The truth is that sometimes it’s best for a man to hit his woman to get her to behave

Do you endorse these lines, or not?

I'd have to agree, for a suitably literal definition of 'sometimes'. Let's see... If my wife has had a psychotic meltdown, is wielding an axe and thinks our children are actually alien-clone-spies.

That should serve to signal disdain for absolute moral rules while also indicating abhorrence of domestic violence in all but the most extreme circumstances.
