NZ Herald: Half of women tell of emotional violence

Just another small step for feminism and a giant leap backward for men.

“A family violence expert is calling for a national discussion about relationships after finding that more than half of New Zealand women have suffered psychological and emotional violence from their partners.”

Okay, so shall we commence that national discussion here then? Now we have elevated “emotional abuse” to emotional violence. Let’s ratchet up the hyperbole a notch! Let’s create an even larger catch net where males can now be classed as “violent” rather than mere abusers.

I note also, that if I don’t respond to her question “what do you think of my new dress”? then I’m hamstrung as well; now I can be accused of “ignoring violence”.

Where it it all going to end?
