I didn't see the episode of "LISTEN UP" last night, but at my Mother's house I DID see the episode of "EVERYBODY LOVES RAYMOND" where Ray's wife starts slapping him like crazy. And of course, true to form, Raymond recoils from her like the wussie-poopie that he is and says in a VERY whimpy voice; "Ow, my ARM"
Whenever I see female on male violence I always say; (sarcasticaly of course) "Oh, yeah, domestic violence is funny..., ...When the victim of it is MALE!" When my Mother is present we always get into an arguement about this, if I say it in front of her.
Now don't get me wrong. My Mom is a wonderful person, She's intelligent, (knows how to spell) well read, (generaly) has a good heart and is reasonalby logical and I love her very much.
What I am illustrating is what we guys are up against here.
Here is this woman, (my Mom) who IS inteligent, who IS a good person, who has a good heart, and is reasonably compationate..., YET, she, like MOST women, see ABSOLUTELY NOTHING WRONG WITH A WIFE STRIKEING HER HUSBAND!
If my mother was in the minority, I wouldn' even bother to post this. But the trouble is, she is NOT in the minority.
It is heart-breaking for me. I love my Mom with all my heart. But even she seems to have a deep resntment and maybe even hatred for men.
As a man, myself, that is very hard to live with...,
...At least she didn't laugh while Raymonds' wife was hitting him.
Maybe that's something, I don't know.
Thundercloud.
"Hoka hey!"

its funny.. my sister used to do this.. this isnt necessarily a femnazi thing when its children..
though one thing i remember well, was that my parents arent stupid. they are critical thinkers. they couldnt understant why i was suddenly violent... so THEY set her up! and caught her.
that could be one major reason that my sister isnt like the femnazi's... (she divireced her first husband, said she wanted nothing, they went their separate ways. she has a new guy, they are happy together, she pays her own way even though he has money..)
the mistake of the show was not showing the consequences of peoples actions other than the immediate gratification...
they dont show the brother later thinking "if i am going to get in trouble for hitting her when i didnt. i should make sure to hit her when she yells, at least that way its fair!"
and if you dont think thats the way that kids think...
its ok if they do something in a later episode, but its doubtful given todays "girls do no wrong and when they do they had nobler reasons that justify the end and make any ill ok" society.
in truth there WILL be young girls that will do this, and will find out the outcome is that the brother that cared about them enough to jump up and be concerned that they were hurting themselves wont care what happens to them. its not a good lesson to be showing young girls without showing them the results of their actions...
