I still think it is a no-brainer. Domestic violence.....it doesn't matter who the perpetrator is, is just wrong.
To suggest women are hysterical and men are not is also wrong.......have you never seen a man fighting a man?
What used to be rare in my day was women fighting...but even that isn't uncommon now.
Why is there violence against anyone? Might it have something to do with what people see on their TV and computer screens.

You may think that this is alright.....but concisitently seeing violent actions de-senstitizes the watcher and makes this action seem at best 'normal'...and at worst brave and worthy. Except on the screen when the hero dies he has five more lives to defeat his enemy.

If I were in a violent or abusive relationship I would head for the exit as fast as I could.....if that were not possible then I would use subterfuge to get my own back......a squeeze of Croton in his tea....a rub of insulating fibre in his underpants...or a cut chilli.
I could think of many ways that the perp might not die but might wish he had.
