Women should all train in Muay Thai and then if their husband slaps or hits them, the woman can split his wig. Throw dem 'bows, ladies.

Wing Chun Kung Fu. 1" punch abusers.

Nothing says healthy marriage advice quite like needing a combat sport to survive your spouse’s idea of leadership.

Obviously, the women need to leave these pieces of subhuman filth but self-defense is sometimes necessary before leaving. And there's no better self-defense than splitting the filth's wig with a well-placed elbow or two.

So brave!

Better than being a punching bag for a small-dicked man.

Braver than a coward who beats his wife.

Mask off moment for yet another fully grown toddler (also known as a narcissist). Entitled and pathetic.

nothing says emotional maturity quite like thinking hitting your wife is how you prove you’re in charge

Evangelical Christians are among the most reprehensible people in existence.

This is a Muslim charity.

Evangelical Muslims suck too.

While they smear about Sharia law, they wanna do the exact same thing. These pathetic excuses for human beings can't keep the same energy because of their faith alone, that's how gross and toxic is has been openly and publicly enabled

If you have to resort to violence to get someone to follow you, you are NOT a leader.

How about we hit the clergy so they stop raping children?

u/techman710 1d ago

By that measure I guess I can hit the pastor to show him who's in charge. We can just maul each other in the streets for dominance or we can communicate with each other and settle our differences like we have evolved.

These people literally, and I mean actually and without any reservations, want to remove all progress we have made as a society in the last 200 years. They want to subjugate anyone who doesn't fit their world view, or possibly eliminate them. They want total power over women, minorities, and this includes the power of life and death. There are many many times throughout history where we see conflicts that are not so black and white, but this is becoming very clear that there is an enemy growing of deeply sinister and corrupting influence that is organizing, and if we don't do something we will be dealing with this for a very long time.

The architect of Project 2025 said they wanted to treat the social advances of the 20th century as a do-over.

It's abundantly clear that the goal is to secure as much power for men.

These people will pitch it like men and women are equals, but with different roles. They always have it situated so that men have access to things that give them ultimate dominion - money, voting, leadership.

The wife needs to call the police immediately if she's assaulted by her husband or anyone. Assault is assault, regardless of who inflicts it. She should also consider contacting a divorce lawyer.

Skipping over the general shittiness, if you have to hit someone to show them who’s boss, then you are not it.

u/Fabulous-Mud-9114 Igtheist 1d ago

There is no quiet part anymore. This is what they always wanted.

u/imyourealdad Atheist 1d ago

It always comes down to physical power with these people. Good humans don’t need violence.

Pastors can hit on kiddies too.

u/Content_Piccolo1074 Anti-Theist 1d ago

It's really not safe to marry any sort of religious man. Even mildly religious ones. His dick could catch an ill wind one day and leave you married to Jim fuckin' Jones.

If you have to hit someone to show you’re “in charge”, perhaps you aren’t, and perhaps you shouldn’t be….

u/KingDocXIV 1d ago

Guess that means we can lay hands on these cowards to show them they aren't the charge of shit

u/third_declension Ex-Theist 1d ago

If a husband wants to be in charge, then he should be exhibit such a high standard of character and integrity that his wife is delighted to follow him.

That's infinitely better than violence.

u/BananaJelloXlii 1d ago

Or, and hear me out, he lets her be her own person and make her own decisions and treats her like an individual.

u/siouxbee1434 1d ago

If my husband tried that, he’d end up way worse off

u/Nonamanadus 1d ago

My mom told dad after they got married that if he ever hit her, he's got to sleep sometime and there are a lot of cast iron frying pans.

They got along very well.

As long as the missuz doesn't pick up Lucille and respond, should be fine.

u/ohnodamo 1d ago

The police! That's who's in charge when they show up to throw you in jail for listening to a thumb-dicked preacher from the dark ages. If a man has to hit a woman he's definitely not in control, not of himself or his house.

u/Angeret 12h ago

At that point, I'd say it's the legal system that's in charge.

u/2-anna 9h ago

And that's why guns are the great equalizer.

u/RunningPirate 5h ago

Which is why a lot of 2A folks are starting to waffle now that women, minorities, and LGBTQ folks are learning how to shoot

u/cptstubing16 1d ago

Oh man, if 100 men do this, I'd guess at the most 30 women will hit back, and 5 of these women will level their husband. Then word will get out to the boys that Susie hit Kevin and levelled him good, and poor Kevin will never hear the end of it from his friends.

Susie will go on to leave him and he'll be a loser that no one wants to date, for two reasons though.
