Imagine one of these scenarios. First, you're at a nice restaurant, across the way you can see a table with a man and a woman deeply engaged in conversation, and suddenly you see the woman slap the man across the face. What do you think happened? Second, reverse it, you see the man smack the woman in the face. What do you think happened? And what does it mean if your answers are different in each case?
Yeah....and I've got to say it....in most cases the slap by a female across a man's face would sting........
Not so the other way around.
A male striking a female in any way indicates his willingness to harm her, and his determination to control her.
Not so the other way around
I honestly think there is something to be said for the traditional attitude of overlooking minor female violence against Cads..
My little 100lb wife has elbows I sincerely think she hones with a pencil sharpener.
They are occasionally applied to my ribs......when I am telling an inappropriate joke, laughing in a funeral, or giggling uncontrollably in a wedding mass........
LOL
The funeral singer sounded like a cat having its tail twisted. We were among the mourners.
My late best and well- loved buddy sat next to me at a Catholic wedding....in the mass, there is some ritual tinkling of bells (neither of us are Catholic) while the priest carries on.....after the third ding-a-ling, Ron leaned over and whispered...."Is he NEVER gonna answer that damn phone?"
I lost it.
Both required vigorous application of the elbow.
I don't think that is assault.
