SD, I think you are smart and perceptive.  Of course educated woman should be less susceptible to making the choices that lead to domestic violence.  Yes, the violent stranger on the street can hurt any of us.  But, an educated woman should have learned and had access to the information necessary to make informed choices relative to appropriate and productive responses when faced with potential violence.   

If you care about women, you must grant them personal responsibility and accountability as those attributes are the only ones that can end abuse.
