When I was young, raising a hand to a woman was regarded as the worst thing that a man worthy of the name could do. It was totally unacceptable to all the adult men that I knew.

There was one couple that moved into a nearby flat and a few days later she had a black eye - the old walked into a door excuse was given when other women offered sympathy. Days later, another black eye and a bandaged wrist - this time the women started telling their husbands. After several episodes over a couple of months the husband of the poor woman sadly suffered a bit of an 'accident' down an alleyway on the way home from the pub. He had 2 black eyes, walked a bit peculiarly and had something of a limp for a week or two.

She was never seen with any bruising again.

A kind of useful, 'care in the community'.

My statement is right, for general domestic violence. That's what I meant by 'Women are more violent to men than the other way around.'.....I'm not really picturing situations of women hitting men they don't know on streets.

You asked for sources.....I gave you sources....you bitch about sources.

As for 'cherry picking'....that's what you just did yourself. You highlighted the study you wanted.....one that itself goes against the 'men' only focus you push on this. Studies are out there showing that on domestic violence women are just as bad...and in reality worse.

Plenty of women are violent in relationships.....it's usually lower key than males....it's less of a problem than males. The outcomes are usually less serious.

In terms of actual incidents of women hitting men I would suggest they are far higher than men hitting women because.....firstly men don't tend to report this stuff due to social stigma......which I'd tend to agree with unless it's serious.......and secondly because...as I said, the damage done to men is usually far less serious than males hitting women.

'Who are you and how did you get in here? I'm a locksmith. And, I'm a locksmith.' (Leslie Nielsen)

So you made a general statement, tried to support it with data limited to a study of violence within relationships - that failed to support your statement - and I'm cherry-picking?

Straight out of Trump's playbook. "No puppet...no puppet...you're the puppet".

We don't do possession; we do defense and attack. Everything else is just wa**ing with a football.

I have experience of these things on two counts.
My father was a f***ing horrible piece of work (alcoholic) piss head who when at home his favourite sport knocking my mum and me and my brother about.

A really f***ed up man ( don't think the war helped,but still no excuse).
Anyway when I got to 14 andbbhad shot up,I told him to stop battering my mum,he laughed and went to hit her....I decked him ..he never did it again...he died a couple of years later,and my mum became a different woman.
Any way my second wife was very very feisty..she quite often lashed out at me ( often smacking me in the face)....but remembering what my mother went through I never ever laid a hand on her,apart from restraining her arms.....needless to say we got divorced...

always a Norwood boy, where ever I live.

pmt and the menopause are never good times to be around the suffering ladies unless in a suit of armour as it's our fault.
