Ed, regarding the recent BackTalk on domestic violence. It goes both ways. Although this person has strong feelings about this subject, his statement has to do with alcohol. I think what is worse is the people who do not need alcohol to abuse their spouse, or even their children. I am a victim of abuse; my father was very abusive and did not even drink! Maybe your wife needed to drink to be around you! Also, women being successful has nothing to do with the way they treat a man, and if someone is being abused they should defend themselves and do something about it. Whether it is to leave the hostile environment they are surrounding themselves in, or tell an authority. Women are also smaller than men; it is a proven fact. I think women are not nearly as dangerously abusive as men.

Woman

So more women are victimized by abuse than men. But there are men in abusive situations and they deserve help too.—Ed. Note
