There IS an excuse for domestic violence. You HAVE to be a woman for it to work, however. If not, why aren’t all of the activists up in arms over this one?

Investigators say the victim was 5’10″ tall and weighed 126 pounds. andingham is 5’9″ tall.

I read about this in a newspaper in the UK. Absolutely astonishing were the comments made by not just women but men also who found it very amusing. None seemed to care that a man was murdered. I doubt if the sexes were reversed it would have found such amusement. Why isn’t she facing jail time at least if not execution?

Good point and sad, but true. Until men actually stand up for themselves, this will continue. But, studies have strongly indicated for years now that men just suck it up and don’t complain.
But, the genders being reversed scenario is what many womens orgs ignore. After all, to them, ALL women are victims, ALL men are controlling perpetrators.
