Just imagine the exact same situation but with the genders reversed!

Almost every day in Brown's Battered Britain that harridan Batty Hatty Harm-a-Man is bleating on and on and on about the need for full and unconditional sexual equality - here in Brown's Battered Britain anyway. Yeah, right......

I think the same can be said of men who are in abusive relationships, which range from verbal abuse and belittling, to more subtle abuse (verging on brainwashing) and even physical abuse.

Sometimes it is only once you are out of such a relationship, you can look back with clear vision and think 'how the hell didnt I see it' or 'why the hell didnt I get out sooner'.

It's not easy for either gender in such situations.
