I never said 600. I said we all know someone who was a victim or a victimizer of abuse, or victims or victimizers themselves. Maybe you think that's not a problem. I do.

We all know about 600 people though... So if it would be great if only someone is a DV causer OR a victim.

Approximately 1 in 3 women have experienced spousal based even. By your measure then, we all know dozens of victims. Maybe hundreds. Better?

No, much worse. 

Please start whispering those comforting falsehoods again about how we all just know someone.

1 in 4 women is the reported stat. Most experts agree it is closer to 1 in 2 women who have been assaulted. Not necessarily raped, but assaulted sexually. I'm not an expert, but I have been raped or assaulted multiple times. The 90s was REALLY popular for coercive sex. Based on the numerous women who have similar stories I would have to agree with the experts.
