Just wondering. I mean he mention understandable reasons to hit, so I asked him if sparring was one of them.

Of course sparring is one of those occasions where hitting a female is okay, hell it's mandatory unless you think 'sparring' means 'being a punching bag'...

What a ridiculous question.

No, I know what sparring is, I was wondering if that was one of the exceptions.

Ok good it's not just me rolling my eyes every time that is asked. It is at best a distraction and at worse trying to lessen the problem being discussed.

Sparring is not the same thing. Intention there is completely different,as is the force utilized, as well as consent is given. There are generally agreed upon rules with sparring.

I was not going for that no. I asked him that question to see the exceptions, I was never trying to say it was the same thing. What do I speak ewok or something because I feel misquoted.

Sparring is action agreed upon by the participants.

Therefore it is clearly not the same thing.

Cripes Zeke, you are smarter than that.

I'm sorry if you feel as if I misquoted you. That was not my intention. I'm just trying to say sparring in relation to "hitting" a woman is comparing apples to oranges.

It also tends to land both individuals in a jail cell with more wounds than otherwise. I don't expect a person angry or hurt to hit back within reason, so excessive force is probable. The reaction should be flight and not fight in most circumstances.

I'm not staking a position, I am making an observation.
