I received the following comment from Fiona regarding my last post, Do Not Hit Women. Fiona has her own blog, gai.ninja. Thank you very much Fiona for your perspective!
Hi Sensei,I hope you are well.I have a comment in response to your latest post, so thought I'd send it over.I also feel that women should not hit men, unless it is self-defence. There is an increasing number of cases of violent female partners, where women take their anger out on their partners, who are powerless to defend themselves, not wanting to hit a woman.I used to fight with my sisters all the time when we were kids. I usually won so before I was old enough to know it was wrong and get a grip on my ego I used to do it all the time. But my mum always said people used violence as they weren't smart enough to use words, and when I was old enough to understand that, I changed my ways.I feel everyone should try and attain that standard - solve problems with words, not violence - and not just men.Thank you, as always, for your blog - I really enjoy your wise words :) And many congratulations on becoming a grandfather.Kind regards,Fiona
