Weekly Poll Recap: Talk About It!

By Essence · Updated October 29, 2020
Getting your Trinity Audio player ready…

In our last poll, we wanted to hear your response to the following: “During an argument, your man gets way too aggressive and he hits you.”

 
You guys are a feisty bunch! Here’s what you said you’d do:
 
Hit him back
47 %

 
Call the cops
35 %
 
Examine his motives, family history, etc.
9 %
 
Leave and return with your entourage
7 %
 
Now tell us,
Have you ever gotten into an altercation with a man? How did you handle the situation? Do you think it’s forgivable if a man has experienced domestic abuse in his childhood?   
 
Talk about it.
