I read that the case of Rihanna who was allegedly beaten up by boyfriend Chris Brown has served a call to women to pick up some sort of self-defense. I have to say that this is easier said than done. My aunt was a victim of domestic abuse and she would be slammed left, right and centre by her husband almost daily. Police reports made no difference except that they made him even madder.
People say that if a man raises his hand once, he will do it again. It is also said that certain women like to attract guys who are women beaters. I don't know how true this is because as far as I could tell, after my aunt's divorce, her other partners did not beat her up.
However, I do know that my ex-uncle continued to beat his new partner but because they were not married and have no children together, the woman just upped and left one day while he was at work.
I feel that taking up self-defense, while useful, wouldn’t work when the person who beats you up is a crazed man, so many times bigger and stronger.
