There's way too much acceptance of women smacking, punching and screaming at men on TV. If the shoe was on the other foot, that show would be shut down. Wrong is wrong, doesn't matter who is hitting- would you want your daughter to grow up to be that woman? Can't we- men, women- everyone- find a better way!?!

As for just leaving...wow, people still think that it's that easy? That's like saying to an addict, "Just don't do that drug again." If it was that easy why would there be treatment centers and programs around the world, or domestic violence shelters?

Which isn't to say it's not incredibly frustrating to be a friend/family member who wants to see the person leave and be happy...but it rarely is that cut and dry. Many of these individuals have been raised with violence, so it's just part of life for them. And abusers have ways to manipulate and control the situation (i.e. wife doesn't get a license, so she can't drive, moving to a remote location, cutting off contact with family/friends) so that "leaving" just isn't that easy. Plus there's usually threats of killing the spouse, kids, family, even the pets if they dare leave.
