true, but i have slapped my girlfriend before. but i know and she knows that if she wanted to, she could call the cops and have me in irons. no matter what, i cannot compete on my own with the entire violent force of the state. if she wanted to, she would just call the cops, and 17 or so heavily armed men and women cops would come down here and instantly drag me away. it would be an open and shut case of my male aggression versus her delicate female form. they break all their own ethical rules to mentally justify this double standard, but the fact remains that i would have to fight dozens of police officers in ever escalating force if my girlfriend decided to make such a call.
