I am a pretty big guy and generally don't need to resort to physical violence to solve my problems. (I am willing to in certain situations) I can't imagine hitting a woman. My wife and I have a standing agreement that it is off limits for both of us. But.....if someone was teeing off on me like that I don't know if I could resist.

hit like a man...get hit like a man.

really, though, i agree. i don't think that i could ever hit a woman.

in her defense: we both knew i was going to say, "keep it." but come on. you gotta at least try to give it back. am i the only person that sees a problem w/ this form of social norm violation?

When that happens, I take two pennies from the "take a penny, leave a penny tray" and call it good.
