24. An attack is an attack.
And no one has the right to attack anyone else.

At no part of that absolute, truly unquestionable statement did gender roles or what it means to be a "man" come into play. Your wife had NO RIGHT TO HIT YOU. It doesn't matter if she could hurt you and it doesn't matter if she had a "reason". And by the way, you punching a hole in the wall could be considered abuse in and of itself, and it most likely was because that carries with it the implied threat of harm. You don't ever have to lift a finger for abuse to occur.

But since you are so much more enlightened than me, why don't you take a crack at illuminating for me how much different men and women are? I'll get my popcorn ready for this one, oh honorable one. :popcorn:
