If a man is physically abusive then arguing with him is not going to solve the problem (nor his hitting him)
Have him arrested
If you date him, leave him
If you are married to him, leave him if he is unwilling to get help
Right? Except that we all know women (and men) who stay in abusive relationships for years...if people are emotionally healthy and strong, they don't GET INTO abusive relationships (not for long anyway), so the question isn't really a question of common sense. It's more a question of "Oh, ****, what do I do now?" five years, ten years into the relationship, often at 3 am after 24 hours or more of emotional abuse and manipulation (or for that matter 5 or 10 years of emotional abuse).
I can only speak of my own experience and this is not going to be solved on a message board
it is not black and white so I am going to leave this discussion
this is going no where
if it is one thing I have learned it is when to leave the room

Only when the abuser isn't blocking the door, I assume?

Suit yourself. I'm on a discussion board to discuss issues, learn from other perspectives, have my own POV challenged, and help others if I can. I don't expect to be able to solve the issue of domestic violence by being part of a discussion board, but maybe I can learn something, or help someone else learn something.
I say that if anyone - male or female - is physically violent/abusive/attacking toward another person, the other person - male or female - has the absolute right to defend themself, and if that means knocking someone down, pushing them away, shoving them to the floor - so be it. Beating the crap out of them? Nyah, that's overkill.
.
Defensive manuvers such as what you describe above are reasonable, even if they INADVERTENTLY lead to the other party being knocked down or falling over. Here is the key word that separates the civilized from the uncivilized: DEFENSIVE. The minute offensive measures are taken, it should be viewed as domestic violence, subject to criminal penalties associated with domestic violence.
From someone who is probably shorter, doesn't build up muscle the way men do, and is not accustomed to fighting? From that kind of person you expect men to be trained to defend against? W O W. That is all I have to say.
Girly logic there, let the poor Girly beat on you!!!!!!!!!
Even better, the Girlies want and crave something similar to what happened to John Bobbitt.....they can cackle about it on daytime TV:
The moment woman bit off man's LIP in horrifying fight at German beer festival Octoberfest (fight, huh....the guy was just passively standing there, taking a beating.)!
yes look at our society and the rich and famous ball players, singers, actors
they are protected by their fans IT IS DISPICIBLE
look at OJ Simpson he got off with double murder because he was black
but at least his ass is locked up now
if a women is coming at a man with a weapon and he can not get away of course he should defend himself
but the question here was not put that way
Making it a race issue, really?
It's kind of odd how the white community seems to have given Sean Penn, Michael Fassbender and Mark Wahlberg (not abusive, although had no problem blinding an Asian man due to his own racism) passes.
I guess the community of superior beings should speak up against their own and stop cherry picking cases in order to highlight domestic abuse.
Maybe they should ask Madonna what it was like to be tied to a chair and beaten with a baseball bat.
When a woman feels that she can step to you like a man, you must show her the error of her ways.
Men should avoid physical confrontations with women, but women should avoid physically assaulting men. Most men have self restraint, but you never know how a person will react in a given situation. If you go around kicking Pit Bulls, you may get bit.
