This is just a really volatile topic... I agree with the bare content of the post. As you go back far enough in cinema history, you'll see women getting slapped, by men, Sean Connery or otherwise, and a lot of the time they deserve it. However, the notion that it's OK to hit a woman sometimes is incredibly easy to misinterpret and misapply. Most domestic violence is unrestrained frustration and anger, so it's safer just to make up your mind to never hit a woman and leave it at that.
pretty sure most domestic violence is women hitting men
I tend to agree with Sean Connery, but if you give people a license to hit others, they'll use it when they (wrongly) think that they are in the right - as you say.
There are other cases where it is clear-cut. It's always legitimate to hit a woman in self-defense or in retaliation for physical violence.
I mean it doesnt even need to be hit by a man. Women hit each other fairly often. Slaps count
True but we all know that the discourse on hitting women is exclusively about men's actions
It's only controversial if men hit women.
Yeah, that's what I mean.
