I was in therapy for a year or so (a decade ago) for anxiety issues linked to work. What I liked about my shrink is that he allowed me to ask him questions not directly related to my situation and he would give me straight answers, even if the answers weren’t politically correct. For example, I told him that I suspected some of the women who were victims of domestic violence were not in fact serious about ending the cycle of violence because they often reconciled with the guy who had beaten them up. My shrink said — as if he were relieved to have the chance to speak candidly about the issue — that many battered women engage in “very provocative behavior” and ask for restraining orders they have every intention of inviting their guy to violate.

Indeed. And its just intellectually dishonest to not openly discuss that situations like this do occur. But in the “all or nothing” mind of a liberal, to simply suggest that implies one believes this is always the case.

And all that means is that men and women are more alike than different. Inviting trouble into one’s life is a human condition, its just a fact..although we know how fond of facts the left is.
