How would card-carrying feminists and women`s organization react to the domestic violence that Professor Hawking has suffered for over a decade? It should be one or the combination of the following;
1. Professor Hawking made her do it.
2. Patriarchical society made her do it.
3. Men deserve it, simply because they are men.
4. Because Professor Hawking didn`t share half of the housework. If it`s in Spain, he would have been criminally prosecuted under the new law.
5. The abuses that Elain, the (former) wife of professor Hawking suffered when she was a kid, or from her previous marriage made her do it. (The Dailymail can come with one instantly, if necessary.)
6. male-dominated mass media cooked up and perpetuated the story.
And to be followed by screaming for more women-only DV shelter and empowering legislation….
