Maturity level Dwayne, is it meant to be a degrading comment?

Can you decline from such comments? "

" SHAREATHOUGHT....the article calls the women a "transient"
And yes I would say it is humorous that a man got beat up by a homeless woman.That's what happened.
Point your nose a little more south and lighten up "

" Dwayne, its easy. With all due respect to you, real men will never hit a woman under any circumstances.

My former wife beat on me a few times. To this day I am proud that I never struck her back. This miserable person has to live with this shameful memory.

When I read the article headlines...............I was wondering if it was my ex wife. "

That's right, but to swallow your pride and whine to the cops is another matter.... "

" I think both men and women are aware of the domestic violence law and are quick to use it on the other sex. "

" I'm not so sure he "whined to the cops" about it Dwayne. This apparently happened at a public place which means it's possible the gas station employee or a customer called the cops. In California the victim doesn't have to press charges in domestic violence cases for the offender to be arrested. "

" What happened to equality of gender ? When a person assaults you, are we supposed to treat one gender differently than another gender ? Or are we supposed treat all assaulters equally ? "

" It's this mentality that men should "quit whining" when they are abused (and males do get abused) that leads to abuse tolerance in high school and later on in life. Do any of you realize how common it is for males to be the target of abuse? My son was in high school when he saw another boy's face forced down into a toilet by another male in the bathroom. If this had happened to a female, all hell would have broken loose. Oh yeah Dwayne, Great advice for the males in our culture, advising them to "quit whining". Lovely role model you must be. I hope you don't have sons. "
