I don't want to blame you or anything, but you seem to have a gift for these kinds of events to happen.
Yeah, I do have a gift for it: it's called giving everyone a chance. Sometimes people who seem bad are just misunderstood, and sometimes the ones who seem nice are complete fucking psychos...
But you can't tell without prejudging unless you give them that chance.
But hey, I have no hard feelings towards the girl, we all see red sometimes, I am just saddened that I didn't get chili con carne at the police station cause their leaflet they gave me (No joke, like it was a Hotel or something) said they always offered food and blankets.
I was offered neither... and when I rang the attention button to ask if maybe I could have the window shut or a blanket cause I don't like english weather, I was just ignored. Your not even allowed to smoke...
Sad too that women know they can always claim to be the victim and be believed at first, but sadder too that enough people do beat their women that we are in this situation.
But, ultimately its difficult: for too long women did not speak up at the right time. If he hits you, immedietly get it seen and witnessed, show the bruises, don't cover up. Because of womens fear, we built this culture to reasure them that they WILL be believed, to the point that some are convinced any violence against them is always a crime.
I've been tempted many times, but I've never hit a woman first. I have holes in the walls and broken knuckles from hitting the wall instead. And it takes a lot to make me want to use violence, I abhor it.
But many people see my lack of violence as weakness, and the weak, when sensing weakness, attack. But I'm not weak, I just don't want to hit people. I don't like it, and I know from experience. But I have hit people, and will probably have to again. I am not the type to cry when cornered and curl up, I am like the rat.
Infact, the rat is very good example of my outlook: I will actively avoid a fight for as long as possible, I wont try to look brave or act tough, but if you corner me and give me no option, I will fight for my life untill I cannot any longer. Its stupid to put a rat in a corner, because you will be bitten.
The most I will ever say most times when I am threatened with violence is the truth "I have been hit by bigger people than you, and Im still here."
tl:dr Sad that men beat women. Sad that women beat men. Sad that anyone beats anyone. Violence only begets violence. Dont fuck with me, and I will definitly not fuck with you.
