That's obviously a different woman. Why do you do this?

Still grasping at straws.
Why is that?

Perhaps you are speaking of an article different than the one in the OP?
Because she was beaten to death by her ex-boyfriend.
And the the official response to a woman being murdered by her ex-boyfriend is for women to accept violence from their husband.
What article are you talking about?
I am unable to find it.
What’s wrong with expecting adult behaviour from adults?
Okay, I'm going to assume that wives are human, too. You agree? Or are they some other species in Islam? So I presume that Islam, giving due fairness to all humans, permits a woman to "lightly hit" her husband? Yes?
Or is that not reasonable. Is having a dick something that makes you superior?
You might begin to guess that I have little respect for Islam -- and your comments are doing a really good job of making my respect less. I consider, in fact, your ability to reason to be something less than human on this issue.
I'm an atheist. My lover is an atheist. We're both men. We've been together going on 30 years. We have disagreed about many things. Neither one of us has ever come even close to striking the other, and yet we have always found a way to resolve our differences -- without either of us ever having to assume that "I'm the master, you are subservient...I make the rules, you obey them."
If Islam can't cope with that, then Islam has some growing up to do.

No they're English speakers who know what English words mean. You don't get to tell us that a word does not mean what we know it means and which knowledge is enshrined in dictionaries and thesauruses.

The RCC has tried that line for centuries, and Catholic women have been subjected to domestic violence at about the same rate as anyone else.
It's a load of pious unadulterated hooey. You need laws and systems to provide women with protection against violent partners ─ places of shelter, financial support, counselors (but only counselors with professional training). You also need female as well as male police officers at all levels of the system, and female as well as male members of the judiciary at all levels.
(As to the small part of the sample that goes the other way, women violent towards men, the principle is exactly the same.)

No. We already dealt with that.
You're intolerant about it.
So, should we tolerate 2 year olds to 4 years olds bullying behavior?
Yes, I am intolerant of adults acting like 4 year olds. Especially when they are violent. Making excuses that they are 'short tempered' is part of the problem.
I can't imagine getting to the place I would hit my wife in anger or to 'instruct' her. If either of us gets even close to that upset, we TAKE A WALK.
Anyone making excuses for abuse is simply promoting such immorality and violence.

Men more often abuse women with physical force. On the other hand, woman more often abuse men verbally with nagging and targeted daggers to the heart. A male may not be able to out nag an emotionally abusive woman on a roll, which is why God made man physically stronger. If she is abusive he can make her stop.
I dated a woman many years ago who was bi-polar She could be the life of the party and then become a battle ax. She usually did not abuse me, since i stayed under her radar. She would be abusive to men who approached her. But on this occasions when she targeted me, I would use wresting type force to subdue her. I would place her in a body lock with pressure points, to make her tap out. Then she and we would be OK. She would then tell me was trying to make me mad, since I was too under control.
Think of it this way. If you said anything in the work place, even generic, to a stranger and they were made to feel uncomfortable or even mad; racial or sexist comment, you can lose your job. Picture if you know someone, on an intimate basis like a husband and wife. You know their inner most thoughts and their secrets. Say you then use that private material to nag and target them. The punishment should be worse than getting fired. Men will not cross some secret lines in the sand, but many women will. Most would have previously gossiped this with friends and mothers. Somehow women are portrayed as always the victims. This is a left wing scam and dual standard.

People who want to do something horrible will always find an excuse. What they never do is take responsibility. It's always someone else's fault, there is always a reason why they have the right to do wrong...

Sounds like you've built some hatred to women through unhealthy relationships.
Encouraging people to seek out professional help to deal with their personal issues is “intolerant?”
I’d call that responsible.

I just realized that discussing with you is a bit like discussing with a four-year-old.
You’re not being petulant are you?
