First off, my point was that all of these girls react with violence 

when

there are other options.  This _is_ anime/manga and I don't expect 

then to

act differently.  But I get tired of people verbally attacking Akane 

for

being violent when there are examples of Ukyou and Shampoo doing 

similar

things, if for different reasons.

Actually the reasons DO make a difference.  And the Bittern End had
a point.  Shampoo's behavior is unconscionable.  

Try telling that to Shampoo fans.

>From Akane's POV, her actions are just as justified as those of 

Ukyou and

Shampoo.  All of the girls (and Ranma) smash guys into orbit to avoid
getting glomped.  When Akane hits Ranma for being insulting her or
seemingly being unfaithful, people say she's violent.  (BTW, are 

there any

examples of Ranma really insulting Ukyou or Shampoo?)  I guess it

No.  He doesn't love them.  

Are you saying that is a) how he treats people he loves or b) that that 
excuses him?  You're wrong on both counts; first by Nodoka, and second 
by general ethics.
