There seems to be a rash of women being mistreated by the husbands lately here in Houston. I'm thinking that this idea from India just might help here.
There’s a team of women in India who bring justice to the oppressed women of their country. ‘The Gulabi Gang’ wear pink saris, carry bamboo sticks as weapons, and are trained in counter- aggression techniques, like smearing abusive men with chili powder. If police fail to help an abused woman, the gang steps in and asks the husband to change his ways- but if he won’t, they ask his wife to join them in beating him.
Here locally I'm afraid it would take maybe a gun instead of a stick...and has on several occasions.
Coffee in the kitchen again this morning!
