When it comes to domestic abuse, size really does not matter. The victim must be unwilling to call the cops or ask for help, willing to forgive the abuser, and unwilling to fight back. My current therapist has mentioned the dificulty in getting victims to leave the relationship, or press charges. The abuser can be smaller and weaker, the victim is unwilling to fight back. Back To The LJ Entry I never understood this double standard either. I had many fights with my sister growing up. She had a gut punch that would literally take your breath away. While punching Kate Moss is clearly wrong, a man who attempts to punch Angelina Jolie shall find himself spitting out teeth.

I never understood this double standard either. I had many fights with my sister growing up. She had a gut punch that would literally take your breath away. While punching Kate Moss is clearly wrong, a man who attempts to punch Angelina Jolie shall find himself spitting out teeth.

I've no idea WHAT that reason is though. At least not in this day and age. Men and women are supposed to be equal in all things. The bad needs to go along with the good. umm.. yeah.. that’s kinda what I said. I’ve no idea WHAT that reason is though. At least not in this day and age.
