Hello everyone, This will take only a minutes of your time, and can make a huge difference for those women in need if the Congress funds the support program. I know that this board is more male-dominant, and I'm sure that many of you don't like violence against women as well. Here is the link: www.lifetimetv.com/endviolence/signthepetition/Lots of celebs have signed, too! Thank you all so very much!!  |

Does rough sex count as violence?  |

Ha ~ funny!! No, it doesn't, as long as both parties enjoy it. On the serious note, some of the listed things below DO count: # Calls you names, insults you or continually criticizes you # Does not trust you and acts jealous or possessive # Tries to isolate you from family or friends # Monitors where you go, who you call and who you spend time with # Does not want you to work # Controls finances or refuses to share money # Punishes you by withholding affection # Expects you to ask permission # Threatens to hurt you, your children, your family or your pets # Humiliates you in any way *** these are emotional abuse. the link has more info on what physical ones are.

I didn't post this to offend anybody, seriously. The link was originally e-mailed to me from Lifetime TV's website, which I subscribe to. And I believe it to be something worth supporting, especially when I used to be in that situation. I understand that this is a wrestling board, but this section is an off-topic section, right? I just hope that I didn't violate any rules by posting this here. Thanks.

Damn, that list I could apply to nearly every girlfriend I've ever had.
Seriously though, it's a necessary cause. Can't believe we haven't moved on in this respect over the years. I'll sign it no sweat.
EDIT: Damn! Tried. No joy. Apparently only United Statians can sign it.

I tell you what. I'll be a hermit. That way I can't hurt any women.
