No rush. It's not like I'm trying to give you stuff to do and say I need it immediately. ;-) You either think thing through and/or express them better than I do.
Well, if victims of domestic violence don't have the right to defend themselves than I'd say that violence by women isn't considered acceptable as self-defense. Or perhaps it's only okay when women defend themselves against strangers.
Ah yes, men are allowed to be angry, women depressed. Actually my therapist tells me that anger covers a deeper wound, a hurt, a sadness.
Diffused responsibility. Interesting concept. No one is responsible if the group is. That reminds me of Emperor Norton who once dispersed a mob by reciting the Lord's Prayer over and over again. This would have been around the time of the Civil War (if I have the time right). One man, invoking what would have been an agreed upon "higher authority" at the time to take on a crowd.
