"In the 1960's, women told men that in order to get sex, they would have to be kind, understanding and equal. Men very quickly learned to fake kindness, understanding and equality."

Might I point you at my reply to snapesbabe's recent post in her own LJ?

I found the Anon commenter's reply tasteless because domestic violence is common enough that he/she could be a culprit. I'll laugh along with jokes about large-scale tragedies, serial killers and the like because, as you say, it's a way of dealing with the subject, and it's unlikely that any of the people making the jokes would ever take part in those acts.

Also, when it comes to domestic violence, I doubt the aggressors are the sort of people who'll pay any attention to people who mocck them. Having friends say "That's unacceptable" and cut contact until their behaviour changed might, at a pinch, but pointing & laughing is more lkely to make them more aggressive.

Hi Jenny, long time no speak. Nice to hear from you. I hope you are well.

It's a bit off-topic, but I've got a late birthday present in the flat that I still have to post to you (belated payback for all the Lush products). I've tried to email you, but your old email is defunct. Can you drop me a line either at the farm or the flat to let me have an address for postage? Thanks a lot,

Hilary
