Whether or not the journalist used the term "domestic violence", it's clear she didn't write the article to try to make us feel sorry for her. Personally, I think murder goes well BEYOND domestic violence, and I don't have a problem with how the story was told.

that depends on how far one wants the blanket term of demestic violence to be used. at what piont does something become or cease to be domestic violence. it's all very confusing

I once read a feminist use the term "legal violence", apparently using the word "violence" to mean "abuse" (which it can, according to dictionary.com). I think they like being ambiguous. Most people think of physical violence when they hear the term "domest violence." But to feminists, it probably means "domestic abuse", which would cover neglect, emotional abuse, financial abuse, and all this other stuff they complain about.

For what it's worth the domestic violence industry trains police and judges to see everything from the most atrocious murder to merely scarring a women as domestic violence. They even classify emotional distress to a woman by a man as domestic violence. It all helps to get the domestic violence industry more statistics and more money.
Likewise, it is not in the domestic violence industries interest to classify any violence against a male by a female as domestic violence - same reasons (desire for power and control snd money by the domestic violence industry).

I understand that completely; I just don't think this reporter is part of that hypocritical conspiracy.

She may have committed an error of omission by not referring to this as domestic violence, but I don't believe that. Even if she had called this murder domestic violence, I believe her editor would probably still have yanked that term out. That then would have been an error of commission, and I believe that is what we truly are looking at.
I believe that their is wide spread systematic bias against male victims of domestic violence at this newspaper, and most other major media outlets. I believe that this newspaper and most other media outlets do not allow violent acts of domestic violence against men to be called domestic violence.
The existence, or acceptance of this kind of bias in the media hurts male victims of domestic violence, and in my opinion, supports the rampant sexist corruption that exists in the domestic violence industry. I believe this kind of bias is complicit in allowing the domestic violence industry to prosper and get more money by under reporting male victims of domestic violence. Furthermore, I believe this kind of denial of male victims of domestic violence is a form of emotional battery against all males, but especially male victims of domestic violence.
In my opinion, the reporter and her paper are despicable and dishonest in the double standard of reporting that they employ when it comes to domestic violence in our society.
Sincerely, Ray Blumhorst

This story reminds me of that movie, where the wife kills her husband by poisoning him with Oleander.
