Yeah, I got that.

And I'm saying that assaulting others should ALWAYS be reported and responded to as a crime. What you are "behaving like" is immaterial.

I'm not saying you in particular, either.

Yes I know it's not but in reality it's hard for a man to report it that what I'm saying! I'm using the above as an example to maybe a contributing factor to why they don't report it

You are joking right?

The minute any man put any hand up to me even in jest, I would hit the door.

I taught my kids "keep your hands to yourself" and I meant it.

There is absolutely no excuse for either violence or the threat of violence, in an adult relationship.

Sometimes, you got to keep the pimp hand strong. Keeps things in order

Apologies

Don't worry, I'm pretty sure Chow has no pimp hand.

I agree. That's a given. But the problem is that too many women these days are taking a huge risk, and as a result, some of them are getting violent retaliation.
