ORIGINAL: LillyBoPeep Kinky triggers and snickers are one thing -- thinking someone's a fool for attempting to approach you about domestic violence is another... I know a couple who is into violence in their relationship. Punching, slapping, throwing her around like a rag doll. And she begs for this. Its their kink. It upsets me to watch, but its still their kink. She knows just one word to me and I would have her out of there. But as long as she is happy.... and she is very, very happy... then its not my place to interfere. Dont know a single woman of domestic violence who can say they are happy with their situations. I can relate to that. I like physical violence, too. I like being punched, slapped, choked, thrown around, whatever. But consensual physical violence and nonconsensual "domestic violence" are two different things -- even if they may look exactly the same, the behind-the-scenes stuff is what makes the difference. Plus, you know -- I know someone who loves me isn't out to kill me, and some DV victims have no idea if today's beating will be the last one and if tonight will be their last night PERIOD. They are two entirely different things, and I'm just baffled that the OP would even think to equate them. It screams "lack of empathy" and "lack of reality." My favorite aunt was a victim of DV. Her "boyfriend" pulled her hair out of her scalp, bruised and bloodied her all over, he even hung her dog by his collar and almost killed him in order to torment her. The day he came to our house to get her was the day I was most glad that my relatives had a stockpile of guns. Domestic violence isn't fun, it isn't hot, it isn't good in any way. It's nothing at all like consensual BDSM. If all you can think when you see a "stop violence against women" sign is "well, i like being 'abused'" -- i mean, puh-LEASE, it's not abuse anyway -- then you need a reality check. big time.
