Senior Speaks!: Domestic Violence Against More Intelligent Partners

Actor Dennis Waterman has admitted hitting his then wife Rula Lenska, because the actress was more intelligent than him. He said ?she certainly wasn?t a beaten wife, she was hit and that?s different?. I think that by beaten he means unprovoked and more severe violence, and that by hit he means light and provoked violence.

Whether provoked or unprovoked, domestic violence is wrong. Unprovoked beatings are worse because of their severity, and because victims are usually only guilty of getting with and staying with their violent partners. Provoked light violence however, is reactionary and less severe. There is wrong on both sides.

Dennis Waterman also said that ?the problem with strong, intelligent women is that they can argue, well?. I believe that by strong he means mentally strong. Some people expect to be able to dominate and have the most authority in their relationships. If these people have relationships with people who are more intelligent than them, the intelligence of their partners could give their partners advantages over them. As a result of having dominating personalities, these people feel frustrated when they are dominated by partners they cannot defeat in arguments due to their partners being more intelligent. Winning the arguments enables their partners to have authority and impose decisions. Some people then lash out physically because they cannot win with words. This is why people who want to be able to dominate their relationships shouldn?t have relationships with people who are more intelligent than them.

Daily Mail columnist Carol Sarler has reacted to Dennis Waterman?s revelations by writing about a clever woman she knows called Jean who was hit by all her partners, all of whom have not hit any of the women with whom they have since had relationships. It seems Jean used her intelligence to manipulate her partners so her partners would become frustrated enough to attack her physically.

Being attacked physically gives manipulative intelligent people like Jean a thrill and makes them feel powerful and victorious, because they feel in control of their partners when their partners have lost control of themselves. Intelligence can be used to do good and to do evil. If people use their intelligence to do evil, good people regardless of their intelligence, are at risk of being harmed by them or pushed into doing evil if they have relationships with them.
