Does Hollywood know reality? As cohabitation and one-night stands become more prevalent and the institution of marriage loses validity, women may believe that their “freedom” gives them more power, but ironically they are endangering themselves and subjecting their children to a vicious cycle of abuse. A 1995 U.S. Department of Justice study showed that women were the victims of more than 4.5 million violent crimes, and intimate partners committed 29 percent of single offender crimes.

The problem is that the free-wheeling life styles being solf by Hollywood, Madison Avenue, by even recent presidents, by Playboy, by Cosmopolitan and so dominent in the psychological environment that people doubt the realities instead of the mistruth being sold to them.
What was that Hollywood movie with Shelley Long and Ryan O'Neal being "divorced" by their daughter, Drew Barrymore? Was it "Irreconciliable Differences?" I loved the scene where the little girl is speaking more Spanish than English because she's being raised by the Mexican maid. That's probably pretty close to reality for Hollywood children.
