Have you lived with your parents throughout life, or did you go away for school/work/volunteer?

Regarding your parents...the situation doesn't sound good at all. You do need to protect yourself, but you also need to know when to leave. If incidents like these are occurring regularly, I'd say that your family has bigger issues that are merely hiding behind the physical abuse. You need therapy for yourself ~ to help you work through your emotions and managing your anger in healthy ways quickly. But, if you're going to continue to stay with your parents, you all need to go to therapy together ~ to get to the core issues and learn how to disagree with one another, but still show respect and caring for one another. I didn't read any of those emotions in your post, so I do wonder what the underlying resentments are. Therapy will help. Hopefully, you and your family will go and get help.

I am curious because you are now questioning your view of women. Does that mean that prior to you coming to this revelation that you noticed yourself carrying a pattern of resentment towards women in general? Did you feel as though women thought that they could have or do whatever they want in life, whereas men actually have to work for what they want? ~ Not an uncommon resentment, btw. In Western civilization, women typically do have more options than men do. However, that is slowly changing. Some men are happy to be stay-at-home fathers. I've known a couple SAHF's through the grapevine.

I would generalize that both sexes feel a lot of pressure to be what they're supposed to be. Some people are better at hiding their emotions than others ~ which isn't necessarily a good thing! Therapy really is the best advice that I can advise you to follow.
