Bah
I just had a friend admit to me that she is in a relationship where the guy might get a little physical with her if she "does something stupid".
I am a very very protective person with my friends and family. I try to stay clear of relationship stuff 'cause you never hear every side of the story and yada yada yada, but this goes beyond acceptable. There is one thing that makes me angrier than anything in the whole world, and that is any sort of aggressive or physical act towards a woman. Feed me any sort of feminist drivel you want, but women ARE different than men, and that is a line you JUST DON'T CROSS. Since you are little, every boy is told almost daily not to hit women, and after growing up and looking at things, it is more than just "don't hit women." Every MAN should do his best to protect the women he associates with, and even the women he doesn't associate with. I've been in plenty of fights in my life, but the worst beating I ever gave someone was delivered to two men who I found "just messing around" with a passed out woman at a party. I have zero tolerance for anything of the like, and I have the size, strength, and know-how to back that up.
The one thing that I can't protect my friends against is themselves. I don't understand how a woman can rationalize a man hitting them, or doing something along those lines. I just can't understand it. And, when they do that, and say stuff like "oh, he only does it when I <insert ANYTHING here>... it's not that big of a deal, and it is something that I can and should be able to avoid in the future", then I can't do anything.
I don't even know.
I'm going to go take a walk and calm down.
