Depending on who I say that around, some people will agree and some people will say "THERE IS NEVER A REASON...NEVER A REASON." Sure, there is never a reason but sometimes "I don't condone it but I understand" can be applied to both woman-on-man and man-on-woman intimate partner violence. Or...can it?

I completely agree. Rihanna came out of this scot-free, but I think there had to be a DAMN good reason for him to put both of their lives in jeopardy in that car.
Now -- I would never hit a woman. Ever. However, some women* take advantage of that and come at men with the "Whatchu gon' do? Hit me? I wish you would! Try it. I wish you would!"
Say that enough times and you'll find someone who will take you up on your offer.
ETA: Women aren't the only ones taking advantage.
