got through it and are here to talk about it.

BUT. This is a thread about the shocking recent increase in violence against women by men. It is not a thread about abusive wives or girlfriends. We know abusive wives and girlfriends exist. But they are not the topic of this discussion.

If the thread is hijacked into a discussion about abusive wives and girlfriends, we will have effectively dismissed the INFINITELY more frequent and likely problem of violence of men against women. A problem that has increased by a shocking amount in the past year.

If people want to discuss abuse by women against their male partners, I suggest starting a separate thread about it.
