I'll probably get a lot of heat in here for saying my honest opinion on this very controverial issue but here's my take. I tend to look at Child Abuse(in general) a little worse than Domestic Violence. My reason for is that typically, children(of both genders) are the least capable of defending themselves from abuse, just behind the average woman(in terms of capability). I've also witnessed a few cases at a park in my area where people will ignore a child running from an aggresive adult(who may look like just a parent disciplining their children but may be very abusive at home for all we know) but they will more than likely help a woman if they see something wrong between her and her partner.
There, I stated my take on it(to your question at the very end of your previous response). If you have harsh words to say about why I look at this issue this way, then go ahead. It's not going to get us anywhere.
It scares me that in this day and age people still have these fucked up opinions.
At this point I can't argue with you any longer, every time I read one of your posts I feel my IQ decrease a little.
