I agree with you that women should not just allow brutish and wicked men to beat them without acting in self defence. Women should use any means neccesary to defend themselves when they are attacked, and that includes biting, using pot and pans and make sure that you use all of your strength and self determination, to let this cruel man feel some of the pain, let it be a fight, you may win or you may lose, but let it be a fight for your rights, you must defend yourself with self defence and self determination. And when that fight is over, you should bring an end to that relationship, and since they are only trying to disadvantage the women because they think that they are stronger than her, the woman should then report the beating to the police, and see if he would then beat up on the police. I will guarantee you that he will disappear as soon as he realizes that the police are involved.
Again I send many oceans of blessings and self determination to Africa people everywhere
ONE BLACK LOVE ONE BLACK HEART
