"I Just Don't Understand...."
Jun. 27th, 2007 07:33 pm We occasionally watch Glenn Beck. It's sort of a test to see how much BS I can tolerate before the channel has to get changed.
Tonight, he was talking about the Chris Benoit case. Glenn Beck just "can't understand" why domestic violence victims stay with the people who abuse them. Why didn't she leave her abusive husband to "save her child"?
You know, Glenn, if you're so lacking in understanding, why not educate yourself? Why not talk to victims of domestic violence, both male and female? Why not read some of the massive literature on the condition?
Oh wait, that would interfere with your ability to ask I'm-not-trying-to-throw-the-mother-under-the-bus-but.... questions. Because maybe you would have learned facts like that when an abused person tries to leave their partner, has made the decision to leave, has acted on the decision to leave - that is the moment when they are most in danger.
