Why are men violent? I mean, domestically.
And why so, with their wives and not (mostly) with their girlfriends? It’s because they’re afraid. Emotionally weak and vulnerable. More than the aggression, it’s their defense. Something like you’d do instinctively upon seeing a potentially poisonous snake.
With that, we arrive on a more important question: Is that justified?
Ofcourse, like truth, justifications are subjective. No matter how much we try to put in objectivity in any of the men-women relationship, the bitter fact is that, we simply can’t. Somethings are not meant for that. And that is what -I think- makes them more complex than they already are.
But: there are two things in which I firmly believe in. One, everyone must have their own point of view on this. Two, none can’t live with them and without them. Black & White. Yin & Yang. Batman & Joker. Nature, most certainly, is a sadist.
Too short a post to make me think but as much as I can think, I would say I second your view points.
In my opinion one of the most ridiculous definition to what love is, is that it is all about compromises, understanding, tolerating (even if it is a beating) and being together. But I am sure there must be some women who agrees to this side of violence and has a good reason to live with it.
To each his own… 🙂
