So many forms of violence. I think possibly physical violence occurs more often today between partners. Our home became the first 'safe house' for women, in our community in 1984, (other women had got the project started). The prevailing attitudes prior and at that point when women were hit, seemed to be "well, what did she do to deserve it?" "She must of had it coming." (Who would dare admit to being kicked punched or raped the shame was so great)With no place to go, being blamed as the instigator, few skills for jobs outside the home, who will ever know how many women kept quiet, did as she was told to prevent words becoming blows, and cried in silence.

Chatty... I agree with your views above. And have to ask, how can 'adults'enjoy watching any form of violence as entertainment? Isn't there enough of it in reality ?
