In the program "Everybody Loves Raymond" Deborah REPEATEDLY hits Raymond?

Hmm...I never thought of it, but, yeah, I guess it could. I've seen her hit him, but never really noticed the double-standard. Now, if it was the other way around, and he hit her all the time, you'd have domestic violence groups protesting.

Carrie on King of Queens does the same thing. I don't think it is good to show on tv because if a woman hits a man in real life the result will be different.

WOW! This is the kind of crap that makes writers scared to write. This is why we have no good sitcoms left, everything is reality TV. Does it make you feel better to watch TV shows were people in REAL LIFE are being dumped and having their hearts broken as opposed to a FICTION television show that depicts how life is in alot of families? I won't go on, it's too silly to waste more time.

she was a little tuff on Raymond,,, there is no way the writers could have switched slaps and made Ray hit Deborah,, CAN YOU IMAGINE ALL THE HYPE??? I'm a female and even I didnt think it was funny and I'm a huge fan of the show!

Marriage is like everyone loves raymond only there is no jokes. The problems are the same only they are not funny.

Don't worry, considering Ray's dysfunctional family...Deb's punches are a turn on/ like foreplay..............But you do have a valid point......since when is a slap in the face not a act of violence, even if it doesn't injury requiring medical treatment.

youre kidding me right? you are the reason why we cant watch The Honeymooners because ralph would say "one day il belt you right in the kisser"

keep your optimist ways to urself, people have to be dumb asses to let a show choose how they run their household

No, that just makes the show even funnier!

OMG! you know what? I totally agree with the last 3 answers: KiKi Morgan, Miss Monk, and definatelly Bowiefan517! that is my answer!! they said it all, thanks guys!

Not "Everybody", apparently.
