why do men beat their wifes/girlfriends?

listening to little arguements like this makes my morning lol

i think its because in most cases they just plain out right need a good old fashioned ass whoopin and who better to administer it than the ole man. but in other cases it may be something like made a bad sandwich,handed out a warm beer,scrapped him with the teeth,or just wont shut the hell up, at any rate its the natural order of things men rule women n children shut up and make the chow and make damn sure daddy has readin material for the after dinner load droppin

Yeah, I think it's that the guy thinks that he is superior and if the guy feels that the girl is overpowering him he takes it offensively.

I think it has to do with Ladder Theory, I saw it in google, and it is satirical in nature, but it seems so true, and I could see why guys would get pissed off at girls who treat them the way they do.
No I don't approve of hitting anyone, just sometimes I can see why someone would.

Maybe it is because too many girls are raised with a pompous self-righteous attitude these days... Your thoughts?

I do not disagree with your statement at all. More and more children and being raised to be over-confident. I hate children... I'm just not sure if I hate them because I hate over-confident children, or if I hate over-confident children because I hate all children. In any event, they grow up to be over-confident adults, so I see the merit in your post.

As for it being justifiable to hit anyone, I don't think that's okay at all. However, I can see if the women were being violent towards a man, then I feel the man has every right to defend himself by eliminating the threat to his well-being in whichever manner he sees fit.

As I said in a previous post in no way do I support violence against anyone. From a philosophical point of view though, I don't see why people find it so hard to believe that people would be violent for any number of reasons. And some of my posts are just for a laugh for the quick witted anyway:)

If you used an excuse that said you subscribe to similar views to those of ee cummings then I'd respect your lack of capitalization more...

Because they are angry & feel little & see a way to both release tension & feel like 'the big man'....BUT it takes two to tango & a lot of people don't like to hear what I have to say on the subject.

Because they have an inferiority complex and they take their frustrations out on their mates. Get away from them

i went through that in my first relationship so I have some experience with it. he grew up seeing his father beat his mother so basically a young boy learns by what he sees. if he sees his father hit his mother then he thinks its ok. plus it puts a lot of anger into him and at such a young age he cant exactly go to his father and tell him to stop because more than likely his father would hit him too so the young boy just holds all that anger inside and it builds and builds and turns into rage that he later takes out in many different ways one of them being on the women that he loves because thats the only way he knows how to treat them. if he had seen his father being loving to his mother he would have known how to be gentle and kind but once again he learned by experience. its a sad thing I know. but its like the saying goes..monkey see monkey do..

Personally I have not been in this particular situation though I have had some relationships I am thrilled to be out of due to negative male behavior. I would imagine it is a power issue and always about him and his own inadequacies and nothing to do with the victim! These men need help - period.

You're hilarious.

Because they have small minds and most likely small pecker's.

Because they're butt-holes. Any man who hits a woman is a pussy.

It makes a man feel in control!!!

Because they are absolute butt-holes, who don't have anything in their life worth living for and they want a sense of something to control. They get angry at the slightest thing, and breaking a vase or something doesn't help them releive tension anymore so they beat someone more weak and vunerable. I have actually lived through this.

I believe men tend to want to be dominant and refuse to accept their wifes/girlfriends opinion especially when under the influence of drugs/alcohol.

Because they have a very low self image and it makes them feel better about themselves. Rather than actually bettering themselves they destroy someone else and in the end they still haven't achieved what it was they were wanting to do. The same goes for any type of bully. I hate bastards like that and is one of the main reasons I'm a certified black belt today. I won't put up with their crap!

Because they are butt-holes.

Men beat their wives/girlfriends for the same reason wives/girlfriends beat their men. Only difference is that the women don't have to go to jail when they
do it and men do. What a stupid question;.

I don't know where you live, but where I live, a woman is just as likely to get arrested if she beats up her boyfriend/husband as is a man. The real issue here is that some men are too embarrassed to call the police after being beaten up by their wife/girlfriend.

Really? Have you ever worked in public safety? I know the "law" says that women who assault men are to be arrested, but in reality, it just doesn't work that way. The real issue is not that men are embarrassed, the real issue is that the police and the courts do not take it seriously when a female assaults a male. For one thing, most are not physically strong enough to do any real harm to most males, but the male isn't allowed to defend himself. If he strikes back, he goes to jail. Police will do almost anything to avoid arresting a female. Too much trouble to arrest a woman.
Too great a chance of some liability and false charge in arresting a female. It is much safer to arrest the male, it will solve the problem,(no more fighting during your shift), and when he gets out and goes back to his home, your shift will be over and it will be someone elses problem to deal with. I am afraid that you have been watching way too much TV.
Most likely listening to some of these silly teachers in school too. They don't have a clue.

No, I haven't worked in public safety, but I know for a fact that the chance for a domestic violence arrest goes both ways in my area. I don't watch much tv and I'm not in school either. Some women are perfectly capable of doing physical harm to a man. Not all of us are delicate little flowers. Don't under estimate the power of a really pissed off woman. Some are not shy about putting the beat down on another person, especially if drugs or alcohol are involved.

Because some men are abusive, controlling arseholes on a power trip. Please note, I said "some men".

Some men are abusive butt-holes who beat up their wives, girlfriends or boyfriends. Some women are abusive butt-holes who beat up their husbands, boyfriends or girlfriends. Being an abusive butt-hole isn't confined to one gender.
