I think, when you look at the stats, she's probably right....she IS lucky.

estimates put abuse (any type) at close to 1 in 5 women....

if you look at women under 25, it's even scarier....the highest rate of spousal homicide occurs in women under 25....1 in 5 girls in high school report having been physically/sexually abused by a date/friend.

And they estimate perhaps only 50% of sexual assaults get reported...dunno what the stats are on other types of abuse-how many door jambs take the rap for a black eye?


30% of womens' murders are committed by and S.O. 75% of rapes and most stalking incidents....were these all 'choices'???

I think not....I'd say she's lucky....
