The original headline of the piece placed the onus on women and mothers in domestic violence situations, calling for them to stop taking lovers and marry their baby daddies...The authors claim that marriage tames men, the implication being that because men are less likely to abuse their biological children, women should lock down that engagement ring...The piece acknowledges that there are married men and biological fathers who do abuse their wives and children, but focuses on how unmarried women can -- and should -- take themselves out of danger by getting hitched. The authors do not investigate other factors that may make never-married women more likely to be victims of domestic violence, like poverty and fear of homelessness. Instead, they tie womens safety to marriage without mentioning other economic or social factors. - The Huffington Post on a article posted today by Washington Post (cc #NotBuyingIt) Whats your take?
