Probably better the law gets involved now when the child is still young enough to not have to deal with a violent parent.

No post script. No corollary.

When you say: ‘A slap for a cheater doesn’t seem inappropriate,’ you are literally condoning it, even if you preface it with ‘I don’t condone violence.’ Not to mention, in another thread you refer to his behavior in calling the cops as ‘ugly and manipulative’ and imply that it’s not ‘real’ domestic violence. So, yeah,…

Real domestic violence? Nice.

A real man would keep his woman in line with a judiciously applied backhand.

Were the genders reversed Jez writers would A) Be howling for blood and B) Justifying her cheating (See Olivia Wilde)

The whole ignoring the spousal abuse thing too. 

Do you generally feel sorry for spousal abusers?

I think the interaction pattern in both is pretty much:

while domestic violence is never cool, the threat it poses it to men is not equal to the threat it poses to women.

ugh stop minimizing physical violence.

violence is violence. Your take is toxic. 

Assault isn’t determined by whether or not the person assaulted is big enough to handle it. 

Maybe just don’t hit people?

The responses here are fucking gross. Excusing domestic violence is never ever OK.

[tears off mattress tag]

not condoning violence, but a slap for a cheater doesn’t seem inappropriate

If a man hit his wife for cheating on him, no one would be okay with that

Imagine a guy slapping his wife around then saying: “The rug has been completely pulled from underneath me!”  and also “I ask for kindness”. lmao

I guess no one will be happy until we make adultery a criminal offense.
