Imagine this incident. The husband returns home and he is very tired and stressed out. He is upset because his boss gave him a warning. He is also upset because some stranger had parked in his space in front of the building. Furthermore, he is worried about the bills he has to pay at the end of the month, in addition to other things. Once at home, his wife tells him about their children’s low grades and misbehavior at school. The husband gets mad and starts beating up the children. The wife tries to intervene to stop the violence, but instead of things calming down, the husband beats the children and the wife at the same time. This is not a movie or a story. This is the real world of domestic violence where wives are beaten up by their husbands with or without a reason. Domestic violence against women is a serious problem that threatens the physical and emotional wellbeing of women, and that negatively affects the quality of their life.
The beating of women is a very old story that has been practiced for many centuries. Hundreds of years ago, women were treated as a commodity. They were in fact treated as slaves who had to obey the orders of those males who dominated them. These relationships existed in the male-dominant societies all over the world. Beating women was part of this culture, since the use of violence was applied to remind women that they are to remain under the control of their male masters.
Beating is part of the obedience relationship. In most religions, women are expected to obey their husbands. Both Christianity and Islam for example expect and order the woman to obey her husband and to submit to his will. The same is applied to other religions as well. So what happens is that when the woman does not obey her husband or if the husband feels that his wife is not obeying him, he resorts to violence to make things right for himself. This means that man gives himself the right to use violence as a defense against the disobedience of woman (Saadawi, p.28).
This argument about the cause of domestic violence against women, however is not very strong. The reason is that on many occasions, men tend to beat their wives up without any reason. Such beatings take place when the husband is upset, when he is stressed, when he loses his temper, when he thinks that his wife is arguing too much, in addition to many other causes where there is no disobedience by the wife. In such cases, women are actually being used as an outlet for the frustration, tension and stress that the husband is suffering. But, if someone is frustrated, tense and stressed out, does this give him the right to beat up his wife or sister?
The protection and preservation of the body and dignity are basic human rights of every individual. It is a violation of human rights to inflict physical pain onto a person. Therefore, the battery of women is a violation of the human rights of women. Still, many men ignore such rights and tend to beat their wives up as if these wives do not have any human rights at all. Why does man respect the red lights? Why doesn’t he beat his neighbor up? And why does he respect the property of other people? The answer is that there is a serious punishment if he violates the laws related to these things. But at the same time, he can beat up his wife and even cut or injure her and get away with it. Even when there are laws that punish a husband who beats up his wife, many husbands will still beat their women, mostly because they know that nobody is going to seriously investigate, or because they know that their wives will not dare complain to the authorities.

First things first; Do men/boys like to abuse gals/women and do women like it? Umm NO. SOME men may like it, but not men.. as in all men. Do women like it.. NO.
Some men do beat their wives for no reason, so do some boyfriends. Men don't, i'm a man and I don't. Abusive men do. And when abusive men beat their women, there is a reason, control. I won't get too much into the religious aspect of it because that's nothing that can be debated logically. Most religious men don't beat their wives, those that do aren't really as religious as the claim to be.
Abuse of the caliber you're talking about isn't about temper or having a bad day. It's about a mean ass person that wants to control and own another human being.
The last paragraph is the meat of the matter. Abusive men obey the traffic laws and property and all that stuff because; A: He doesn't control the people that handle those things and B: He desperately wants to fly under the radar of the public, come off as a good God and law fearing man so no one would dare question his life at home. It's all part of the same controlling lifestyle.
Also, he's not going to beat his neighbor for the same reason. The neighbor isn't under his control. The neighbor has no reason to take his abuse without fighting back or without calling the authorities. A battered woman thinks she can't live without her husband. He pays the bills, manages the home, the schedule, buys the cars and insurance. He does everything and over time has led her to believe that she would die without him around. If she fights back, she'll probably lose and get beaten worse. And fear (instilled by him) of losing her kids, her home, her lifestyle, all her money, her entire identity of being HIS wife, keeps her from reporting him. Other people do not have that fear of him or his power/control.
