Ehh, in NH we have specific strangulation statue, so I’ve had it ground in my head. Also a lot of the lit about leathilty uses strangulation. With a client I don’t correct them, but with professionals we are supposed to use strangulation. But apparently in Canada choking is what they use, so it’s left in this valley…

Dictionaries and best practices regarding DV in my state are not the same thing. As a DV advocate we have to use strangle because it means something different in the statues.

IN the DV community of the USA depending on the state we have to use strangle. It’s something they want on reports.

Well where I am from (USA!), strangulation is the term used. Since this event is in Canada choking is acceptable, thanks for updating me.

It’s a minor quibble, but you should use the term strangulation for the article. Choking involves a foreign object, not the act of attempting to cut off the airway.

So the guy who locked up a woman and beat her bloody, has a history of violence towards women? I’d be a believer if dudes like this got smoted on the regular.

Rape is a tool of war that is utilized far too often. I hope this monument gives these women a small amount of comfort, to know that people in the future will know of what happened to them.

Merry Melons, Hairy Helen. Like I could choose a shorter name but I like my full name.

Ehh, those wingnuts are still in our congress, although a bushel of apples in a reusable bag could also get a place in our congress.

Oh, she doesn’t support gay marriage, equal pay, is super anti-choice. The only good thing she did was support VAWA, which considering how little NH spends on that front is money that is well needed.

She doesn’t believe in equal pay for equal work. As a NH resident I can assure you she is nearly as garbage as most Republicans. The only good thing she has done is support VAWA.

They are both beautiful. Also you could wear a potato sack, but as long as your happy and excited to be getting married, you’ll look fabulous.

Haha

Geez it’s like we aren’t supposed to kick adults with children in their arms. How else am I supposed to my cardio?

Would bring it down to pound town with a bearded R-Patz? Sure, provided he’s willing and FWK Twigs doesn’t mind.

She lost her children to a childhood illness. TB?

Oh, that is an amazing turn of phrase.

She lost her kids to childhood illness. I can rationalize her reality but it still cheesed me off.

I loved Mother Jones so much, she kicked mountains of ass. But she was anti-choice which kind of ruined it.

In his car, thinking we are going to make out, and he says “I hate Hindus”. I’ve found that out and out racism is a real mood killer.
