[quote=Anonymous]It also depends on what is involved and the social context. Remember all those old movies where the woman slaps the cheating cad? (Or throws her wine in his face?). Doesn’t make her an “abuser.” Similarly, the occasionally frustrated shaking of someone’s shoulder etc. doesn’t make someone an abuser. Abuse is not occasional minor physically expressions of frustration—in many cultures that is normal for both men and women. Abuse is when there is either a severe incident that inflicts or could inflict serious physical harm or repeated incidents (even if non-physical) involving behavior that causes a reasonable person to feel fearful or threatened with serious harm. This is not to excuse even the more “minor” stuff but just to say that I think the more minor stuff can be relatively easily overcome, whereas serious or repeated physical brutality and threats is a lot tougher.[/quote]
