    doesnt everyone have a capacity for violence? I think you shouldnt judge by capacity but intention and control

    if I am carrying a 2 liter jug of boiling water, I wont spill it intentionally or accidentally on some random person

      I understand your point, but this is not a good comparison. How often do people of any gender get targeted by that? How often do women fall victim to domestic violence because they chose not to judge by capacity and potential but instead they wanted to believe that this time it might be different?

        a bunch of times, but primarily DV cases are not because of capacity or potential, but their background

        they cheated once? theyll cheat again they hit someone once? theyll hit you
