Facts about Abuse

If women use physical violence, it is usually in self-defense. Women who in desperation kill their abusive husbands, receive harsher sentences than men who kill their wives/partners. Men who complain that they are abused by their wife/partner, are likely to be told to go home and "discipline" her. Women who complain are likely to be told to go home and give him another chance.
