I've always been amazed at the fact that when a woman threatens violence or hits a man, it's okay. Watch TV talk shows, commercials, SitComs, movies. If "the man has it comming", it's funny or cute when he gets smacked or hit with a thrown object ( watched the movie "Just Married" last night, the guy was assaulted by 2 women). However no matter what he women says or does a guy is NEVER justified in reacting physically. Gives women the mistaken idea in real life that they get a free shot. Personally, I wouldn't hit a woman back, I'd just NEVER be in the position where it would happen again. NEVER. But not everyone feels that way.....

Yeah, I notice that too. In commercials and sitcoms, a common response to a man saying something a woman dislikes, is for the woman to take a pie or some food object and shove it into his face, or pour her drink over his head etc. It's become part of the culture to see that as OK for a woman to do.
