One in five of us think it’s ok for a man to slap his female partner

Why does this not surprise me? you only had to see the mixed responses at singer Chris Brown’s alleged attack on girlfriend Rhianna to see that not everyone is on the same page when it comes to violence towards women…

One in five of us believe it is OK for a man to slap his wife or girlfriend, a shocking survey has revealed.

The study also found that 10 per cent think it is all right to hit a lover who is flirting with another man and half of those questioned think a woman is at least partly to blame for being raped if she does not clearly say ‘no’.

The figures have emerged from a Government survey on domestic violence which was released today to coincide with proposals to warn women if their partner has a history of domestic violence.
