Domestic Violence

Women commit, by far, the majority of violent child abuse.

They also commit, by far, the majority of elderly abuse (i.e. kicking, punching, and beating up helpless old people).

Isn't it amazing how many people become enraged or snotty when you point out this unassailable fact?

I guess the stereotype of "woman as perpetual victim" is embedded permanently in the culture.

Men must be ultimately to blame, I suppose.

Sexism On The Hoof

Letting women off the hook.

Because, after all, they're just girls.
