From a man's point of view.

This film is about desperation. The women did what they had to do because circumstances wouldn't allow or make room for any other alternatives. Whether their oppressors were men, women, children, lawn knomes or monkeys, they did what they had to do to save themselves, as anyone would.

It's funny that you say that (first poster) because last night I made some pretty sucky stir-fry for dinner. Well, afterwards my bf said that basically it sucked and was the worst thing I ever made. Well we both laughed about it because it's true and I didn't like it either. Well after dinner watching this movie when Joe says the line about having a fat ass and being a lousy cook. my bf looks over at me with this expression like"uhh please don't bludgeon me to death tonight in my sleep." Haha I got a kick outta that and an apology!

As a black, dwarf, blind, transgendered serial killer, I didn't approve of what Dolores did.
No really, I don't think you being a man changes anything.
And there have been plenty of horrible females in movies (Nurse Ratched in One flew over the cuckoos nest being one example of a woman who tormented men and as the audience we were made to want her punished) -

It was a bit scary to hear two woemn talking like that, but they were not talking about a simple argument between a couple. They were talking about a man who was drinking, who had no respect for his wife, who stole money from the members of his own family and who sexually abused his own daughter. There's a difference.

Haha, actually - the character of Deloris is a woman I could totally love. She wasn't abusive or hateful, she was patient let a lot of stuff slide, and then drew a line when it should have been drawn. Her husband couldn't have had a better woman, or underappreciate her more. Deloris' character isn't threatening at all to me in that I think that either a woman or man placed in the same situation would act identically since it's completely justifiable.

But the conversations between Kathy Bates and Judy Parfitt were beep scary!
I'm a woman and that David Mamet-style "not TALKING, but just talking" conversation about what Dolores should do in her situation scared ME! Both women were amazing in that scene.
Oh, and yes, you must always let your wife win an argument (or at least make her think she did).

Do men actually believe they should never argue back or stick up for themselves because of the misandrist "hell hath no fury" isn't that a form of oppression and domestic abuse as well or like many things today it's only wrong if a man does it but ok when done by a woman?

Many, if not most, men do.
isn't that a form of oppression and domestic abuse as well
It's a form of psychological abuse that would
never
be tolerated if it went the other way.
like many things today it's only wrong if a man does it but ok when done by a woman?
That's the double standard.

If this comment isn't misandry, then there's no such thing as misandry.
