Disrespectful? Just because a legitimate question was asked about the above story?
OK, what about leaving just the part noting that statistics show 50% of domestic violence is committed by women? Or is someone here in the business of violating first amendment rights AND suppression of established facts?
You can leave out the Gay/AIDS references if you feel this to be absolutely necessary, even though these were valid points.

According to the U.S. Department of Justice, between 1998 and 2002:
* Of the almost 3.5 million violent crimes committed against family members, 49% of these were crimes against spouses.
* 84% of spouse abuse victims were females, and 86% of victims of dating partner abuse at were female.
* Males were 83% of spouse murderers and 75% of dating partner murderers
* 50% of offenders in state prison for spousal abuse had killed their victims. Wives were more likely than husbands to be killed by their spouses: wives were about half of all spouses in the population in 2002, but 81% of all persons killed by their spouse.

I saw a reference to DS Yisrael article about sluts and wimps (?) on a page from Univ of Georgia so I googled you. I really enjoyed this article too. Debunking the myth of Sheen and Lohan is a great point. Seeking fame by being outrageous is not a formula for a rewarding life nor for sound realtionships. Thanks for being available online. Hope you've had lots of readers. And that they have taken your advice.
