- FB SCENARIO Question: I am a 27-year old woman. I've been dating this guy for over a year, and he has been very understanding of my temper and tendency to hit him when I'm angry. Last week we got into a very heated argument, and I decided to hit him as I usually do when I'm angry. This time he hit me back, and I ended up with a black eye. I was raised that a man should never hit a woman for any reason, and now I'm considering leaving him because I don't deserve to be abused. What would you do?
My Response: He allowed her too many passes to hit him, and he got fed up so he decided to sock her dead in her eye. He had no business letting her hit him when she gets mad, and all of a sudden he wants to hit back? Cut the crap. No one should be understanding of a mate's tendency to hit them out of anger. I tell you what, depending on my mood, if she hit me out of anger, she runs the risk of getting jawed, and I'd be ready for any of the men in her family should they come for me. What goes through the minds of some men when they LET their woman beat on them, but they won't hit back because "a real man doesn't hit a woman for ANY reason"? Sorry ladies, but you lose the right to play victim when you put yourself in a man's position. It's not like it was back in the day, where a woman could get away with putting hands on her man, or any man for that matter. Personally, the first time my woman puts her hands on me out of anger, we're through. I have zero tolerance for domestic violence. Folks have got to learn how to control their anger. Shoot, go for a walk, pray, work out, do whatever to get rid of that anger.
