Ugh

I have a term paper due tomorrow so I am busy writing that instead of entertaining you all. Sorry!

The paper is on how women who defend themselves from violent partners are punished by the criminal justice system. Some horrifying facts i have learned so far:

One third of female murder victims are murdered by their partners.

One in four men has been violent with a partner

Two thirds of women who are attacked are attacked by a partner- not a stranger in a dark alley somewhere.
