If my man even thought about it I'd be out the door so fast, never to return. Never have understood why women stay.

If you have never been in this type of relationship you have no idea what it is like and judging other women says more about you then who you are judging.

Yes. There is nothing even remotely amusing here.

Last night NCIS happened to be on, it's not a show I watch so I don't know the names of the characters, and a woman punched her coworker in the stomach as she passed by. The thing is that had the male actor done the exact same thing to the woman, there would be letters of outrage.

In movies and on TV we see women throwing things at men, slapping and kicking them, and I wonder why that's seen as somehow acceptable. Why aren't they arrested and charged? Even in the Rice incident, there has been nothing condemning the woman's behavior. So why the double standard?

HUH???? Did she knock him out and drag him around unconscious like a piece of trash? What is wrong with you?

Sad, isn't it. Unless you have walked a mile in my moccasins.....don't judge. Just be grateful.

Ok, I am done talking to myself. I was just getting up to speed here and now I should be done.

That's such an insensitive thing to say, especially when you are in the midst of women who have shared very intimate and painful memories.

mstyrion, please don't give her a pass, take the opportunity to educate her. If you can open her eyes and her mind just maybe she will recognize the signs and symptoms of abuse that someone she cares about is secretly, silently experiencing, someone that she thinks can simply walk away.

Why aren't they arrested? Good God. Because they're TV shows. And most are written by men.
