So first off, I must commend your candour and direct approach to this topic. Domestic violence is an age long issue, and I'm happy that it's been taken seriously now. Nobody deserves to be abused. In the ending, you made it seem like a gender thing though.
Abuse doesn't know gender. Verbal abuse, physical abuse, psychological abuse, emotional abuse, etc. It can take any form. Prevalent one which we tend to see on the media everytime is the woman getting battered, hence, I do agree with you that it's a societal thing. I do not condone any form of abuse. I have had my fair share of it in my family, and I made it a point of note to stand up against it. Women, men, children, defending the defenceless.
Nigeria has taken big steps in aiding the oppressed and abused, and that's great news. Hoover's books are always something to ponder.
Thanks for sharing with us.
