It's going to be automatically assumed that I'm defending Stevie here, but that's not really the case. I just can't think of any instance where hitting or slapping a woman is acceptable -- unless she's coming at you with a weapon.

Believe me when I say I would never defend a man who hits a woman. I've been in a very abusive relationship for almost 5 years and thank God I had the courage to leave. I know what I'm talking about. I'm only saying that Stevie was no saint either and neither was I, but that doesn't justify him hitting her or my ex hitting me (to a point that my own doctor didn't even recognize me).
