Dennis Waterman: "It's not hard for a woman to make a man hit her"

This guy is an idiot. Nobody forced him to hit his wife.

Let me see if I can break down his stance:

I couldn't beat her with my words, so I used my hands.

I've been in some horrible arguments with a woman that wouldn't listen to reason, but I never laid a hand on her outside of self defense when she saw words weren't working and attacked me.

Did you guys know that some divorce lawyers in Canada instruct the wives to get up in the personal space of the husband; (get up in their face etc. but no actual touching ) to incite some type of reaction so they can use it and call the cops as soon as it happen to throw the guy out. This is usually done when children and home ownership is involved, if the guy moves out voluntarily because he doesn't want a confrontation it is seen as abandonment, if he reacts it is seen as domestic violence. Anyways this guy is an idiot and should be aware of this commonly used tactic

As a disclaimer, I'm not defending him, he's a moron and losing an argument is most certainly not justification for violence. However:

Needless to say, domestic violence is never the victims' fault, regardless of whether they are intelligent or not, good at arguing or not, and a power freak or not.

Domestic violence isn't purely trading blows. There's a lot you can do to a person without touching them so I don't think it's fair to say they've done nothing wrong (not that this seems to apply in this case). If somebody is using words then you always have the option of leaving, which is why physical violence isn't an appropriate reaction, but if you spend years emotionally torturing somebody and they slap you once, you at least have to take some resonsibility for it; you aren't entirely innocent.

This guy is an idiot, but Bill Burr said it best "Do you know how much of an asshole I would be if I knew it were socially unacceptable to hit me?".
