Do you think domestic violence is ever the victim's fault?

Asked by nikipedia (28072points) January 1st, 2012

A well-known blogger recently posted that she should not leave her physically abusive husband, because if she takes responsibility for her own behavior and doesn’t provoke him, maybe he’ll stop hitting her.

She also argues that some domestic violence is ok, and a zero tolerance policy is wrong.

Does anyone agree with her?
