Do you expect maturity each and every time someone goads you, taunts you, goes after those things that you both know are sure to set you off?
Really? Each and every time?

How does one manage that?

My bad, she's a woman, so she can do no wrong.

He punched her. What, in your mind, are punch-worthy offenses?

SUPRMAN said:

1) Pre-edit: I didn't say that applied to one sex and not the other.
2) Post-edit: There's leaving the person. There's the option to attacking someone nearly half your size, isn't there? There's realizing you're in an unhealthy relationship and realizing you don't have to remain a party to it. Obviously, somewhere along the way, they realized that, too.

Am I reading this right? Are there actually people, here on the org who think that its ok for a man to punch a woman?!

I have no idea why we expect to impose rational thought on people who are obviously in and reacting in an emotional state.
We know the right answer for the quiz, but life isn't that black and white and unemotional.
In a relationship of length, you know verbally when someone sucker punches you, throws a low blow, or uses a knife.
But we expect people to act as if these things don't exist anymore.

According to a Whitemarsh Police Department report, after Howard and Lori McCommas argued on the phone, the actor warned, “Don’t disrespect me by hanging up on me or I’ll come over and hurt you.” McCommas then “hung up and contacted 911 fearing Howard was serious.” While McCommas was speaking with a police dispatcher, Howard “showed up at the victim’s residence and began breaking the door down.” McCommas ran to the rear of the house and into the backyard. Howard then “broke the front door down and ran through the screen door in the kitchen. Howard then grabbed the victim’s left arm and punched her twice with a closed fist in the left side of the face.”

But there are actually people here on the org who think it's ok for a woman to punch a man in self defense, but the man should walk away in self defense
There are double standards everywhere, even on the org...

Ummmm, I was alluding to the wacky assertion of many in another thread that Rihanna prolly started the fight with Chris and deserved to get beat down.

Oh, I SEE! I thought that statement was a bit odd, coming from you.

The only time it's ok for a man to hit a woman is if she has a weapon and is threatening his life. Other than that, he has to walk away. How would it look for a man to hit a woman half his size?

I always thought he was a punk ass.

What the fuck does size or sex have to do with anything?
