Why do Italian men hit their wives?


And..... the women that take that crap!

reply

Because italian men are the only race of people with the big enough balls and most control over there wives to not take their garbage in the first place.

Maybe i'm being a jerk about it; I guess other races may have big enough balls too, I was generalizing based on your question.

Damn, I guess the African men have competition. Disgusting B.S

Any man who hits their wife is not worthy of them, is not a real man and deserves to be put into a cage for the rest of their lives.

reply

A-mean!

reply

Maybe because Italian men are stunted in their growth and development. Many live with their mothers until their late 20's, early 30's.

reply

Maybe because their women are such pieces of work?

At least that's how they are portrayed.

Same with black women, just watch He Got Game, how the black basketball players in college go on about black women being such a pain in the @$$ to put up with, unlike white women whom are completely the opposite.

All I'm saying, it takes two to tango. I've read that in most abused households, in the experience of the social workers who attend to them, the wife is just as violent and abusive. She just happens to be the weaker one and thus ends up being the punching bag (even Once Were Warriors admits to this, and thus Beth at the end and in the sequel did not hate/resent Jake, admitting she had a part too).

al its true in some households the abuse is mutual but in plenty of relationships it is one person abusing the other - which can be the wife abusing the husband or the husband abusing the wife - and people shouldn't blame the person being abused in those circumstances.

Some of them want to use you
Some of them want to get used by you
Some of them want to abuse you
Some of them want to be abused.

I'd ask what you meant by that, but I suspect you'd be too much of a pussy to respond.

Amen. OP is obviously a troll, the title of the thread alone gives him away.

People who don't like their beliefs being laughed at shouldn't have such funny beliefs

Firstly, since when are Italians a race? Secondly, Russians are much like that - as a matter of fact, when a Russian man does NOT give his woman a serious battery every now and then, the woman takes it to mean the man does not love her anymore. It`s the Russian way y`kno.

Russians are scum.

Any man who abuses a woman deserves to have himself beaten to death by a real man.

reply

Italian men do not hit their wives. Some people abuse their partners and some of those people are Italian and some aren't. It has nothing to do with a person's ethnicity.

People that are abused "take that crap" because they are too scared to leave. More than 3 women are killed an abusive spouse every day in the US alone and 70% of those are when she's trying to leave so we shouldn't judge people for staying as we don't know their reasons.

reply

Yeah, I agree with the guy who created this thread. Only Italian men beat their wives. This is only common knowledge, too. Mel Gibson (Irish), Mike Tyson (black), Chris Brown (black) and Sean Connery (Scottish) are all a bunch of crazy men of Italian heritage, that love to pummel their women.

reply

Connery may be "pro-slapping", but that's hardly the same as "pummeling". Just sayin'.

Hitting a woman is hitting a woman.

reply

Amen.

Italian guy told me once, "what do you tell an Italian women with 2 black eyes?"...."Nothin', she's already been told twice."

reply

I feel sick to my stomach that I laughed at this horrible joke 😅

reply

What a spoonfed idiot you are = Believing movies translate reality. That's why people like you fall so easily for propaganda.

Any "man" that hits a woman is not really a man. He's nothing but a coward.

reply

Michael Corleone never touched his wife and God knows she desearved it.

reply

Michael Corleone was fictional

reply

Coppola and Puzo made Michael suffer for his sins in the worst way possible in "Part III." They didn't do that to him because they thought he was a good guy.

reply

you spelled Hispanic wrong ---------------- seriously are you really so stupid and bigoted

reply

Did you just call someone a bigot after generalizing Hispanic people as women beaters?

reply

it was sarcasm, like if I called you smarty

reply

Go *beep* yourself. How about that for sarcasm?

reply

a little on the nose I think

reply

You are talking of SOUTHERN Italian Americans.
Who Hollywood have stereotyped.

Sad that all that people know about Italy comes from fantasy.
And these are Italian Americans, 3rd generation offspring of uneducated peasants from Italys south.

Eat the Neocons.
