Senate The US Politics discussion

I don't even know why Democrats seem to be saying it's ok to abuse your spouse as long as they're male.

 

For some good news, the Illinois Republican Party is puttng its "full support" behind legalizing gay marriage...

EDIT:

OZK, you know the Democrats were trying to expand it to include men, right?

 

I had no idea. Good for them. Its name is still sexist.

Please realize, I'm against violence towards everybody - I don't support fewer restrictions on violence towards Native Americans, illegal immigrants, gays, or anyone. I support more (especially on violence against newborn males and unborn children, but those are two other topics you already know my opinion on).

 

I don't know what the answer to that question is. I've seen some data, but I know that actually collecting that data is very difficult and confusing. I would guess, simply because of cultural factors that make American men more prone to violence than American women, as well as the relation between androgenizing hormones and aggression, that violence upon women by men is more severe than violence upon men by women in the United States.

But I don't know.

EDIT: I worded it the opposite of what I meant. Freudian slip?
