I'll say this.... Every guy says they will never hit a woman and that real men don't hit women.... They say it because they never been in contact with some of these class less bitches that are out there. Watch basketball wives, mob wives, jersey shore or any of these shows and tell me if you fell in love with one of these bitches that you would not be compelled to knock one of them out?

As an adult man I have experienced a lot and I know enough now to leave these bitches alone as soon as is clear i might feel compelled to knock her out. The problem is these athletes never got the experience needed to sift through these garbage women. They see the physical beauty and can't handle it.

Guys need to learn this the hard way.

2 cases....Chris Brown and Rihanna. It's a fact that she ****s everybody. Not to mention she is really slick with her mouth. Chris tried to turn a whore with money into wife material. She was ****ing his friends, NBA players, music industry guys...what can you expect?

Ochocinco headbutt his wife after she found condoms in his car. He ducked up but if you see his wife on the reality show basketball wives, she is so loud ignorant and confrontational. I have no doubt that she was acting crazy and probably was hitting him and belittling his manhood. He headbutt her....that to me shows that she was in his face. He didn't put his hands on her. I think in the heat of the moment trying to get her off him he headbutt her. They had no prior history of domestic violence....

now could you say these women provoked these men? Yes...but there is a but...

like I said guys need to stop falling in love with these bitches and find themselves a real woman. The phrase you can't turn a whore into a house wife stands true. Stop chasing women just because they are gorgeous. Some of these guys never had that experience or the male figure to school them to be men.

After this then you can call bulls hit on the whole real men don't hit women. Real women don't act like men. Confront a man like a man and get knocked out. That's how real men are.

Now sociopaths that have mental issues that beat women have nothing to do with what I'm saying.

Giving winning Carte Blanche to hit a man is not the answer. Where I think Stephen messed up is saying something along the lines of Hit and you get hit back in a bigger way. Unfortunately that is not the answer.

Stephen is a bit chauvinistic. You can tell by the way he describes his interactions with women. He doesn't believe in sweating women and putting them on a pedestal. He feels he shouldn't have to. Suffice to say he thinks very highly of himself.

He grew up with nothing but sisters. He said his sisters would never lay their hands on their men. I doubt he'd truly advocate hitting women

Provocation--I think it is possible for a man to put his hands on a woman given the right provocation. We may not think it is right but a second interaction that involves provocation could end up in that result. For instance--what if your wife/girlfriend said she just kissed another man and for two seconds you grab her by the neck and squeeze just enough to let her know that what she just said in that instance was not only a shock but incredibly hurtful and the mans system reacted in that way. I have never personally punched kicked etc.. a female but I certainly once or twice grabbed my ex wife aggressively that she knew about it--and it came from a provocation that I did not expect. There is something to provocation especially when it comes with intent or shock that can make another person react like they would not normally. If this is what he was getting at--than I agree with him. I dont agree you should hit anyone--but given a circumstance a provocation can bring out a response that may have some violence attached to it.

How would you feel if you said something that hurt me so I grabbed your neck and squeezed? And then I said it was your fault because you made me get angry?

People can provoke you but how you respond to that is 100% your responsibility.

Jesus- lay off the misogyny! Some women are horrible just like some men are horrible- I'd say instead of calling women bitches maybe consider why you keep getting involved with women who you don't actually like as people.

I'm not calling women bitches. Some "women" can't be called any other thing. I'm married. My wife is a real woman. I'm lucky to have her. I had to learn to avoid these bitches to get to this point.

Misogyny had nothing to do with it. No offense to any women reading but like I said in not calling any woman a bitch. I'm calling bitches what they are. Real people would respect that.

Then the discussion turns to what did she do to antagonize him to hit her.
The problem with this is that there is never an excuse to hit much less KNOCK OUT a girl regardless of the situation unless your being robbed or your significant other pulls a knife or gun on you....

People reacted so negatively because in this day and age there are so many woman who are victimized by men with violence and worse.. rape.. that then goes unreported because they are treated like they are the ones who did something wrong and questioning what the victim did to deserve it only perpetuates this horrible trend.

In campuses all across the US girls are being raped and it goes unreported because of their fear of this type of reprisal... Many times they are scrutinized and badgered to the point where it makes their already broken lives worse.

Of course it is no acceptable for a woman to hit a man as much as it is unacceptable for a man to hit a woman.. but the problem of a woman hitting a man in very rare, where a man raping or hitting a woman is much more common place in America today.

Women hitting men goes unreported due to a combination of male machismo and because no one takes it seriously. So let's stop pretending that domestic violence is only a one way street. I'd bet that if you did a formal survey asking men and women if they've ever been hit by a member of the opposite sex, men would easily outpace women. Getting hit by anyone is enough provocation in my eyes.

And can we get one thing straight that females are NOT the only victims of rape? According to a group called Stop Prison Rape, more than 200,000 men are sexually assaulted every year. According to the Bureau of Justice Statistics, approximately 164,000 women are sexually assaulted every year. And while people get to make fun of it happening to men, you get virtually vilified for not assuming that a guy like Kobe Bryant is guilty without the evidence. That's the world we love in.

Exactly! I use to date a psycho that would try to goad other men into fighting me so that I could prove my love to her. One time she almost got my ass kicked by 3 dudes at a basketball tournament that I was in, who were all above 6"3' and each were no less than 210lbs. It got to the point where she'd even start hitting over dudes to rile them up for me to jump in.

The last time it happened while we were together, I just decided to let the situation go and if she got hit...then she got hit, which sent her into a fury against me. As I turned to walk away she sucker punched me so hard that she broke my glasses to the point where they couldn't be repaired and then proceeded to continue to talk **** for 5 or so minutes. I remember being so mad that I grabbed her and pinned her against the locker by her arms and told her that she'd regret putting her hands on me ever again like that. A few weeks later, she told me that she attended some "Take Back the Night" rally sponsored by some dumbass feminist club. To show their solidarity with the cause, they asked any woman who had "been assaulted by a man" to stand up and talk about it. Do you know this dumb **** stood up and referenced that situation when all I did was restrain her? I immediately ended all communication with her and realized the inherent trouble that a girl like that is.

The reality is that it's not the first time I've actually been punched by a girl. One bi-polar chick, punched me in the face because I had the audacity to not escort her to the college cafeteria. But it's okay as a mutual friend said because "she was having a rough day". I've also had several instances where drunk chicks tried shoving me to try to clear a path in a bar/party/lounge etc. They do **** like that because they realize there are no consequences for their actions and because these Dr.Phil types will cover for their nonsense.

If you are in sports and you depend on that money and endorsements . You better pull a Tiger Woods and don't strike back. Even if your wife or girlfriend attacks and hit you you must not strike back. First of all its wrong and second of all there goes your career. Rhianna attacked Chris Brown first but he in return kicked her butt. It hurt his career.
If you are just a plain ol married person or have a girl friend you can't get physical in an argument. You need to talk it out and if that dosen't work and you can't get along. Just move on with your life. Have peace of mind.
Also I don't want this to sound racial but a lot of violence on black on black physical crimes are sometimes overlooked in the African American community with a black man with a black woman. But if a black man is accused of a physical hitting at with his white wife or girlfriend his goose is cooked. If Tiger Woods would have even pushed his wife his career would be over.We need to do better in minority neighborhoods. Ive seen first hand how black woman are treated when it comes to domestic violence and it's sad. We need to do better.

Can you at least admit that not all women are doe-eyed, never-could-do-no-wrong creatures? I think its ridiculous how they always manage to get the benefit of the doubt in spite of who they are or their actions. Context is important in judging any situation, so I would not be so quick to cast all men in domestic violence cases as the villain. Here are just two instances where men were warranted in their physical responses...

I hear what you are saying. Judge your partner, girlfriend , wife to be very carefully.If you see aggressive behavior or a victim of her violence then beware. It's time to get help or just move on.
Also mind games can be as vicious as hitting someone. It's called mental physical abuse.

I agree, mind games can be vicious and women play them well. But I don't think a non-physical attack warrants a physical response in return. You got to fight fire with fire on that one. As I've said before though, context is everything. I could understand, but don't condone, a dude flying into an uncontrollable rage under a certain set of circumstances e.g. "the child we've been raising x number of years isn't yours" or "I'm taking all your **** in a divorce despite me being a fully able human being (supposedly)" or "I gave you an STD", etc.

Didn't Dione Sander's wife kick his ass? No I know as big as Dione is he could have responded but Iguess he knew that if he did his sports tv commentator career would be over so he just took a beating.

Forget women for a moment. A provocation can occur when any entity severly steps over the line of reasonable action. If a good buddy of yours says something way out of bounds about your wife keeps reiterating after you tell him stop or someone else says stop that might be constituted a provocation that might have a violent tale to it. Everyone has a point of no return.

That point of no return really is uncontrollable. You can be the most disciplined and kindhearted person. When you snap anything is possible. You have no control. It's like an out of body experience

It's not so much the act is the disrespect associated....

If your wife cheats on you and then when you find out she is loud, physically violent and is saying things like "your Dicks too little" "I need a real man" "you ain't ****" "I'm gonna take the kids from you and have my new man raise them" "what you gonna hit me? You don't have the balls to hit me. You ain't gonna do **** you ain't a real man" all this as she hits you with things, mushes your face, slaps you, etc all at the same time.

It's wrong, you will regret it, and you will probably go to jail but you might end up seriously hurting anyone if this is the situation.

men need their fathers and strong make figures and family to guide them through these situations. Men always lose. No matter what

This is the end all to this argument. Violence is never the answer, but outside of mental illness, normal people do have breaking points.

I don't know guys... Regardless of the situation unless your life is in danger it is NEVER acceptable or justified to hit a woman.
If your ego is hurt by her insensitive comments, she cheats on you with the entire football team in 1 night, or even if she tries to strike you you can always just LEAVE....

I have never been in a situation with a woman that warranted any physical action on my part.. but if I had I would take it as luck that I got the insight into our incompatibility and just break up...

Even Stephen A Smith apologized this morning with the following:
"To say what I actually said was foolish is an understatement. To say I was wrong is obvious. To apologize to say I'm sorry, doesn't do the matter it's proper justice, to be quite honest. But I do sincerely apologize."

For the most part Men are the aggressors and not the victims.

1 in 5 woman report being victims of sexual assaults in College Campuses today....
http://www.globalresearch.ca/rampant-sexual-violence-against-women-and-rape-on-college-campuses-across-america/5391303

Obviously there are instances where men are victimized, but that is a small amount of cases compared to the rampant victimization of women.
Excusing brutality against women in any public case only makes it that much more difficult for a future victim to come forward for fear of reprisal and lack of any type of justice.

Look at the story below where 3 frat guys in a college actually recorded raping a woman and in the end they got to graduate while she lost her financial aid and had to drop out....
http://issuehawk.com/igor/2014/06/20/college-allowed-3-frat-guys-who-raped-and-filmed-young-girl-to-graduate-while-she-lost-her-financial-aid.html

This is a big problem in America that rarely gets any media attention because of our male dominated society...
