Never, ever, ever, ever, ever anywhere near - even in the same galaxy as - acceptable.

Also works both ways - never acceptable for a woman to hit the man either.

If you are asking because you or a friend have aver been hit by a SO you/they need to get away from the abuser immediately.

Currently uses or at one time in his life used meth.
They wear the uniform - wife beater T-shirts and/or overalls.
He says "Im fixin' ta" instead of "I am preparing to" or he says "Mess'cans" instead of "Mexicans".
Drinks PBT or Old English 800 (or really any beer thats in a CAN)

Not even in retaliation? How about when one hits and the other hits back as well?

I'm not joking either when I say this is a bunch of sterotypical crap. You must be from California and watched too much TV. Pretty ignorant statements and it's obvious you know nothing about people.

Never in retaliation. Self defense only, and that "only" means you can't run, can't hide, can't avoid in any other way.

Yea I know, no point but if one was the victim of domestic violence (only includes to those that put up with it) there would be a time where you had enough and end up fighting your abuser, another reason you should have ended long ago, by doing that they became like their abuser. Still wrong as you can also get in trouble as well. Yet there was still this woman on yahoo chat rooms that would talk about how a man that hit her once, afterwards met a wine bottle.
I guess it should be used only if you're threatened not in that case that she only hit to retaliate, hurting the man in the head with it... Then this other one that stab a man in the stomach seriously injuring him as it would have killed him. She didn't do it in self-defense. Shocking how it can be deadly if the other chooses to retaliate and it's not even self-defense.

ohmygod, plenty of men like Nascar, smoke Marlboro's, have tats, and say "I'm fixin to" without being at all violent or even close to wife beating scum Talk about prejudice and over generalizing! Guess you'd really be surprised at how many wife beaters are actually well educated and wear suits to work every day. Believe me, it happens.

The biggest clue to recognizing a wife beater is a perfectionist, controlling man who snaps when he can't keep things (and women) under control.

The only time I've seen it was when I saw a guy punching his girlfriend on the sidewalk. I had just picked up my elderly dad, a retired ceo, from the hospital to take him home. He was slumped over and could barely sit up. I was right in the middle of speeding up at the entrance ramp to a freeway at the time and he tried to jump out of the car to beat the crap out of the guy. I had to hold him back so he wouldn't fall out of the car.
