You truly cannot see the difference between him raising his hand to another man vs him raising his hand to a woman? In what scenario do you see the woman being able to defend a physical attack from this man? In what scenario do you see those children being able to defend themselves from the brute overturning the table and injuring them? If you being a woman cannot see that, there is no hope for stopping the abuse of women and children in this country. I'm truly astounded that you would make such a statement.
I agree with Mila, playing the little woman victim is on a par with playing the race card.
If you want to be treated like a lady you have to behave like one.
