Most men do their anger management while in jail,or on probation after entering a plea. Did this woman cop to a crime? Was she convicted of a crime? I get the feeling her program is noncustodial. Did the courts issue the husband a restraining order? Does the woman have to stay away from the marital home? Has she been denied unsupervised visitation with any children they have, if she has visitation at all? Because if none of that has happened, the article is just blowing smoke.

I work with a guy whose wife hits him when she's in a fury (nuts I think). He is a great big guy, and the other guys in the office think it's funny. Why that's funny to them I don't know.

In my experience women have a robust capacity for violence. My mother is the most violent, angry, spiteful person I’ve ever encountered. She has a bottomless well of bile and every day the house will filled with the sounds of slammed doors and her screams. She would work herself in to a violent rage and nothing would ameliorate her. One memorable beating occurred when I lost the top to a container of Quick (I was 5). She shook me by my scalp and beat me with a cutting board.

She was especially angry and violent when my Father wasn’t around, but he was spared her anger and I remember her hurling some scissors at him which stuck in the kitchen floor, by the point, at his feet.

Nagging is in it's own way a type of domestic violence.
