In my opinion Domestic Violence is something that is never okay. It does not matter how drunk a person was, how they were acting if you abuse your romantic partner you have committed a crime and you should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
We need to have more support for victims of this abuse to help them recover from this and know that it was wrong. Our culture still sees domestic violence as a private issue, particularly when it comes to emotional and sexual abuse. You must give consent for any sexual activity to occur and you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time you chose. We also have to get across that this is not something that you should ever do and that if it happens to you you need to tell someone and contact police.
If your boyfriend/husband is telling you that you are stupid, or ugly, or a slut or demeans you in any way it is abuse and it is a crime. We need to support victims and incourage them to come forward, to press charges against their abuser and to testify against in court. Abusers never change their ways they just get worse.
If you or someone you know are being abused come forward it could give you back your life and save somelse's. Be a voice for those who can't speak up and for all those for whom it was too late.
