Domestic violence debate, part 2: reaction vs. consequences

After the break Boova restates his position: stopping the violence should look the same regardless of who hits whom; the video was about intervention, not police. David Shedlock reframes it scripturally: either spouse hitting the other violates the command for husbands to love their wives as Christ loved the church and for wives to respect their husbands. A host tells a story from his second year of marriage — his wife hit him with a garbage-can lid and he didn't call police — then asks whether he'd be treated the same if he hit her, exposing the consequence-level double standard. The group debates size and strength (could the man stop it himself?), whether that makes it 'not abuse,' and whether a child hitting a parent changes the calculus. They land roughly where they started: all hitting is wrong, but reactions differ because likely damage differs.
