....domestic abuse of your partner is a social 'non-issue'.

Congrats to Hope Solo. !!!!!

was she the one who launched that giant snot rocket or the one who hockered a loogie the size of a small mammal?

Years ago, two gay guys lived a few doors down from me. Every weekend night they would get into it about 2 A.M., about the time the bars closed. The cops would come, break it up, then joke about it being "Just a couple of q****'s fighting." The fights were so frequent no one in the apt. complex paid much attention to them.

One afternoon, a coworker of one of the fellows shows up asking the residents if we'd seen anything of the guy. No one had, but we had noticed the fights had stopped a couple of weeks earlier. The bunch of us figured the two of them had broken up, and were glad for the quiet.

The coworker called the cops, as she could see through the windows that place had been torn apart. They found the guy in a bedroom closet wrapped in a dry cleaning bag secured with duct tape. He'd been dead since roughly the time the fights ceased, according to the medical examiner.

They never found the boyfriend.

snot rocket - no that was Raponie and that definitely wasn't her first, she looked like a pro

It was also her half-sister and her nephew that Solo (allegedly) assaulted, not a "partner"

Oh...so it's even less of a big deal.

Cool.

Cool.

Also, her nephew is 17 years old, stands 6'7" tall, and weighs around 270. But hey...it's EXACTLY the same thing as a man beating his wife, isn't it?

Oh noooooo.... ...you misunderstand. I think it's cool that sex, size, and weight are factored into domestic abuse allegations.

Plus, there's not any recorded history of people being physically abused by those that are smaller in stature. None...zilch....nada..... ...and really we're only talking about an athlete who played goal for a World Cup winning team. ....obviously a complete physical wuss.....

We live in a world of contradictions and irony.

When she walked up to get the golden glove award, I thought it would have been more appropriate if it were a boxing glove.

I believe Hope is married to an NFL player.

My "ex" approached me once with a butcher knife in an agitated state. She is 5'8" and 150# (post separation) and I'm 5'11" and 170#. I would say she found a sense of parity in that encounter which she initiated. I simply removed the knife from her possession and quieted her down. I've never lifted a hand to a woman or someone smaller than me. BTW, she is bi-polar and the major underlying reason for our break-up!

A former NFL TE . And ??

Someone pointed out that in the recent case (where she insulted arresting officers) it was actually against her sister and nephew although her current husband has previously been arrested for domestic violence against Hope ( I believe even the night before their wedding). I believe she refused to cooperate with police AND she asked/told the person who called police to 'quit talking' once they arrived.

Still, when women do batter their husbands it's typical that the man could actually subdue his wife but for any of multiple reasons doesn't (like he's submissive, insecure, or simply refuses to be combative with a woman).

I, therefore, must be submissive, insecure and refuse to be combative with a woman. I will agree to the last point. What I truly am is protective, lay my life down for those I love and will evaluate a situation so that it concludes with the best possible outcome.
