When is it okay for a man to hit a woman?

There is no exceptions when dealing with Domestic Violence. You're a man, you hit a woman and your ass goes to jail, plain & simple. Now it's up to HER if she feels like pressing charges and she's actually dumb enough to go back to your ass a 2nd time. In the case of Rihanna & CB, I don't find it a big deal b/c it happens in "normal" life anyways, so why should their celebrity status be any different? Even though Chris is labeled a hypocrite b/c he advocates no violence to women. It's all just rumors(as to why Chris hit her) b/c none of their agents are talking about the situation till it all settles down.

Edit: I find it funny how now that I'm listening to the radio, that there's a CB song playing & then when that's done a Rihanna song is playing.. THEN when i switch to the other station a Rihanna song is playing then a CB song. It's like a competition now lol

Yes I agree that there are no exceptions to domestic violence, but I was referring to hitting a woman in general.

If some bitch is trying to kill me, I'd hit her without thinking. I don't want to die and I don't feel like running.... These reasons also work though:

1. they give you a STD
2. Dinner is cold/ not ready
3. you are drunk
4. they asking for it by trying to think
5. it is saturday and there is no beer
6. the voice says so
