Concerning the statement made above (ie "...this article sends a message to feminists of the US that the DV gig is up..."):             Definitions and debates with sources etc, as many people have commented clearly before me, are desperately needed.  Personal opinions are irrelevant to a factual explanation of the topic.  And by the way, women are clearly on the verge of taking over the world since they enjoy better employment, less responsibility, higher self-esteem, and higher pay to name a few (clarification: entirely sarcastic, but I'll keep my eyes peeled for the conspiracy of the US feminist control of earth and their rampant court manipulation).
