Bud Hitting Sissy

She did not know the first thing about being a wife, but hitting her was wrong.

If somebody came after me with a knife,, I would run like hell,, why you hitting the attacker no telling where he or she is slicing

ok bravesrule.. so if a woman is comng after you with a knife, you just let her stab you?? dont be a moron...

Anyone male posting here who's said they would hit a woman is either A) Just pulling people's leg, or B) Only on the same maturity level as Bud was early on in the movie. There is never a reason to hit a person who is smaller and weaker than you. Even if someone grabs a knife to try to even up the size/weight difference, there are moves that the person being attacked can employ to make sure that knife never reaches its target without seriously hurting the attacker. Now if it's a gun, that's different. The gun holder can still be taken out quickly and effectively without resorting to violence just for violence's sake (provided they're given the chance), but if one is doing it for retaliation then that reeks of immaturity and an inability to keep yourself in check. Learn from the people who've been practicing the arts for centuries; the one who loses themselves in anger has already lost the battle. The one with the cooler head will win every time.

Of course, the next step is to walk away from that marriage or relationship to prevent that situation from happening again. That's a natural second step for those mature enough to do the first one, however, so it's not a problem most of the time.

One day the little boys will grow up. In the meantime, I hope they don't hurt a woman because she didn't keep their trailer up to their satisfaction.

I am thinking that Bud realized that he was in the wrong when he(Bud)hit Sissy. He became angry because their was no way that Wes was going to get away with hitting the lady that he truly loved!
