Quote:You hit the nail on the head here. You won't get through to the "you NEVER hit a woman" crew, though. The people that don't believe women are capable of causing significant harm are as stubborn as they are ignorant. Would I ever hit a woman? Not unless my life or health was significantly threatened, but you're dang right I'm going to defend myself if that's the case.

And his life or health was in NO way threatened.   That is the point.  There was no reason for him to hit her, certainly not with the amount of force he used.


I wonder if the people defending this guy are the same idiots who think rape victims who happened to be wearing short skirts or revealing clothes "asked for it"?
