This is what Ive realized in these past few years... Domestic Violence is thing we say we despise, but the truth of the matter is that we are really a-okay with it, because as a society, we care more about jamming to this minutes newest poppin song (Chris Brown) and watching our *favorite* pastime (Ray Rice and all the other domestic violence stories that have come out of the NFL) than ACTUALLY caring about women. In fact, we care about DOGS (& I say that with a deep love for them) INFINITELY more than we care about women. Think Michael Vick and the OUTRAGE that followed his case about animal abuse - so much so that Michael Vick was suspended by the NFL, was ordered to pay the Atlanta Falcons back a portion of his earnings, and lost endorsement deals worth millions more. Oh & also keep in mind that there are 1,500 shelters for battered women in the United States whereas there are 3,800 animal shelters. Beyond over all of it...
