>>>>>Which gives rise to the next question: WHY WERE THEY THERE?<<<<<

Because they were brought up in abusive households, for the most part, and believe that they have no other choice.

Because they've got little children and no job and nowhere to go. Home to mommy and daddy is out of the question, or worse.

Because they were brought up to think that they deserve it.

Because they believe that crap about "Love hurts" or "He hit me - and it felt like a kiss" or "Bad, bad, bad, bad boys make me feel so good."

Because even men like you make jokes about women being stupid and not deserving the vote, and they don't think they can do better, and they aren't strong enough to do without.
