Thats interesting..
Because those are relatively rare examples.
If I could add another one to the mix.. My parents were violent. My Mum was violent to me. So was my husband, and so was my ex boyfriend. They really only have to raise their hand once. Then you're terrified on a gut level that you'll get a clump round the head, so your behaviour modifies itself, almost without you being aware of it.
I find it interesting that most men don't feel that. At least until it happens to them. I also find it interesting that the last example was (at this distance) obviously ill, and yet she was "asking for it" somehow.. Makes me wonder whether I was...

Thanks for reading, I'll go and find some crude sexist gags now...

My point was
that these are not relatively rare examples here, they have been found commonplace.....the results of the study just didn't met the needs of those who ordered it out so it has not been widely publicised.
