[QUOTE="David Argall, post: 433135, member: 4481"] [b]wife-beating[/b] "The average beaten wife is a wretch living in terror of her husband and would never dream to make his life difficult, especially if society gives her no way out." Actually not. In fact a great many wifebeaters are wimps completely dominated by their wives, and this was more true in the good old days. The key factors in such cases is that both parties feel the husband is the one who should be in charge. But Hubby is a passive sort and/or Wifey is aggressive and she make the decisions, which they both disapprove of. So about every payday, he gets good and liquored up [thus providing an excuse], and then goes home and beats her up, thereby showing who is boss and punishing her for her crime, which is what she deems it as well, as can be seen by the fact she is patiently waiting for him so he can beat her up. Such marriages prove distinctly stable, generally lasting until the kids get old enough to interfere. Oh, on an earlier point, ancient statistics on army size should be taken with several grains of salt. Wholesale exaggeration was the order of the day. [/QUOTE]
