Dear Mrs Capito,
ReplyDeleteHi Mrs. Capito my name is Brittany and I am from Charleston, West Virginia. I have many questions about male’s not being aloud to hit women. Personally I think that if a male is in a bad situation or possible dieing than they should be aloud to hold a female back. Not hit her but grab her arms so she can’t keep hitting him. Most males think it’s okay to hit women if they hit them first because their defending their self. But most males don’t realize how hard they can hit, and it would be hard for the women to start defending her self because most men are stronger then women. I also think that if you have committed a crime depending on what you have done you should have no right to do anything. I think if you kill somebody then you should be put to prison for life.
