I think your 52% figure, why true, I DON'T KNOW, is a bit like male concern about being raped by a woman. It's a myth. I don't think many residents of domestic violence shelters are men. I suggest we, as men, admit that our gender is the problem here, and stop grasping for straws. ...why do you think the women murder the men ANYWAY??? /\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\ Scott Key XXXXX "Jane, stop this crazy thing!"- G.
