Le féminisme nous a ouvert les yeux sur la violence conjugale. Il a contribué et continue de contribuer à l'évolution positive de notre société. Certaines féministes, par contre, n'ont ouvert qu'un seul oeil sur cette violence: celle faite aux femmes. Elles ont délibérément fermé l'autre oeil, celui qui devrait être ouvert sur la violence faite aux hommes.
