I agree with that in practice. Sometimes action has to be taken to protect. If you are a hitter, then you had better recognise that what you are doing is not only destructive to someone else but to you and what exists of a relationship. There is also the chance of retribution from concerned parties as you suggest. Of course, some people are just evil c***s who like hurting other people but that is another level.

I think this is a very male response, to respond with violence (and I include myself here). Of course, your right it doesn't solve anything - and just makes it worse for say 'your daughter or sister' if you end up in jail for ABH or GBH. The rational me says, what you need to do is provide them with a way out, a place they can return to, where they are safe. Somewhere, you can protect them if necessary.

Originally posted by jamiemartin721 Research does tend to bear this out, that men are more likely to experience violence from women in a relationship, than the reverse. However, the problem of domestic violence as a real tangible threat, and a cause of loss of life, is very much male on female violence. So whilst I do acknowledge that there is a high propensity of women on male violence, that isn't reflected in the situation where in people need access to shelters, regular visits to the ER and murder. Which is the problem here. It kind of distracts from the significant point, that as a cause of death among young women, violence by men is a problem. Somewhere in the region of 2 a week according to the Office of National Statistics (2016) (Current or ex-Partners being the culprit). Questionably these aren't always classed as murders either in statistics - as the UK murder rate is generally between 500-700 a year (or the methodology of the ONS is inconsistent). The same source cites 1.2m reported incidents in 2016 Yep, when it comes to serious violence men take all the infamous medals. Genetically many males are born with the capacity for violence, dodgy upbringings can even make.....an otherwise model child....into a real problem for society. That's why we always need to channel these traits into useful areas when young. It's all human nature and the statistics on all of this are out there and confirm the differences between men and women. However, women are violent in relationships too. I ducked plenty of plates in my twenties. The issue of violence is still very much a human...hell, animal trait and not a male one. It isn't abnormal or toxic.....it comes with the territory of being human. We all do it in different ways. 'Who are you and how did you get in here? I'm a locksmith. And, I'm a locksmith.'

Unfortunately, I almost feel like a premeditated response like the latter is arguably less forgivable than someone who lashes out in anger and might well regret it after.

A good woman can help sort them out...though I can only imagine the horror that some relationships have gone through on this. But the capable males in a family should always be there if needed for their family's females. That's what a strong family do. But as we know some woman come from broken or crap families and are heavily mixed up with violence themselves. We are human, we are dysfunctional. 'Who are you and how did you get in here?
