OK so walking a few steps behind, covered from head to toe is just fine. So is stoning them to death for infidelity or rape. Got it. How about commenting on the OP?

That's an absurd comment, do not generalize. on the contrary most treat them with great respect, Wife, Mother or Sister.
Media only shows the small portion of the truth for the benefit of something,
Like the lie of WMD in IRAQ, they started a WAR
Killed innocent people, with no proof of WMD based on speculation, lack of proof, sums it to bad intentions.
Like 911 they blamed Muslims, Media lies lies and lies till you believe.
Not even the anchor knows what he is saying or why.

But WHY do people kill their spouses? Do most of the women who kill their husbands do so because they've been abused for many years and cannot escape? Self-defense?

I was waiting for the self-defense excuse to rear its stupid head.
Self-defense is not murder. We're talking about murder.
But for all spousal murders, women accounted for more than 40 percent of defendants. And "among black marital partners, wives were just about as likely to kill their husbands as husbands were to kill their wives." Not surprisingly, when it comes to parents who kill their children, mothers kill more often than fathers.
Wives who kill their husbands were acquitted in 12.9 percent of the cases studied, while husbands who kill their wives were acquitted in only 1.4 percent of the cases.
Are you saying that nearly 40% of spousal homicide is justifiable?
The problems of spousal abuse and violence are far too serious to be turned into divisive "we versus them" political or gender issues.

I know. I just got off on a little rant there. I apologize for that.
It just seems to me that every election cycle we get fed a heaping dose of "vote for us because the other guys are worse." But nothing changes, least of all the important things. Neither side ever runs on "Look what we've done! And here's exactly what we're going to do. NO LIE!"
Roe v. Wade and the Civil Rights Act have less chance of being overturned than the Patriot Act or the NDAA. It's all just talking points given to us by the MSM to distract us from the real issues we should be talking about.

Do you think that I thought that little argument was going to win the abortion debate?
Seriously?
I wonder what the statistics are for abortions, what that would look like in the graph?
How about suicides
Maybe its just a war on people

Women are subject to far more abuse and that may account for the retaliation.
Just look at how the average woman is portrayed in the media, sex toys.
I understand your point and agree with it, as a man, respecting women isnt something that we are taught as children or adults. Probably worth a little more investigation.
