“These days”, when society is more accepting than ever before in history?
Not sure which rosey days you are looking back to? The days being gay was frowned upon? The days of Sean Connery and his “give em a little slap”? The apartheid days? The World Wars days? Queen Vic? Napolean?
Or in fact, for 99% of human history where people would barely blink twice at a man hitting his missus?
“These days” society is better than ever, but not all people think the same, never have, never will, and society certainly isn’t down the toilet due to that.
Things may have got a bit better but we still have a huge way to go when it comes to all things DV and sexual crimes related.
