In the last few years I have noticed that men have become abusive towards women. It is not only in one race but in all. What is the explanation of this behavior?

I think it has a lot to do with the up bringing, and their male macho type ego , their in control and you listen to them or else, well this is what i say first of all no man should ever under no circumstance should a man hit a woman he's no man to do that, some men that hit woman basically do it for a living you'd swear that's what they were taught in life, some men are very abusive and they don't know when to stop. well i've had my share but i had learned to fight back and at times it saved me.the man is also probaballyvery unhappy with something his wife,maybe he's cheating and the guilt is catching up,he could be so high on drugs or drunk could be lot's of reasons but it's wrong some women die from spousal abuse.A man is a man and it doesn't matter the race, it wrong in any color, how would these abusive if tables were turned,

As for the abuse, it's wrong, many women have died do to spousal abuse, i just think there's lot's of reasons why men are abusive, and yes you are right, it is in all the races.and you know if there's children that are in the picture, don't they understand how that fighting and beating up could effect the childrens lives?And you know if a husband is beating his wife no one likes to get involved. I just know any one who is abusing the othe partner seriously needs help.
