What are people doing this weekend?
I'm running a five mile race tomorrow that starts and ends at the local brewery. With free beer at the end.
I know I can do at least 4 miles. I'll crawl the last mile for free beer if I have to.
Yes. Men like sports. Men watch the action movie, they eat of the beef, and enjoy to look at the bosoms. A thousand years of avenging our wrongs and that's all you've learned?

I'm also less likely to get exercised over a physical fight where both give as good as they get. Probably because I find it hard to call someone an abuser if they get as many bruises as they dish out.
I dunno. If you fight back you are not being abused? If you fight back successfully, then then it was OK for the other person to start the fight?

Ann, that's a ferret.
Good questions, TB, and ones I hadn't thought of. Mutual violence certainly isn't likely to happen in a healthy relationship.
Beyond that, must rethink.

If you can do 4 you can do 5!

I dunno. If you fight back you are not being abused?
That seems really conditional. If a woman hits a man to little effect and the man hits back causing injury wouldn't the woman be the abused? Is it a matter of intent or actual harm? If the man never lays a hand on the woman except for a reaction to being struck is he an abuser? To me it seems like either intent or harm is abuse, but I can see how there can be shades of gray.

Tonight: going to a "congratulations for getting citizenship" dinner celebration for a friend.
Tomorrow: Study, study, study. Maybe sushi for dinner if I'm good
Sunday: Study, maybe cooking.

If the man never lays a hand on the woman except for a reaction to being struck is he an abuser?
I'd think one factor would be proportionality of response, as in self-defense. If A hits B to little effect, pushing A away might be appropriate. Breaking bones would not.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Not even for free beer would I run any distance. And y'all know how I feel about beer.
