Women who killed husbands ‘rarely gave a warning,’ and most weren’t abused,

"Prof. Dutton, author of the book Rethinking Domestic Violence, suggested that such assumptions evolved from the feminist view that family violence was a socio-political act of “patriarchal men suppressing women.” He argues instead that personality disorders in both male and female offenders better explain family violence than do social norms."

I'm quite shocked to hear that recognised personality disorders explain people's behaviour far more than a magical "patriarchy field" sustained by fairies which empowers men and suppresses women.

It shows previous domestic violence at 26.2% and no previous* history at 21.4%

The rest is unknown and makes up 40.5%

I'm not saying either is right but the articles assumption is false, that's for sure. The data would be classified as inconclusive.

They're just jumping to conclusions. The data isn't there to support either.

80% of the 738 spousal killings in Canada between 2000 and 2009 were committed by men,

Makes the headline somewhat void.

However 42.1% of Female spousal killings by women have psychiatric/pathological motives motives and 44.7% could not be determined gives a total new meaning to the "crazy bitch" red flag when dating.

According to the leading Feminist theories, men are to blame for everything. Hence, if they weren't able to find abuse, they didn't look deep enough. If they can close out husband being abusive, in the end, it could've been the general abusive atmosphere caused by the patriarchy. </s>

I guess they include poison in the "other" category? I suspect that this is a method that is frequently employed and rarely detected. I have read about several cases where women have poisoned multiple husbands and were only arrested after doing something dumb that made authorities suspicious.

We used to think kids were changlings, but it's actually the women... One day they snap and kill you.

mcSibiss · 2012-10-03T17:58:00+00:00

but... but... Women are supposed to only be victims. This must be wrong. No woman has ever done anything that the man didn't deserve! /s
