They crave not necessarily like it. Logically they can't accept it but emotionally they crave it because it makes them feel safe knowing that they're with a dominant and strong man who can protect.
I say women OFF the protected species list!
I fully support violence against women because it is a tough love that is required to make women 'full scale' human beings alongside men as equals.
Its a sad fact that women are centuries behind men in terms of development of their human character.
So of course women want men who can 'teach' them how to reach this maturity which is something women crave that men have.
