You have got to be kidding! On the day I tweet about what a great columnist Sonia Poulton at the Daily Mail is (I really admire the way she raises awareness of many social issues), Carol Sarler writes an article IN THE SAME PUBLICATION endorsing men who hit women if they, seemingly, ‘ask for it’.
Just to clarify, there is no excuse for any violence in interpersonal relationships (or any relationship for that matter). The occasional slap is extremely damaging, usually part of a wider pattern of coercive control in which the woman lives in constant fear of the next outburst.
