Men Who Hit Women
You weaklings,
who are not proper men at all,
are you proud of the black eyes?
Are you pleased when she cowers?
Cowards.
Little men with big fists
and no hearts.
Little boys
with your tantrums
and your egos to protect.
No-one's interested in your whining excuses.
Argument losers, hopeless boozers -
pathetic.
Or using God as a reason for brutality -
obscene.
Go look in the mirror
and ask yourself
whether you see
a real man.

You cover a wide scale of 'types' of men who hit women. Not every 'type' given is rolled into any one man; that would make identification much easier. It's a good poem, well written, and on a very potent theme.
