Suze:"Maybe I have spoken to, and patched up, so many more women hurt in domestic violence disputes than I have men, that I have more of an idea about these situations ..." Oh now I see where your authority on these matters comes from.

Yep, I've been to the hospital casualty waiting room on a few occasions and yes you've got me convinced. I've noticed all women slumped and lying across seats with black eyes and with broken noses and limbs...all dv victims...the triage nurse has a separate pile of admission forms with DV victim box already ticked. But hey Suze, they make the women exceedingly tough in the jurisdiction in which I live. It has a pop. of many 100's of 1,000's, and domestic homicides register on an annual basis, in the very low single digits, if at all, and the perp is almost just as likely to be a female.

I think my views on the subject have already been spelt out fairly simply, even for you Onthebeach.
I don't want to play this game any more :)
