I am in total agreement here, a lot of women take for granted the protection they think they have.
In regards to the fact that men shouldn't hit women, i couldn't care less. I stand by the self defense rule i would to anyone else, someone hits me three times, i'll hit back, i couldn't give a damn what gender they are.

Anybody who hits anybody else in anything but self defense or self preservation has issues. If it is a person you are in a relationship with, you can make that major issues. A guy I graduated from high school with was stabbed to death by his wife. She was reportedly very abusive. He was a mellow guy as far as I knew. So yeah, women can be abusive too. Sometimes restraining someone from hitting you is the best way to go, but you can be sure 99.9% of the time you hit a girl back you can expect to be arrested.
People that are ritually abused develop something akin to Stockholm Syndrome (so named for the empathy kidnap victims develop for their captors from a case in Sweden). One of my buddies from colledge jumped some guy that was beating the crap out of his girlfriend. The girl called the cops and then came after him with a bat.
Anyone who thinks they are going to "Fix" someone like that is either naive or dangerously stupid or both. It is best to get as far away from those kinds of people as possible. Like anything in life, it is much easier to make those tough rational decisions from afar. So no disrespect to anyone who has walked down that unfortunate path. I am sure it is much more difficult than it sounds. Love can make you do some really stupid things.
