I am politely going to disagree. I think that is almost always the case, but if a woman raises her hand at a man then she has to expect she might get hit back. I am not advocating punching her, but she might get slapped. I don't care what a man does- a woman should keep her hands to herself equally.

Agreed. Woman can be every bit as violent as a man, and if a woman flies off the handle and comes after me with a pan or something I am gonna lay that ***** out. That being said, I dont put myself in the position to get involved with a woman who would do something like that, so I dont have to worry about it. If you are willing to stay in a relationship that has the potential to get that bad, you kind of bring it on yourself. There are plenty of warning signs before violence starts and there isnt any tang worth hanging with for that.
