Just a slap?

It all begins with a small bickering,
A snide comment...
"So what ?? ", "Ohh come on,
don't over react to make him lament!!"
And don't you forget, our society is dominated by males,
Nothing abnormal, stop regaling these woe tales!!!
He is civilized and educated, better be thankful, crazy you...
Haven't you seen women being beaten black n blue??
This feminist crap looks good in news, not meant for us..
He slogs hard for you n kids, so stop creating a ruckus!!!
"His beastly boss and the work pressure he has to deal,
Sometimes it happens,
it is normal, you see, nothing surreal!!!"
But, I question this logic, correct me if I am wrong..
Too many wrongs still don't make a right, not his RIGHT all along!!
Just because it wasn't a physical blow, it shouldn't hurt??
And so I shouldn't raise my voice, not even blurt???
Partners we are supposed to be, he is not my saviour...
A wrong act deserves apology,
The best apology is a changed behaviour!!!
Let there be no next time, I 'll not fret or frown...
Rising with my head held high,
I'll simply adjust my crown.....
