Who even cares? Good lord, this is the biggest political nontroversey in a decade. I’ve read worse shit on this very site.

Like punching your boyfriend in the face? You’re telling me that most women do this during arguments?

I mean, I just don’t know how else to educate you. Statistics back up my assertions, as well as both of our own anecdotes, as well as this very site. You seem to be someone that cares about the minority of DV victims who are women, as we all do, the feeling of which has been abused by special interest groups to…

You may want to check your sources on that. Bidirectional DV is roughly an equal split, but the real kicker? When it comes to unidirectional DV, men make up 70% of victims. Jezebel even did an article on this some time ago... before they promptly turned around and laughed about it, while they and many of the comments…

Domestic violence is an especially biased situation. I watched my father get arrested after my brother called the police when my…

She’s in jail because all people awaiting trial go there. I’m guessing there isn’t money for bail.

Being tried does not mean she is going to prison. This case isn’t going to get a guilty verdict. It won’t get a guilty verdict even if abuse cannot be proven.

That is an exceedingly rare occurance. The norm is that a couple commits a murder and the woman gets 1/4 of the jail time the dude does.

Uh, the Duluth Model would like a word.
