I know he was definitely beaten by her. I saw it many times. But we had a different way of dealing with her. He'd let her have more and more booze until she passed out.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I saw a guy being really abusive to his girlfriend. She was asking people to help, but no one would. When he grabbed her, I tried to separate them, but he turned on me. I punched him and knocked him down. It wasn't a scandal; I was just doing what anybody should.
And the woman who could win the respect of man was often the woman who could knock him down with her bare fists and sit on him until he yelled for help.
At the time that I knew them, they were not living together. They began dating again after their divorce, so I didn't really see fighting.
My brother used to get beaten up all the time because he was very effeminate.
I didn't beat her. I just pushed her out of bed.
I was on the stairs coming down when she let him in.
Mother beat the hell out of us. She'd have wild outbursts.
Well even before she was diagnosed with the cancer, I would have said that she was a lot tougher than me and most guys would probably say that about their wives and it's probably true in most cases.
That incident ruined my reputation for 10 years. Get one Beatle drunk and look what happens!
Why don't we actually fight for a woman's right even to complain about being beaten up. That is more important than driving. If a woman is beaten, they are told to go back to their homes - their fathers, husbands, brothers - to be beaten up again and locked up in the house.
