Violence; does it work?

[Leanne]

i often think verbal and emotional violence are worse than the punch, kick, or slap though they do all tend to happen at once in cases of wife beating etc. i also think there's a social violence that society as whole employs, racism, bigotry, child labour etc, much of it going unnoticed or at the very least ignored.

Absolutely. I always said I wished my ex had physically beaten me, so people would see the bruises.
