To: SOCGRAD@UCSD.EDU Jetaway's post, which I read immediately after sending mine, helps to make my point (and possibly to create confusion, since his post is not one of the posts I was responding to): the plattitude that violence in the home exceeds violence elsewhere can become blinding to subtleties (as any plattitude can become). Therefore, let's dump the plattitudes, on which sociology has come to be extraordinarily dependent ("blaming the victim", etc., etc.), and actually endeavor to think things through, in all of their subtlety. -steve
