With all the recent discussion on physical abuse against women, Dunn took the liberty to write and post the following to his Facebook page:
*A note to the abused women of the world – do not take one more punch, slap or kick from any man. There is NOTHING that makes it okay. I call upon my brothers-in-manhood everywhere to join with me in ZERO TOLERANCE for violence against women.
Lately, there has been much discussion about violence against women by the men in their life. Many have said there is never a good reason for a man to strike a woman but I disagree and today I am speaking out! I have six sons and I have taught them what my father taught my brothers and I; there are four good reasons for a man to hit the woman he loves:
1. Fire
If you look over at the woman you love and discover flames have overtaken your girl, you should absolutely knock her to the ground and start rolling her around.
2. Spider
If your princess discovers a spider wandering across her shoulder and with sheer terror in her voice says “GET. IT. OFF!” You should smack that 8 legged sucker right off of her.
3. Choking
If over dinner she begins to laugh at another one of your amazingly funny stories and in the process, lodges a bit of her steak in her throat, you have my full support to yank her out of her chair, spin her around and start squeezing her beneath her rib-cage until she spits up!
