About This Quote

Men who hit do so because they can...someplace they enjoy or need to humiliate another. There is no love in violence, only control and domination. I think this quote is pretty self explanatory. It's about why men hit women.

The idea that men "hit" women because it gives them an emotional rush or gives them some sort of emotional gratification is common among abusers or violent partners. This kind of attitude also ignores the fact that men can hit women for many other reasons, including but not limited to being scared, being upset, being angry, etc...What does this mean? Well, unfortunately, it means that abusers tend to blame the victim for their abuse while continuing to remain abusive.
