When is it OK to Punch Your Wife? | A Voice for Men

To anyone thinking this article is advocating unprovoked violence:

"When is it O.K. to punch your wife? Well, anytime you are defending yourself from her physical attack. You have the right, at that moment, legally and morally, as is explicit in every legal model I know of, to use whatever force is necessary to protect yourself.

Ah, but you really don’t, which is of course the real purpose of this article, and a purpose well worth study and consideration."

This is primarily the AVfM article anti-MRM folks will point to in order to say that AVfM is misogynist because it has such gems as "there is many a woman that righteously deserves a foot being broken off in her ass" and "There are women, and plenty of them, for which a solid ass kicking would be the least that they deserve" that look horrifying out of context. In context, however, it's a brilliant article.

Don't know. Self defense is taking appropriate action to stop the danger.

Punches are not really that good at stopping someone without risking doing some serious damage. Given how physically superior men usually are, how much real hard training and effort women have to put into to be able to even have a chance against an average untrained guy, I'd say in almost every case as a guy you should first try to restrain her, put her in a submission hold.
That demonstrates how utterly hopeless her undertaking is, and gives you a chance to talk to her and for her to calm down.

Now, if she has a weapon that poses a serious threat of hurting you, then of course all bets are off.

I hadn't watched that clip when it was popular around here, and I'm kind of sad that I finally did. If I saw that, I know for a fact that I would have stepped in to help him. I can't believe that people think a woman abusing a man is "empowering". :(

I can already hear Moobz foaming at the mouth. I wonder if Aerik is doing the same yet?

Everyone has the right to defend themselves. Having a penis doesn't mean you guys should have to put up with physical abuse. I think the only time I would think the man was in the wrong would be if he took defending himself too far. She slaps him, so he puts him in hospital. But, everyone has the potential to overreact. For instance, pulling a gun because a kid objects to you following him at night

Sometimes I think we deserve all the snark we get from feminists. The title of this is deliberately provocative and for no good reason.

I've heard people here say thousands of times how silly other people are for not recognizing that a man is naturally stronger than a woman in most cases. It's never okay to punch anyone when you can remove yourself from the situation without harm to yourself by pushing or walking away. Gender makes no difference.

Heck, there is many a woman that righteously deserves a foot being broken off in her ass. You read about them a lot these days

Obviously you do, Paul. Most of the rest of us choose not to inundate ourselves in that type of news.
