While I don't think ANYONE should EVER put their hands on another person, I also can understand that things are not always so clear cut as people would like to make them out to be. When I was growing up I had a "friend" who would do all sorts of things to instigate violence with her bf. Now, we've all come to this place where there supposedly is no such thing as a woman instigating violence and there is NO excuse for a man harming her in any way. Ok. But I witnessed things like her putting a butcher knife behind his head on a couch and starting to push and punch him while he sat there, tried to calm her down, tried to restrain her, etc. He moved away from her and when he popped up the knife fell out and he saw it. He grabbed it and was really angry. He ended up handing it to me (as someone else grabbed her and held her back), but it easily could have gone other ways. My point is that I saw her and her sisters (actually her mom too) do all sorts of crazy things that I would have been hard pressed to not back a man if he had knocked her out. She was a little tiny powerhouse....strong as could be. She was the sweetest little thing and then she would switch like she was possessed.
