"It's like when a small child lashes out when it's not getting it's way. Fundamentally, it's an expression of powerlessness."
How sick and completely untrue.
I don't think the dead Mr. Winkler would have viewed the hold in his back as a gesture of weakness.
Clara Harris was not expressing "weakness" when she ran over her husband, twice, killing him. With his daughter from a previous marriage in the seat next to her, a girl who has been further traumatised by her stepmother's attempts to whitewash her crime.
Socorro Caro wasn't powerless when she shot three of her four children dead as a way to further abuse her husband, after physically abusing him for years.
Larissa Schuster wasn't powerless after she put her unconscious husband in a barrel of hydrochloric acid, pouring in more after she noticed his legs weren't fully dissolved by the acid.
How much more bullshit and denial do we need to see on BS and other blogs regarding violence against men? Apologists who ignore this kind of violence are reprehensible and pathetic.
The victimhood lie only takes you so far.
