Such a moving speech in the House of Commons yesterday -
it made me realise how lucky I and those of us are who have not experienced this.
And how grateful I am for three loving SILs .

Perhaps aggressors need to maintain more personal space, therefore become forceful- ?

Sometimes strong disagreements on a subject can be productive. After all, complex topics like this have no single answer. Each person has something personal to add and feels strongly about it. So the more views the better, if you want to get to the truth.
I've just been listening to a talk about heated discussions and thought this was a very good point.
I wish I'd heard it before getting all worked up about redheads.
