Abused and murdered

I was reading through that Latin piece...
Man...
I honestly think that Latin writer latched onto one extreme example that isn't even remotely representative...

I wouldn't go that far. Men are physically stronger, so they tend to be more violent—it's just easier to hit someone weaker, right?
And I also think that woman from the Latin article, who was fighting in bars, drinking, and then defending her husband, isn't exactly a great example. But it still fits—domestic homicides can happen for all sorts of reasons. It doesn't always boil down to hate or jealousy.

What goes through the mind of these men to solve their problems so drastically and permanently? Is it the result of patriarchal upbringing, social failure, fear, low self-esteem, psychological disorders, pure evil, or something else entirely?

It’s a massive societal shift. America is transitioning from a backward North American state into a modern nation. Some people simply can't wrap their heads around it. They're lost in time and space, and that confusion manifests in tragedies like this.

I mean, I also think that woman from the Alphabet forum who was getting into bar fights, drinking heavily, and then supposedly "defending" her husband isn't exactly the best role model. But honestly, it all fits together—domestic murders can happen for all sorts of reasons. It doesn't always have to be about pure hatred or jealousy.

Men are physically violent, while women... they're more psychological....
