    Thank you for sharing. Someone that abuses their partner almost certainly abuses their children.

    Being in a long term abusive relationship with no help available is much worse.

    Losing your career due to an un-investigated Twitter accusation is much worse.

    You could not elect a woman because Hilary is a Washington insider crook. Try a Tulsi Gabbard type next time and watch all the" hatred "disappear.

    But you are going to form this group correct? If so will there be an online forum for those of us who are, shall we say not ZOOM proficient?

    Some of those high status men worked 80 hour weeks and back stabbed a dozen "friends" along the way. Few men are willing to do those things and even fewer women. Which is a win for the women.
