Jane2011 Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 Truth be known, I was just dying to start a thread with the title "Hell Hath No Fury Like A Woman Scorned." But since I've done so, what do you have to say about it? Men, have you ever pissed a woman off so much that she got vindictive and Fatal Attraction on your ass? And did you kinda think you deserved it? Or do you feel that there's no excuse for crazy behavior even when deserved? What would you do if a woman hit you? Ladies, have you ever gone crazy on a man? Even just a little? I have...once. "Crazy" is relative, though. I didn't do anything serious. It was all online. It was my online romance from 1999. After we had a falling out, I said some negative things about him to some people online (who were his friends). Just embarrassed him. I've not ever actually done anything like hit a guy or shown up at his house in a rage or called him on the phone breathing heavily. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

kaylan Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 Meh...I feel the quote doesnt have much bearing to real life. Men have way harsher fury than women ever will. Id say thats a good thing. We dont need women being as destructive as men are. 5 Link to post Share on other sites

threebyfate Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 LOL, what exactly did she do? How old was she?In her forties. Ran around with a major whisper campaign. Many she told things to, told me about them. Some believed her. End result, people will believe what they want to believe. Worked most excellently as a filter for who to trust and who not to. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

And did you kinda think you deserved it? Or do you feel that there's no excuse for crazy behavior even when deserved? So far there have been a couple of times where I got a woman so pissed off she refused to ever speak to me again. They were both, just friends, that I wanted to be more with. I know I deserved it with one girl, but the other, no way at all and she never told me why she was mad. Sigh.. What would you do if a woman hit you? That depends on her reason for hitting me, what method used and how hard she did it. I've been slapped twice, by the same girl but I was really teasing her and trying to get her mad and she slapped me as a joking punishment type thing. I definitely deserved it. If a woman actually hit me out hard out of anger, I'm not really sure what I would do. Well the only thing I know I would actually do is try to restrain myself as much as I can. I have never yelled at or hit a woman and I rather keep it that way. Link to post Share on other sites

TaraMaiden Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 OK, first of all, being a stickler for accuracy, let's get this right: Heav'n has no rage like love to hatred turn'd Nor Hell a fury, like a woman scorn'd. The saying is from the closing line of act III of William Congreve's The Mourning Bride, first produced in 1697. right, with that out of the way..... Men start wars out of a sense of entitlement and revenge. Women start wars out of a sense of justice and outrage. BUT: If a man hits a woman, or abuses her cruelly, he deserves everything coming to him, legally speaking. If a woman hits a man, or abuses him cruelly, she deserves everything coming to her, legally speaking. Wanton cruelty, abuse or physical injury out of sheer spite is inexcusable, no matter what the provocation. Link to post Share on other sites

Not saying women are any worse than men but put them in power and they would start wars for the same exact reasons. It is already showing as women get more power they pick up the same bad traits as men. We really are not much different than each other. Also justice and outrage and entitlement and revenge are relative terms. Many brutal dictators think they are doing things out of sense of justice. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

SSexySSadie Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 I've never hit a man, I mean, there were times when that itsy bitsy voice inside of me urged me to, but I never have, personally I don't believe in raising my hand to another person, no matter what. I couldn't respect a man who hit a woman, so how could I in any way justify hitting him? I have, however, got his car towed away from my driveway.....ooops! Hell hath no fury baby!!

TaraMaiden Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 Truer words have never been spoken before. “I object to violence because when it appears to do good, the good is only temporary. The evil it does is permanent.” -Mahatma Ghandi “If the numbers we see in domestic violence were applied to terrorism or gang violence, the entire country would be up in arms, and it would be the lead story on the news every night.” – Rep. Mark Green “One in three women may suffer from abuse and violence in her lifetime. This is an appalling human rights violation, yet it remains one of the invisible and under-recognized pandemics of our time.” Violence against women is an appalling human rights violation. But it is not inevitable. We can put a stop to this.” – Nicole Kidman I'm bowing out now. this has come too close for comfort.... Link to post Share on other sites
Woggle Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 We now know that was a lie.. since when has O I L spelt "justiceandoutrage"...? We know it was a lie but many people don't see it that way. My point is that the reasons for starting wars is relative. A woman's crusade for justice might be seem as self serving to others and besides the road to hell is paved with good intentions.

Author Jane2011 Posted April 8, 2012 Author Share Posted April 8, 2012 What would you do if a woman hit you? I'm interested to hear what men would have to say about that My ex used to say he'd leave a woman, no questions asked, if she ever hit him, no matter how long they'd been together. For him, it was more about that being proof that she's 'ghetto' more than even the wrongness of hitting a man. (At least that's the impression he gave when he talked about it. He was very big on whatever woman he's with being classy.) So he understood that a woman might have reason to be mad, even lots of reason to be mad, but her showing it in that way was ghetto behavior. Anything else she did, like yell or whine or complain, he could put up with, but no hitting. I've never been mad enough at a guy, in any moment, to want to hit him. When extremely mad/angry, I've had thoughts when I wasn't around the guy which wished someone else would slap him or beat him silly, but I wouldn't do it myself. Link to post Share on other sites
