And, as always, I think your logic is flawed, Ann, and does a disservice to your genuine concern for the abused. Your logic for this theory is entirely dependant on you ignoring any story with male victims which doesn't fit your preferred theory.

If I were keen - and believe me, I'm not laugh - I could find, in under an hour, a hundred similar stories in which males were the victims.

But I'll leave you with just one. This week, in a tragic story in the UK, a father drove his two young sons to a local beauty spot and brutally stabbed them to death. Not a female victim in sight.

Once again, personally, I'd be much more sympathetic to your viewpoints if your concern stretched to encompass all victims of violence, and not just females.

Aramis: Yes, sorry.
Athos: No, no, by all means, let's keep things suicidal.
