Slapping someone, unless it is self-defense (the other person put their hands on you first), is a consequence of having too little control over your emotions that you can't muster up the class and dignity to walk away when someone says or does something that you find offensive.
Very true. I would rather fight with my mouth and words but hit me and I am going to defend myself.
But I have found the violent men do so because of not getting what they desperately want.
I once saw a Facebook debate about whether men hitting women back that hit them first were justified or not. One woman said that she's glad her husband wouldn't do it because she could potentially get mad and do it one day and she felt safe that he wouldn't retaliate. All I could think about is that if a man admitted that he was prone to getting mad and hitting his wife, he'd be seen as a monster.
I've never slapped anybody across the face except a girl in the 8th grade who hit me first. The sole physical altercation in which I've been involved.
I was in 5th grade when a girl would make fun of me every time I went up to the black board. One day I decided to also make fun of her. She didn’t like me and she pulled my hair from behind. I turned around and kicked her to push her off me. She went crying to the teacher and I got in trouble as “boys are supposed to be a gentleman and treat girls with honor and respect”. Tried to explain to the teacher what happened and, nope, I was the one that was wrong.
The media does portray violence from women to men to be knee-slapping funny, cute, heroic, brave, acceptable, justifiable, etc. This is seen in chick flicks, comedy, commercials, sitcoms, cartoons, Disney Channel, Nickelodeon, funny viral videos, etc. But have a guy break a bottle on a girl’s head, kick her between the legs, hit her head with a pan, etc. and the audience’s/viewer’s reaction will be the opposite. There are many videos out there showing how society reacts when a man is being violent with a woman and when a woman is being violent with a man. Society’s reacts completely different if the woman or the man is the victim.
Does the things we see in chick flicks, commercials, sitcoms, cartoons, Disney Channel, Nickelodeon, etc. happen in real life? It makes you wonder when you see that stats/studies show that 1 in every 3 women and 1 in every 4 men is a victim of domestic violence. Numbers are pretty close between men and women. Now imagine if more men reported domestic violence.

I have always said, man or woman, you can dislike me or hate me that's fine I could care less. But the second you put a hand on me we will have a problem! After everything I have been through in my life why try to pick a fight with me? I guarantee you'll regret touching me if you lay a hand on me first.
