Abuse of Women quote
I've heard this mentioned many times, but I've never found a source of what he actually said. Anyone have a pointer to where I could see that excerpt of the interview? -Fuzzy 16:51, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
Playboy 1965 "I don't think there is anything particularly wrong in hitting a woman, though I don't recommend you do it the same way that you hit a man." (Connery) It's buried in this [1] report. His ex-wife is writing an autobiography where shes claiming that he bullied her. K1Bond007 17:06, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
Connery also caused an uproar when he said similar things on the Barbara Walters show in December 1987. There have always been allegations, which he denies, that he physically abused his first wife during their marriage (they divorced in 1973).
This quote is mis-leading, if taken in context Sean Connery was discussing the fact that women should not be exempt from violence on account of the fact that they were women, and takes into account that men that are in situations that call for violence should take into account the fact that women are generally physically weaker.
Weather he is right or not, I think that it is mis-representing his views as written.
He later claimed his words had been taken out of context, but certaionly it is something that is always mentioned regarding Connery.
