You treat people the way you want to be treated. Women justify physically hurting men/destroying their material possessions when they cheat,which I comprehend to an extent. I know that what some women physically do it men, is the equivalent of what some men do to women emotionally, due to the fact that it is considered taboo to smack them. However, if you were to put a female friend in the place of the your man you would see it is a bit too much really. You wouldn't punch, kick or scratch a female friend who wrongs you. You wouldn't burn her clothes or smash her stuff, it is just terribly disrespectful. The friendship would suffer and/or cease to exist. Why then would you hit your man? There is no justification for it. I don’t think anyone should be slapping anyone else. You treat people the way you want to be treated.

When you cheat, a girl believes she has all the right in the world to slap you but when she does and you do, it's abuse. When you say something rude to a lady it's acceptable to be slapped but when one says something of the same magnitude to you, it would be more 'gentlemanly' to 'take it like a man.' Double standards, I daresay. Andrei

Its just culture. Actually, the significance of a woman slapping a man is a cry for respect, a man slapping a woman is show of male power being dominant over the woman. Its just culture.

Okay, first of all the average man is stronger than the average woman so while the average man will actually hurts her if he lets his anger manifest itself physically, the average woman will do little more than annoy, scratch a guy. That being said, violence in relationships at all is wrong, I don't care who is doing the hitting. Hmmm, this is a very interesting, albeit controversial topic.

I've never been one to condone violence, i just don't see the use. But i think the reason people only equate domestic violence with a man hitting a lady is cos men are usually the stronger ones, and their beatings are usually more convincing! That being said, i would never raise my hand against a man. One, because i abhore violence. Two, and even more importantly, because i dey fear una! i think a slap is a slap, no matter who it comes from. I’ve never been one to condone violence, i just don’t see the use.

In that case - the women tend to have more financial control or is an alcoholic who needs help. Either way - no one should be laying their hands on their fellow human being.
