I am totally shocked by your response. I see you did not read what I wrote or are just a dishonest person selectively quoting what I said to get the straw man you want to argue against instead of arguing with what I said.

Because we know that leaving is the worst thing a woman can do if she doesn't want to get hit again.

Umm we don't know that. There is no statistics at all that show women that leave after the first time they are abused to be at higher risk. The stats show that women that stay with there abusers than leave are at higher risk. See my point is if they get the fuck out after the first time not only will they not get there ass kicked any longer but be safer.

And no, shelters aren't around every corner. They close all the time for lack of funds, and many don't have enough beds even when they're open. I don't even want to think about the logistics of leaving when you have kids!

Some more coddle the victim mentality but I expect nothing less from reading your posts. Abusers do not go from Mr/Mrs Nice person to abuser on a switch or after kids they have the behavior long before hand. First sign of this behavior they should be out the door period. Staying in a situation where you are abused is a mental disorder that needs treatment. There is something wrong with them to stay.

Seriously, read up on this kind of thing before you jump on the "why should we care; they must like it" bandwagon.

Dishonest fucking much? If you bothered to read what I wrote I want these assholes behind bars. I don't want people abused that is why I am pleading with people to get the hell out the first sign of abuse. Telling people they are a victim means they will act like a victim, helpless. Telling people they are ill might lead to someone getting treatment.
