The obvious problem here is men. More than testosterone. Men. Men who cannot control their alcohol; men who cannot control their tempers; men who get pissed when they cannot "control their women."
NFL Hall of Famer James Brown had a few words to say about it before the Thursday Night Football game.
Brown says men's "silence is deafening." I guess he means famous men in the limelight and others in the NFL need to speak up? It would help some, but it isn't going to be near-enough to get men to stop beating up on other people. But it could reduce that insane estimate of three women per day being killed, presumably by men.
This is a hyper-violent culture we live in today. Even the dominant religion in this country, Christianity, has built-in issues of violence and domination of women. The rise of science erodes religious belief, further angering those "traditional" males. Talk about a multi-faceted problem.
The issue is really more than "domestic violence," as some call it. It's really more than violence against women. Isn't it really more about violence in general? But we probably won't get to that level of the discussion.
I haven't been silent. Nor have I ever struck a woman. My wife has told me if I ever hit her, it would be the first and last time. (wink wink)
So men, quit hitting your women. They are probably the best thing that ever happened to you!! What the fuck is the matter with you animals?
