Re: Should Men be able to hit Women?
My dad told us we should never hit a girl. There was nine of us boys and three girls as kids. Yes twelve kids, one mother and no twins. I later changed that to "you never hit a lady" simply because a lady won't give you a reason to hit her. (I am not the abusive male chauvinist) Be that as it may, I did strike my ex-wife once. I was married to an addict and addicts tend to get very physical at times. I would usually just walk away but this time I was driving down the road when she began pummeling me with both fists as I was driving. I backhanded her, which stopped the attack, pulled the car over and walked the 4 miles home leaving her to drive the car home. I don't feel I was wrong or excessive but I did not want to remain in the car with her. The last three years we were together were hellish and I happily divorced her.
