"And they will try to get you into a provocative situation."
Jesus you guys really would really say anything to make him look bad. How else would you even be able to convey "gaslighting" or "abuse" with words at that time.
- pseudalopex 6y agoI actually didn't say anything about Connery. Gaslighting was called gaslighting or trying to make someone think they're crazy. Abuse was called abuse. Even trying to provoke someone isn't gaslighting. But that isn't what he said. He just said "and get into a really provocative situation". He also said he hadn't changed his mind from when he said "If a woman is a bitch, or hysterical, or bloody-minded continually, then I’d do it." Reacting to verbal abuse with physical abuse usually just escalates the situation. So it would be bad advice even if he meant what you think he did.
- mam2 6y agoI think he meant exactly what you said, and i agree its escalation, and personally i would not do it. Its just not "spousal abuse" like OP said trying to make hime look like evil. Its just light escalation that he say he doesnt want to do on the first place. Its not the end of the world even if its bad. Its just like the end of world in this thread because its about hitting a woman. He would say yeah "i would puch a guy who harrass me in a bar if he doesnt stop" and no one would bat an eye.
- pseudalopex 6y agoMany people would bat an eye at that. Even light escalation would be counterproductive. Turning a conflict physical isn't light escalation anyway.
