Women deserve special protection from violence even when they are the aggressor. This is misogyny because it reinforces the idea that women are week and shouldn't be held accountable for their actions."
my response to this dumb comment: This is not misogyny it is reality. Most women aren't equal to men in terms of their physical strength. Most women are weaker. Do some research. The fact that you and your wife are equally as strong as one another, or she is stronger than you is not the norm. The fact that you are a weakling and your wife is a hulk doesn't mean that is the case with everyone or the majority.
I will write again what I have written before, and maybe this time you will understand it and stop making such dumb comments. It is well known that because most men are physically stronger than women, and are built in a way that makes them better than women when it comes to boxing, fisticuffs, cage fighting, and other things involving physical strength and altercations, it is understood that when a man hits a woman there is a far greater chance that the woman will sustain a far more serious injury than a man will when he is hit by a woman. As a result men are instructed not to hit women, and if they get into a physical altercation with a woman who is attempting to strike them, to defend themselves the men should try to hold the women's arms, hands, legs or whatever, and do whatever they can to restrain her from striking them instead of just punching her, choking her, etc. and as a result seriously injuring her in some way, and/or causing her to become unconscious, which most men can do much more easily than women can.
Self-defense does not involve punching, choking, kicking, etc. someone and trying to seriously injure or kill them unless that is absolutely the only way to stop them from seriously injuring or killing you. Self-defense involves doing whatever you can to stop the physical altercation from occurring/continuing in the mildest and least serious, and least physically damaging way.
As I have mentioned before, if someone does something far more extreme to someone who is attempting to hit them or who has hit them, but has stopped, they will be arrested for assault. If they try to claim that the serious injury they caused was merely done out of self-defense, but they do not have any obvious somewhat severe injuries themselves, often it will not be considered to be true, and as a result they will be arrested and charged with assault, and won't be acquitted ba<x>sed on self-defense if they are prosecuted. This is true for both men and women, but it happens far more often with men because of what I explained above.

my response: Did you know that the same is true with men? If a man gets someone else to kill his wife it isn't counted as DV in the statistics. For both men and women it is just considered first degree murder.
