That's just it? Why would any woman think that it's her fault she's being abused? That's what doesn't make any sense to me because a man has absolutely no reason to abuse a woman no matter what she does. It's not her fault!

Fear really is a big problem. But you know, a woman can kill a man just as easily, killing someone is a very simple thing to do, yet men aren't really afraid of women are they? I understand the position many women are in but I also think that being corageous would change things around as has been proved.
