  • Because they need to feel their masculinity. The male species are naturally the physically stronger dominant ones. When somebody, male or female, gets frustrated they take it out on something, that is normal. However, it is also instinct to take this out on something smaller and less likely to return the action. Some people hit dogs or cats etc, some men beat women and some people just beat smaller people of their own sex. Essentially, to put it bluntly, it's bullying. It's not about the man being a man and the woman being a woman, it's about the woman being smaller than the man and being less capable of fighting back. It's not being a woman that makes her less capable of fighting back, it's her physical power. When you see these situations you can also look at it in the sense of a big guy and a little guy and so on. Simple truth is, they're cowards. The same way any person is who picks on somebody half their size for no reason.
  • There are many different reasonings. Jay123 made excellent points. A lot of times this type of abuse is a learned behavior. Not that every man who does it and their son sees it that they will do it.. that is not what I am saying. However, it happens many times that this is a learned behavior and the only way a man was taught to react.
  • The same reason why they maliciously hurt animals
  • We live in a violent culture. Sadly, there are people in our world who actually get off on hurting other people. They enjoy it because it makes them feel as if they are the one in power. This is, of course, and illusion; but the illusion makes them high. Violence is also a way of assuming a false or illusory sense of control. Most men (or women for that matter) who hurt their partners have unresolved issues: They were hurt by family members or loved ones when they were growing up. Many of them think this is normal behavior.
  • Because they can, and it makes them feel better about themselves, or making them feel like they aren't weak if they don't show it affecting them. Some do it without thinking and regret it later. Most are just selfish, as are all humans, and were only thinking of themselves and their needs. If others have needs, they forget because they can't be sidetracked from their own needs.
  • Because they are sociopaths...look it up. Really, there are a lot of em out there!
  • They are insecure, and try to maintain (power) over you with fear, intimidation and abuse.
  • I'm sorry, I must correct you. Real men do not hurt women.
  • Some men thrive on hurting woman. I thrive on arguements but not on hurting men.
  • It's all insecurity. They are selfish and will stop at nothing to have their needs met. It boosts their egos to make someone else feel lower then they feel about themselves inside. It never gets better only worse as time goes by.
