08/27/2008 | Honestly, I've seen more girls freak out on guys in public. Adding gender to this seems silly.

08/27/2008 | Hell fire, last time I raised my voice to the ol' lady she raised a welt on the back of my haid that I can still feel when I chaw.
I ast her what for she was hittin' me, an' she done raised another welt.
I got to keep that woman away from those feminist awareness meetings down at the ladies auxiliary of the VFW auxiliary.

05/22/2008 | Hey apart from the obvious blip with "his woman." I believe that this statement would be just as good for women! It's called respect for each other!!

05/22/2008 | A good man generally doesn't refer to his partner as "his woman" either. At least not since the early 1900's.

11/23/2005 | I don't think he'll even raise his voice at home either, not unless he was trying to stop her from doing something which would harm herself. Plus why is it such a bad thing for a man to yell at a woman, when it is perfectly OK for women to shout and scream? It is not OK for anyone to yell.

11/17/2005 | Through many years of marriage, with an occasional breakdown in the perpetual pattern of pure marital bliss (right!) I can count on one hand the number of times I have raised my voice to my wife. I usually don't buy in to the emotional escalator.
Funny how SJ takes some heat for the euphemism "his woman. " English, as a language, really sucks at times. With the growing acceptance of "permanent partners" and "significant others" in lieu of married spouses, using the term "wife" can sometimes cause embarrassment. French handles this a little better, in that there is no specific word for wife, except "la femme," (the woman). Like "C'est ma Femme" means that is my wife. I'll bet they don't get their panties in a knot when some husband says that. SJ should have posted this item in french, then nobody could have gotten upset.

11/16/2005 | Likewise a good woman would never do the same.

11/16/2005 | I would agree with this. I know I raise my voice at times with my wife, and vice versa. However, I cannot foresee myself doing this in public. A man who yells at a woman in public is probably capable of doing much worse when nobody else is around. I am a person who likes to keep personal issues at home, and don't appreciate when people make their problems public knowledge. Having arguments in public shows me that people have bigger problems than just whatever they may be arguing about.

11/16/2005 | Ladies, this is what you might call and indicator that the guy will do much worse than this further down the road. Watch out for a guy like this.***To all those who got their feathers ruffled by the "his woman" thing, no disrespect but get over it. Im good at forgetting about the foolishly PC world we live in now. MY wife has never scoffed once at my usage of that endearing term, and thats what it is to her and to me. She is probably the most headstrong and independent soul I know and she usually accepts those things with a smile and a small roll of the eyes, and then calls me Her man, which makes me nothing but proud. Pardon me if I dont accept that way of thinking.

11/15/2005 | No guy should ever raise his voice to a woman in public. The only time I think it would be "understandable" is if let's say my girlfriend told me, in public, that she cheated on me. I think a guy has the right to go nuts, but there is a limit.

11/15/2005 | A good PERSON never raises his or her voice to anyone in public. He or she should probably try to avoid doing so in private as well. It's rude, unkind, and most importantly.. it won't get you anywhere.

11/14/2005 | The way this is worded seems to imply that it's OK to save abusive behavior for "in private".As other raters have implied-it is rude for anyone-man or woman-to drag their issues out for public display.

11/13/2005 | I'm in basic agreement with the premise, but I need to qualify it just a bit. In our society, it's unacceptable to have a man (or for that matter, a woman) make a scene in public by raising his/her voice. It makes people who are witnessin the shoutfest uncomfortable. I can vaguely remember a couple of occasions in Italy, however, when young couples got into some serious verbal sparring that turned out to be entertaining. At some point or other they themselves seem to have realized that their antics were center stage theater, and the gestures, put-downs, and ripostes got more and more outrageous and hilarious. There also tended to be a certain amount of "audience participation" to egg the players on. That said, even in that culture it generally is considered not to be a good thing to raise your voice against your partner in public.

11/12/2005 | This is true. Couples should do their arguing at home. Fighting in public demonstrates little or no class.

11/12/2005 | Doesn't take enough into consideration to be an absolute statement. . .I will raise my voice at my wife if she is in immediate danger and has to be alerted of something quickly. . .she instinctively understands the tone and volume are directly proportional to the importance of the immediate situation. . .

11/12/2005 | it would be a good thing if no one yelled at each other in public. we have probably sounded annoyed at one another at times. Usually on a very busy day and we just want to go home. and stay there. anyway true, not a good thing or lacks class to holler at another family member in public.

11/12/2005 |  First of all, a good man will NEVER refer to any woman as "his" (if you can't fathom the reasons for not "gettin' any", this might be a good place to start). Secondly, vocal anger is largely situational and should be meted out under the appropriate circumstances. If someone (the sex of that someone doesn't matter one whit) is giving you the tongue-lashing of a lifetime (publicly or privately) over something of little consequence, it's always nice to be able to "take the high road" of reasoned discourse, but (and let's face reality) there's a fine line between "positional assertion" and "doormat". Comes a time when ANYONE has to stand up for themselves (and possibly perform a gut-check reevaluation of power imbalances in a relationship), and if a raised voice can level the teeter-totter, the more sanity can be restored to the playground (the costs can be high at times, but if you weren't aware of your credit limit, you shouldn't have been out shopping anyways). Just one more reason why people aren't meant to be together long-term.

11/12/2005 | I would like to say that as someone who have a penchant for raising his voice on occasion- this isn't something that should be done. At home blast away but it's best not to berate your loved one in public.
