I'm not coming into the cods' mouthy provocation. Like this:
Quote:and from what we read the female.... is usually far from being provocative its the last thing she would do to get a beating..
Problem with that is that there are many people out there who reckon they can be as verbally abusive as they like, and there will be no response of one kind or another. It is human nature to push envelopes, and sometimes ~ tough tit ~ you come second.
As for your comment about Ladies in Refugees showing signs...well, I have no doubt they do. As a Cabbie, I often pick them up from the Refuge for some reason or other, and I have never ever had
one in the Cab who was not a grub Mother yelling abuse at her kids for one reason or an other before, or during or immediately after the journey.
Further, all you are hearing is their (probably) embellished version.
Next time you are at the Refuge, ask the Managers how often and why they eject Women who are there.
Cods...some facts.
1. The addresses of refuges are kept secret. Even cab drivers are not allowed to know where they are. Also, refuges have their own cars to transport their residents to and from. Cabs are not used.
2. You are spot on about the incidence of no provocation.
3. The Managers of the few refuges which are around, eject women manly because they have many more waiting on their urgent lists. Lack of funding is a critical issue.
This needs to change.
Those women who are lucky to get into a refuge, can only stay for a set period of time.
This needs to change.
