If you think about it, there has got to be something provoking the husband!!! I mean, women are "usually" better with words, so since the husband cannot find a way to fight back with words, his only way would be to punch her lights out a couple times in retaliation to her uncanny b1tchiness. Think about it.

Think about it. Yes it is true that some women can be verbally very and skillfully abusive. They can hit the nail right on the head, verbally. You are a man. To hit a woman when you are not being physically assaulted is bad form. Walk Away!!. Men have 40% superiority in upper body strength, on average. The are designed by evolution to punch and punch hard. You can count on the fingers of one hand the number of women who are Ali's daughter. This is the real world; not Hollywood. I do not care what feminist of any stripe say. A real man protects women. Even real men have been known to lose control, but they do not ball their fist. The fist is the weapon that men use between themselves and I do not want to hear any more "Happy Bullet " nonsense about this any more.

Usually the type of women who stay in abusive relationships are not the type to try and provoke a reaction. They are usually very insecure types with low self esteem. In fact, a physically abusive husband's idea of 'provoking' their aggressions could be considered something as trivial as having the dinner ready 5 minutes late or not vaccuming the house by 8.00am. If you think that is justifiable, then obviously you are not mature enought to be asking questions on here.
Take care.

Contrary to popular belief, women are NOT "better at words" than men. Men and women are equally capable of communicating.
While most domestic violence does have some provocation, that does not justify it. By your argument, you could claim that the abused woman was being mean to her husband because HE did something to provoke HER.
In actuality, we should all be held responsible for our own actions; there are NO excuses for mistreating another person. If someone (man or woman) is saying mean things, they are in the wrong, regardless of what their victim did to provoke it. Likewise, if someone (man or woman) is being physically abusive, they are also in the wrong.
Most importantly, physical abuse is more immoral than being "b1tchy", as you put it, because it is more permanent and damaging. Hurt feelings can fade away or be ignored, but physical injuries can scar or even kill. So if a man is physically abusing a woman and she is emotionally abusing him, he is a considerably greater threat than she is and should be jailed accordingly.

In some situations, yes. But in most cases of abuse, something as simple as spilling milk could set off physical abuse...is that right? Does a woman who spills a glass of milk deserve to get beaten? I have honestly seen people in relationships where they beat each other up and in that case, yes they deserve to get beat up. You provoke someone, you are going to get your butt kicked or kick some butt. But in general there is no real good reason for a man to abuse his wife just for being a *****. IF that were the case, most women would get beaten for a week straight every month because they were PMSing!

That's an interesting perspective but an emotionally mature adult can find ways to express his feelings without resorting to violence. Sure, women can be bitches, but a non-abusive male would say "I can't deal with you right now because you're acting bitchy so I'm leaving ".... go play pool, whatever. And just because women are usually better with words does not mean a male is incapapable of using words, just that it might present more of a challenge. Real men don't pick on women, who are obviously (usually) physically weaker than men, they would find another dude to fight. My husband was mad enough to hit me once when I was being sort of a *****, but he showed restraint by telling me he was that mad, then leaving. Think about it.

It's easy to say when it's not happening to you, but when the shoe is on the other foot, it is very different. Women stay because of fear and lack of self-esteem. Abusers maintain control of their victims, for lack of a better term, through disorientation, isolation and promises of change. Abusers are very similar to those who run POW camps. They wear you down to the point of hopelessness. They strive to keep her off balance and blame the abuse on the behavior of the woman. They wear down one's self-esteem to the point where she believes she is responsible for the abuse; that she can't do any better than him. There are also economic factors to consider. Many abusers control the money. By doing this, they keep their victim on a tight leash and instill the fear that they can't make it on their own. Especially when there are kids to care for. They isolate the woman from friends and family to keep the abuse secret and to prevent someone from helping her get out. They do this by controlling whom she sees, talks to, where she goes, etc... Many abusers refuse to let the woman hold a job; keeping her from having the skills and money to leave and make it on her own. Then there are the threats of physical violence or even death if she tries to leave.

Not necessarily. You are painting all women to be b!tches. They are not. Sometimes men are defective. They can easily be alcholics, drug abusers, have rage problems, no idea how else to deal with problems, misogynists, rapists, sadists, etc. What makes men so perfect all of a sudden?

Thinking.... Thinking.... Nope, you're an @ss. Abuse is a vicious problem that stems with the abuser, not the victim. I mean, what, people who beat the crap out of their kids are just frustrated by being verbally outwitted by a five-year-old? Come _on_.

A man has no reason or excuse to ever raise a hand. There is a door to the front and to the back of most homes. He should hit the door and never look back, she just might have borrowed a gun from me.

So to compensate for his lack of communication skills he should be able to kick the crap out of his wife? No way, that's how 2 yr olds cope... not men who think they are grown and can handle a marriage. I would think that you are saying men are inferior and maybe we should have "special" classes in school since you say men are so behind and cannot grasp the idea of "no hitting" when you get upset or frustrated.
