As I have some insight into Graham's mind I can tell you, those of you who are "not biting" or "done with the discussion", my idea in posting the OP was to have some fun, "humourous fun", as generations of men and women have done, emphasising or exaggerating the differences between the sexes. Hard to believe such a noble intent could do much harm to anyone, or if not noble, very mildly irreverent intent.
I've never hit a woman, I've been lucky enough to be the father of a daughter who has achieved pretty remarkable things in her life so far, having been married to a woman who told me, admittedly very quietly, (oh and once in church), she loved me and wanted my child.
However, in spite of that record I can see how some women might wish to use my intended joke about no one getting killed in an argument, as justification for holding me as a man, responsible for those vio!ent men there certainly are out there. A good friend of mine, whose husband did use violence against her when he was serving in the British armed services, and she was in Malaysia as an army wife. She said something similar about all men being held responsible if one father has been guilty of harming their child. I'd suggest, as most men try to protect their children from anyone harming them, she might have been wrong there.
Other than that, what a thread hey, as what's his name, who was once married to Katy Perry said, after being castigated for publicly upsetting the father of a former girlfriend, and ended up losing a radio presenting job, and our prime minister condemning him and Jonathan Ross, who only witnessed the event, "I do worse things than that every day"! (Russell Brand wasn't it) .
