should we also blame women?

No, I don't think anyone should blame a woman for her husband voilent behavior. She doesn't force his hand to hit her. She doesn't make the choice to be hit. I bet she doesn't like it either. When you heard them fight and her get hit on. You should of called the cops and have him arrested. Not question if she was to be blamed.

No a woman is not to be blamed because her parteners get up set and beats on her. it is the mans fault.Many couples have disagreements and don't come to blows. There are too many women killed by the batter. Here in the United States we have many program to help bothe the battered woman and the battering man. The big problem is that sometimes the woman can leave but she is too fearful to leave.

There is never an excuse for a man to hit his wife.He was wrong and I hope you call the police next time he does this.

I don't think a woman deserves to be hit by her husband, or any man for that matter, regardless of what the problem is, or who is to blame. Violence towards women by men should not be tolerated, and there is a campaign in Australia at the moment saying just that!
