Why is it ok for women to physically abuse men? (wife, movies)

[sturmgeist]

I always see women in the movies and TV(as well as real life) slapping a guy and people are like 'U go girl, hit that pig', but if a guy slaps a woman the reaction is total shock and disgust.

Why are women these days so confident to physically abuse men and fear no retaliation? While I personally would just walk away from an abusive girl I think it is justified that they be shown men are physically dominant over them and you just don't go there without consequences(being hit back, harder).

Supposedly, because "men can take it."

Plus--"they hit like a girl."

women who hit men know they wont hit back.... make it clear you wont tolerate it. i get the double standard though

I'd end a relationship over physical abuse from a girlfriend. Usually, you can block their hits though. I'd let the police handle it afterward.

Its usually more exciting in movies to see a petite girl whipping on a big guy's ass, snapping his neck with her legs, etc.

But having a big ass guy whipping on a little petite girl and throwing her across the room just reminds people of domestic violence.

Hollywood knows it would never happen in real life, the unattainable is always more exciting

I don't know about this... there are professional female boxers or wrestlers (certain who are larger and taller than the average woman) that can hit as hard as a man or even more. In addition, they got good techniques and those can knock out anyone with a single blow.

It is not OK for women to physically abuse men. But I'd also steer clear of anyone who thinks it's OK for a man to hit back harder.

The vast majority of women are not professional female boxers or wrestlers.

Still, I do not condone violence from either gender. Not because I think most women could do serious bodily harm to most men with their bare hands (because I don't think they could) but because it's a psychologically and emotionally unhealthy way of dealing with ones feelings.

I wouldn't even be friends with a man who spoke that way to me either. I have no room, space nor time for crazy people.
I think the only exception that may possibly support that statement would be if a man's life was really put in an extremely dangerous position (ex: wife is holding a knife around his throat) and he only did it to defend his life.
Otherwise, if it's only done to retaliate then jail is the next place you'll end up. Sorry but that's the way the system goes. Don't like it, then use common sense.

It's possible that a female proffesional boxer can hit as hard as the average man... But a male proffesional boxer always punches harder than a female proffesional boxer, the average male always punches harder than the average woman(though there are probably excpetions).
