From a man's point of view.

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).
It's the power of the P-U-you know what! -

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. -

Ummm excuse me, are you trying to say that if it were about a mother sexually abusing her son people would not think she deserved to die? Because if so you're full of crap. Because when mothers abuse their children sexually I think people consider it much worse as it's something people really don't ever expect a mother to do-especially to a child she gave birth to. It seems to disturb people on a much deeper level. People take trying to point out double standards too far when they start saying things that are flat out not true.

from above :
As I said I'm not abusive or anything but my wife and I do argue, but everytime I watch this movie I think "Damn, maybe I should just let her win the fight."
^^^
Damn, I was just thinking the same thing! Was thinking.. "Men, do not EVER Piss off your woman"
