Irlandes on The Way It Was #8: I asked, "What if she has a baseball bat and is smashing a little kid's arms and legs? What is a man supposed to do in such a case?" They were sort of vague. "Well, call for help. Ask her to stop."

Yeah I've never understood the don't hit a woman thing. People say it's because men are so much bigger and stronger than woman in general. This to me is really faulty logic. If I'm bigger and stronger than most woman, that's a reason for them not to give me a need to hit them, as I will probably win.

I remember in university there was a guy saying "You never hit a woman, no matter what!". I asked what happens if she's attacking your girlfriend? He says, just restrain her. I reply that if anyone attacks a girl I'm in love with then I'm gonna attack them with everything they've got, regardless of age / gender.

I finally decided in the truly unlikely event I ever see a woman hitting a baby with a baseball bat, the only real question is will the doctors be able to save what is left of her, and I will take whatever punishment the manginas of the court give me.

A bit on the dramatic side, no? I see the point, and yes, if there is cause then man up, but ... a bit dramatic.
