Some people hold on to idealistic views of things because they have never been directly exposed to the uglier side of reality. Likewise, some people who grew up back when this country was still the USA, and not the bastardized multi-cultural amoral cesspool that it is now, cannot comprehend the reality that currently exists. They're therefore stuck trying to apply the Marquis de Queensbury rules to a dirty street mugging.

In the 1950s, for example, there was a great amount of social pressure for people to behave themselves. In terms of this discussion, there was great amount of pressure for women to behave themselves and act like ladies. As an adjunct to that, there was a great amount of social pressure for men to treat such women accordingly - you don't beat your wife, for example, but you also don't make sexual comments to ladies in public. Fast forward to 2016, and many, if not most, women are no longer ladies - they engage in a lot of the bad behaviors normally associated with men: excessive drinking, drugs, physical assault, and sexual licentiousness. Yet, those who are from the earlier age would still demand that these creatures be treated like ladies, using the same rules of composure and restraint that a gentlemen might use in the 1950s. This is an inappropriate frame of mind for this particular environment. Put simply, if you have a well-behaved child, you reward the child. If you have a badly-behaved child, you punish the child. You don't pretend that the badly-behaved child is still the good child from a year ago.

So, to sum up, if you have a wonderful woman at your side, by all means, cherish her and treat her like the divine gift she is. However, if you end up, whether through deception or your own bad judgement, with one of these bi-polar, you-go-girl modern-era feminist whores who is more likely to shoot you while you're sleeping (and legally get away with a slap on the wrist) than cook you dinner, then your choice is either to abandon her or employ a strong pimp hand. From a biblical perspective, a husband has a responsibility to guide his wife. If that guidance requires application of his God-given physical dominance to be achieved, then so be it.

Incidentally, ever notice how many of the pre-1960s movies and TV shows had men slapping the holy hell out of unruly women?
