- Battering is rare. Only some
people experience it.
- Men who batter are very mean, scuzzy, and “skid row” types. They hate everybody.
- Battered women are always uneducated, “lower class” or working class, or
poor. Battered women are from
minority groups, who don’t know any better.
- Battered women always look beat up.
They look abused and assaulted.
You can always tell who they are.
