The news article by NBC talks about how these Domestic Violence Prevention Programs do in fact change the way men look at woman, but it doesn’t change their abusive behavior. Domestic violence is built on sexism and the reason for the abuse is primarily social.The article goes on to say that 1/3 women will experience some kind of abuse from their partners in their lifetime.
I gathered from this article that since sexism is the primary cause of domestic abuse we should be just as, if not more concerned about sexism as much as domestic violence. If one effects the other we should be coming at the problems together instead of separately. Thoughts?
