I don’t think my interpretation was uncharitable; I think TimS indicated that reducing social acceptance/increasing social stigma for male-on-female violence would result in less violence, and if this didn’t work, his model would be challenged. (Or are you saying I was being uncharitably read? Having reread my comment; my point wasn’t very explicit at all, and kind of begged for an uncharitable reading. So I don’t hold the uncharitable reading against anybody.)
(Incidentally, don’t worry too much about the upvotes/downvotes in this post, they’re not necessarily indicative of the reasonableness of your position. There are definitely people who have very firmly taken sides, and are upvoting/downvoting anything they perceive to be on or supportive of the opposing side. Environmental hazard of touchy social issues, not much you can do.)
