The woman smashes her boyfriend's trophy and he hauls off and smacks her. That guy's got a problem and that probably won't be the last time he hits her. The woman has a problem as well, but who hasn't heard of the saying two wrongs don't make a right? My five year old cousin could reach that conclusion and he's barely a dj.
There are angry and violent women out there and you don't need to have anything to do with them. Nobody's forcing you to be around them. They're probably not going to jump out of the bushes at you and they're not hiding under your bed waiting for you to fall asleep at night. If you make the mistake of falling for one of them, you are not going to change her and you can only use her as a punching bag for so long before she takes off, gets somebody to take care of you, calls in the police, or ends up in a pool of blood because you accidentally "disciplined" her too hard. I'm sure you'd be really proud of your teenaged daughter if she showed up the night of her senior prom with a black eye, a bloody nose, and said with a great, big smile "Oh dad, I just got a little out of line but thankfully Joe was there to give me some discipline."
Man, we are quick to call a guy an AFC when he tries to talk a girl into having a relationship with him, or when he engages in clingy, desperate behavior in a vain effort to win a woman over. That stuff is weak! Why? Because it is insensitve, disrespectful, and showcases ineptitude and insecurity.
But it's really cool to hit a woman, right? Especially when twenty-four male strangers take a break from masturbating to web porn to give you their consent over the internet.
So, you don't beg a woman to change her ways. You don't butter her up with flowers or tell her she's the one. You don't call her twelve times a day and ask her why she isn't available to see you more often. So, why not smack her around when you want her to change behaviors? That's the ultimate step to becoming a WBAFC. At least an AFC wouldn't drop that low. They have some common decency. Why not slam her into a wall or backhand her when you can't have your way? That's really what it comes down to, right? The bigger person always gets his way? That's alpha, man. Give her a dropkick or hit her over the head with a shovel when she misbehaves! Great idea! Why not control every facet of her being including how she spends her money? Why not try to force yourself on her when you want sex as well? Do you see where you're going with this?
We all agree that if a woman with a tenth degree black belt in ju jitsu and an impressive amateur boxing record comes at you with a crowbar, we aren't going to think any less of you if you have to defend yourself, especialy if you can't run away.
If a woman throws a fit and either threatens to hit you or tries to hit you or hits you or whatever, remember you are a man. She might be able to hurt you and her behavior might be out of line, but there are still gender role and social expectations. I'm not convinced your back is against the wall in this situation. Get out of it. Take the path of least resistance. It's not fair? Well, sometimes you need to realize that life isn't fair and that you aren't going to have things your way all of the time. It's called being a man. You can speak mean words about women on an anonymous internet forum, but somehow I doubt that will improve any of your relationships. It won't improve your game.
If you are in a relationship and you think about hitting your girlfriend, then you do not belong in that relationship. If she hits you, then you do not belong in that relationship. If a girl flakes on a date, you cut her off - you "next" her. But if she calls you a name, you hit her? Yeah, that's dumb. I once watched a woman beat up her boyfriend over something trival. That was dumb also. He got out of that relationship. Was he a victim? Well, depends who you ask. Was she in any sense justified to hit him? also depends on who you ask, but for those of you who are currently being abused, you don't think about that. You just think about finding a way to make it stop.
Self-Mastery brings up a good point that some women are especially skilled at being provocative. Maybe a good question to put out is, how do you deal with a female friend, partner, or someone you're dating when they do things that would make a lesser man furious? Those who answer "smack her" could stand to learn some alternative behaviors and coping mechanisms.
