That's my point in all this. I guess I should have been more specific. I feel like some think I go around hitting woman, especially the physical abuse thing. That's just not who I am, especially when it comes to my own wife and daughters. I've never had to hit a woman and hope that it doesn't come to that, but if push comes to shove and there is no way to get away don't think I won't lay a woman out.No doubt. I get that we were all raised (or should have been) not to hit a woman. That is a noble gesture, and something that every man should always strive to do. Luckily, in my life, I've never HAD to hit a woman - but believe me buddy - I absolutely would if I felt I HAD to. You can think up 100 scenarios where you or your family's well being may be at jeopardy if you decide to do the "right thing" and not hit (or do worse) to some crazed person trying to hurt or kill you, female or not. In the fantasy land of Virtue, you're always going to be the big, bad man that can withstand anything that a lowly little woman could ever do to you, and simply walk away. Yeahhh, OK. In reality, there are crazy and dangerous people in this world - and newsflash! - some of them are women.
NOW - whether this situation with Mixon has any scenario even close to this is something I couldn't tell you. If he hit a woman because of a simple argument, he's a piece of trash. If he hit her for cussing him, slapping him, or even hitting/punching him, he should have just tried to get away or maybe even neutralize her, but he still should NOT have hit her and knocked her out. IF she was trying to gouge out his eyes or was coming at him with steak knife, fork, razor, bat, gun, etc, etc - he had every right to stop her, even if it meant hitting her, IMO.
From what I've seen of this, I truly doubt he should have done what he did. I'm just making the point that the hard rule of "There should NEVER EVER be any reason to EVER hit a woman whatsoEVER, under any circumstance EVER" is not a realistic thing in every situation.
As for Mixon, he should be kicked out the kicked. I don't like that they're are assassinating her character on whatever board, either.
