Is it a domestic violence?

I would say that it is definitely domestic violence if she really hit him with a golf club and chipped his tooth. I do not think that it is alright for either a woman or a man to do that. However, I think there have been cases where a guy has hit the wife and punched the lover when he caught the wife cheating and no charges were ever filed, although these were not highly publicized cases involving "stars" like this one was. If Tiger's wife had been caught cheating, and he had hit her, then I am not sure whether or not circumstances would have been different, but I think that if it were only a slap with his hand then probably there would not have been much said about it. On the other hand, if he had attacked her with a gold club and chipped her tooth, even if he had caught her cheating, then I think it would have been different. Unfortunately, I think that there is definitely a double-standard, because women are viewed as "weaker" and therefore can get away with more physical violence than a man. Then again, one of my friends started a discussion last week about a teenage girl that was arrested and had to spend the night in jail for slapping a teenage boy, so I have absolutely no idea how these things are determined. I think mostly it is about who is willing to press charges and not about whether or not the action itself was acceptable.
