‘Violence against women, Australia says no.’
@SlackerSociety - Ignorant comment, What do expect from a NEGRO. Still got that jungle bush bunny mentality.
@nativesquaw - Wait till Shrea Law is approved in the US and it will be legal.
@nativesquaw - Dan does not believe in violence. He was trying to get a dialogue going by leading in with some of the excuses men make when they hit women they love.
@nyfemme - Having been a victim of a brutal abuser, I have heard all those excuses and then some. I wound up having open-heart surgery due to blood clots in my aorta directly caused by the beatings. I apologize if I misunderstood his meaning, but this is a subject I find particularly appalling.
@nativesquaw - I understand. I am sorry that you were stuck in such an abusive relationship.
@nyfemme - I have had to come to terms with it, and the fact that it was so long ago matters not one whit when I think of it. It was pre-stalking laws; there were very few shelters, and I got laughed at by a cop (and I was looking at him through two black eyes and had a tooth sticking through my lower lip) it was very bad. BUT I have to admit it helped me become the person I am now. And I am someone I actually like, if you understand.
Hitting a woman is only ok if she’s trying to KILL you. Literally coming at you with a knife, baseball bat, firearm, etc. In other words only in self defense is it ever alright, to hit anyone.
You ought to put one up about men abused by their girls, too
Boy, for being a fucking fearful sheep, I bet you would HAVE BEGGED for a firearm to defend yourself with as you were being beaten to within an inch of your life.

Hitting is wrong, didnt we all learn that when we were a child.
No excuses allowed.

Men who do this sort of thing are less than men! My grandfather once found his sister had been abused by her drunken husband so he went and sorted the guy out with his fists. Interesting that his sister never had any more problems!
@grammarboy - Agreed.
But hey I’m a woman and she’s a woman..I can hit back
I am guessing you are trying to raise a discussion here, out abusers here, or what?
“I was depressed”
“I was drunk”
“I was angry”
“You made me do it”
are clearly all viable answers.
You should go to Youtube and search “how can she slap.” It’s insane.
@SerenaDante - YES! ahaha
i really don’t know what to think about this post…is it sarcastic or not.
I see that all the time – what shocks me is that the women go back – I don’t understand it.
Cheating or not, I still don’t think that’s okay. People need to learn that violence does not help the situation.
Any man who hits a women is a pus. THere is no reason a man needs to hit a women. If you doushe bags think its ok to hit a women why don’t you come over and try and take your fustration out on me. I will beat your ass and you’ll think twice before you ever lay a hand on another women. It s so easy just to walk a way.
@TheThinkingPerson - no one ever said that except you, it’s not being brought up because women don’t normally attack their partners, spouces, whatever.
I say spankings are more civilized.
Dan sent me a private message saying he was only repeating comments made by women towards men in his previous post, which I admit I had not read. I will publicly apologize for “attacking” him about this post. However, I will stand by my conviction that when things are phrased in a certain way it brings a lot of comments that people may believe are humorous but diminish the victims.
@wrybreadspread - Thanks for the sweet comment
hitting is not right
@OhItWontBeForever - WOW!! I just watched that video! Crazy man! It’s a shame (double standard) that they didn’t rush and restrain her first at all!
What do you say to a woman with 2 black eyes?
Nothing. You told her twice.
Sometime I wished I was hit by my husband. I was emotionally abused for years, instead. But there was no bit swelling blackened puffy area around my left eye to show anyone. I looked in the mirror, and I looked the same.
If I cheated, my husband would NOT hit me. The guy, on the other hand, would be lucky to come out of it with just a black eye.
@SerenaDante - As a culture, we cheer when a woman who’s been beaten by her husband for a decade grabs a gun and stands up for herself (even if we should know that the act can’t be legally or morally justified because she had plenty of chances to get out and the whole of society on her side,) but what if the shoe’s on the other foot?
As a male, I am alternately amused and horrified (because I’m not allowed to be scared) to be a member of the disposable sex.
If she had it coming, or if she was attacking him, go ahead and slap her, I would (and I’m a girl). But— don’t beat her a$$.
She better open a can of whoopass!
But really, no one should lay a hand on anyone.
@bluepillorredpill - EXACTLY.
In all honesty, she deserved it.
If a woman hits a man then yeah she might have it comming. MIGHT! Any other reason (Including cheating) NO!
Some of you know me already. My screen name on xanga is based on a verse from the book of Ruth, where Naomi, who has experienced terrible things in life, says, “Don’t call me Naomi anymore. Call me Mara, which means bitter, because God has dealt bitterly with me.” I was married for eleven years, three of them good, eight of them hell. If you read my blog, starting with about 2005, two years after I left, you will see how far I have come. My husband wanted to kill me. I am a domestic violence counselor now, and I help women as God brings them my way. There is NEVER, EVER, EVER an excuse to hit a woman. NEVER. I am a Christian, but I also believe in Karma. And God and his judgment are real!
I was always taught not to hit women. Hitting my big sister back became okay because if I didn’t she would kick my ass every day. I taught my two boys not to hit women. I had to alter this a bit when my youngest was in the third grade because there was a girl who took great delight in kicking him in the testicles (which risks testicular torsion, I should add.) My alterations was thus: If a woman is going to come at you fighting like a man, then treat her like one.
On the medic yesterday I dealt with a woman who had been beaten by her husband’s girlfriend while her husband held her down. How does that fit into your equation?
@Elegast - No, she is not granting him consent. Women get scared that if they leave, the guy will hunt them down and possibly kill them. Or the man has brain washed them to believe they deserve it.
This reminds me of a song by Prodigy. I really like that song.
@osmundaregalis - You are right. It doesn’t matter if the person is a man or a woman. Violence isn’t the answer.
When I was a girl, my dad told me that a man should never hit a woman…..BUT if the woman hits the man first, she has put herself in a man’s shoes. I only hit my husband once…and he didn’t hit me back…but I still ducked.
Never okay to hit a women – unless she is trying to kill you:)
@SerenaDante - Amen.
You’re cool.
THANK YOU for this. I hope people realize what you’re trying to say!
@AceValentineRocks - hells ya!!!!!!
I’ll gladly join the chorus against hitting women.
But a obvious comment-whore?
Smack him upside the head. . .
I think we should all hug and bake each other cookies.
this is so touching. i was in an abusive relationship and it is scary. you feel like you have nowhere to go. then one day you just don’t care and stand your ground or get help. i feel for all the women out there that go through this.
this is messed up regardless of the situationhe shouldnt hit her :/
The flamboyant London-based links of london innovative designs with diamonds have made him first choice for the young, hip and super-rich.When Pierce Brosnan proposed to his wife, Keely, it was Morris he turned to for the ring; and the cushion diamond on the finger of the S Club singer Rachel Stevens was bought by her fiance, the actor Jeremy Edwards, at Morris’s New Bond Street store Links of London Rings .Not everyone waits until they are getting married.

@TheThinkingPerson - So true!

is it ok for a woman to cut off a man’s penis and/or balls because HE cheated on her?
regardless of who did who wat and who was right or wrong.
when someone cheats on you don’t waste time getting physical. just do one thing.
exchange very harsh words with them and leave their ass!
enough said!
WTF?! Is this seriously even debatable!?! Once again it boggles my mind that something so blatently wrong some people agree with. Cheating is bad, but you never ever hit a women. To compare two things that are bad but not at all the same is stupid.
OMG. Its so sad to know that these kind of abuses go on every single day. A man should NEVER raise his hand to a woman. there are other ways of solving problems. I mean we are humans and we make mistakes we are not perfect. How can you treat someone that you love/loved that way?? A woman is precious and men need to learn how to cherish us.

@ksnomad - every perpetrator thinks it’s ‘self defence’, that is the whole point. Placing the blame on the victim, it is the victim’s fault. The abusers are only defending their rights. Self defence.
@anon - As a man that has had his butt kicked while stepping in to stop a fight between a woman and a man that I knew niether of……thanks for making me the villan. I appreciate it so much. Next time I see it I will let it just happen. Then I can be guilty of ommision.
I am sure I will take heat for this – but I do believe a woman can bring it on. Just like a man can. The difference, as you said in your last entry is that men are stronger. In most cases, the man has the option to throw the woman off of him and escape. However, in most cases the woman just has to do her best to survive and hope she makes it through. Also, usually if a woman hits a man as hard as she can, the worst will be a bruise or a broken nose, however if a man starts pounding on a woman’s face, he could turn it into jelly. So there is cause for a double standard. In a fight they are not equal.
My current husband was raised in a home where his mother abused his father. Not physically, but emotionally. She did throw things too, but she constantly yelled at him, spent the money as fast as he could earn it but did not work, accused him of cheating when she probably did herself, and all in all did her best to provoke him. Amazingly though, he never hit her.
In the end the difference is the after math. A man who has been beat is usually in better shape than a woman who has been beat. And also men can scrap it out and roll in the dirt and fight and a week later be buddies again because men understand violence in a different way. A man getting hit is seen as a lesson learned. A woman getting hit is seen as dominance.
I think it’s really wrong to hit a lady but it never wrong to hit a bitch. =P
My father used to hit me..I never thought it was ok..Violence against another human being is never ok.
I learned a powerful childhood lesson. I stopped the violence and never hit my children. Never.
Be careful what you teach your children as they observe closely all that you say and DO.

YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!! You cannot possibly call yourself a theologian and believe in violence against women ( or anyone, for that matter) I’m so pissed at the same old tired ideas that do nothing but perpetuate an out-dated, unwanted, disrespectful way of thinking of over half the worlds population! SHAME ON YOU!!
By watching these runners in action, the developers realized that the running cheap MBT shoes would need to allow for perfect posture with each step. cheap MBT shoe seem to have a lot of health benefits because of their odd design.
When the designers were first coming up with the idea of MBT shoes sale , they looked to East African runners. In my mind, the MBT Sale worth you are investing, not only stylish, but also benefit for your health, why not buy one pair for yourself?
i dont believe in abuse, but if a guy tried to hit me, i know how to defend myself and his ass will be on the floor
People getting slapped usually don’t have a black eye afterwards… My stepfather used to try to feed me that BS.
Geeze, Dan.
No excuse. The guy is a pussy. She wouldn’t have cheated in the first place if all was well in the relationship.

If a man hits a woman he deserves to die, or give him Jail time and he will then get the same from the Cons if they find out and then he will never hit a woman again. But the sad part is one Hit leads to many more, A man never stops after 1. So if one hit happens a woman should leave him because 99 % of the time it will not stop… A big part of woman’s beauty is in her face. I too learned this long ago, wrestling, playing with my Girlfriend of old. She bumped her face on my head, broke her nose… I almost died, it was an accident, she forgave me, but 1,500 dollars at a plastic surgeon - she looked great after. But I then found out a woman is very tender. Men hit men, that is normal (Boys will be Boys), but any man who hits a woman, is not a man. There is NO excuse…
NO NO NO. She may have done him wrong, but that doesn’t mean she can be abused like that. Just end the relationship. Violence solves nothing in relationships!!!!!!!
When I was a little girl, my father cheated on my mother with a nineteen year old. Had two children with her, while they were still married. He abused my mother, and I witnessed it. It was sickening. My mom has been hurt by him too many times, and she can’t even breathe out of her left nostril because he punched her so hard. She has chipped teeth. I love her so much, and I am glad she is with someone, someone who treats her right. I know this isn’t the same as this situation, but I am making a point that VIOLENCE SOLVES NOTHING!
Gosh, he had the right to if she did those things. It’s just too bad, that after ~ she karate kicked him and lacerated his liver.
He really shouldn’t have hit her and forced her to defend herself like that. I guess he had it coming. =(
NO form of abuse is ok. period. I can’t/won’t say more. I’m a survivor of this.
@SerenaDante -
No, that’s why women need to learn to stop antagonizing larger, more aggressive, short-tempered creatures than themselves.
Bitch, please, you wouldn’t know how to operate a revolver if it sat on your egotistical face.
@nativesquaw -
So exactly just HOW hard have you been trolled?
Please choose one:
> A whole goddamned lot
>Not a whole goddamned lot, but still trolled pretty hard nonetheless
It is not acceptable for Man to hit a Woman. That is all there is to it. I don’t care if they had it coming or not. A big bad man betting around a defenceless woman, shows that he is nothing more then a heartless thug on worthy of the title of Man.
Are you kidding? Hitting women is illegal.
‘Violence against women, Australia says no.’
@SlackerSociety - Ignorant comment, What do expect from a NEGRO. Still got that jungle bush bunny mentality.
@nativesquaw - Wait till Shrea Law is approved in the US and it will be legal.
@nativesquaw - Dan does not believe in violence. He was trying to get a dialogue going by leading in with some of the excuses men make when they hit women they love.
@nyfemme - Having been a victim of a brutal abuser, I have heard all those excuses and then some. I wound up having open-heart surgery due to blood clots in my aorta directly caused by the beatings. I apologize if I misunderstood his meaning, but this is a subject I find particularly appalling.
@nativesquaw - I understand. I am sorry that you were stuck in such an abusive relationship.
@nyfemme - I have had to come to terms with it, and the fact that it was so long ago matters not one whit when I think of it. It was pre-stalking laws; there were very few shelters, and I got laughed at by a cop (and I was looking at him through two black eyes and had a tooth sticking through my lower lip) it was very bad. BUT I have to admit it helped me become the person I am now. And I am someone I actually like, if you understand.
Hitting a woman is only ok if she’s trying to KILL you. Literally coming at you with a knife, baseball bat, firearm, etc. In other words only in self defense is it ever alright, to hit anyone.
You ought to put one up about men abused by their girls, too
@nativesquaw -
Boy, for being a fucking fearful sheep, I bet you would HAVE BEGGED for a firearm to defend yourself with as you were being beaten to within an inch of your life.
