[QUOTE="Guest 85555, post: 6215481"] I think punching people in the face is bad in both cases, but they are different. If my wie decided to start abusing me, i would have a pretty easy tome fending her off and a pretty easy time extricating myself from the situation. But if i were to abuse my wife, it would be very hard for her to defend herself. Certainly there are going to be instances where that isn't the case, where a woman will have no problem overpowering her husband, but the general rule of "its worse for men ti hit women" is somthing I am okay with retaining. I think a woman can playfully or even not so playfully strike a man with little long term effect. I have seen healthy couples where this occurs. However I have never seen a healthy relationship that is the reverse of that. There is a power dynamic that is just different. A man should not hit a woman. Period. I think when women ask for equality, they don't have what you are suggesting in mind. [/QUOTE]
