As a DV advocate I'm aware of the statistics both in the US and around the world. However the post was about developing nations so that was what I responded to.
I see from your condecension to me (I am most certainly not your "darlin'") and your comments below about sexual intimacy and submissiveness that you are trolling so do enjoy that.
Jen--I'm bowing out of the discussion after this since I don't believe it can be constructive if it's being trolled. Great topic to bring up, as always.
From my research I've found the community, both male and female, to be well aware of the violence against women and to be highly accepting of it. It is, sadly, the norm. My research was in developing nations so I think it can safely be applied to the countries listed in the above chart.
I imagine if any women in those societies did hit their husbands the repercussions would quite possibly be deadly. I also don't think matching violence with violence is a valid solution. Better to work to solve the societal issues that cause violence against women than to teach women more violence.
