Some years ago I guy a knew was getting divorced from his 2nd wife and had just come back from deposing his wife’s “expert” on domestic abuse. (This guy was not Mr. Sweetness and Light and enoyed getting a rise out of people whenever he could.) But the expert claimed that abuse occurred when the guy grabbed his wife’s hand to keep her from clobbering him with the lamp she was swinging at his head! Why? Because, according to this expert, abuse occurs any time a man interferes with the exercise of a woman’s will.
