.. at least as far as the truth goes. The Washington Post has done it again. The author's article ends with the usual appeal to governmental chivalry with:


In fact, the history of profound gender inequality in the government's treatment of wife-beating makes the problem one of core constitutional concern. No less than police brutality, this kind of passive misconduct implicates fundamental civil rights.

Actually it's more the other way 'round really. Has a battered woman ever been made to ride backward on a donkey while crowds threw garbage at her (search on "donkey" to get to the relevant text on the page)?
