Another challenge is how we as a society view non-physical violence like emotional abuse, verbal abuse, gaslighting, and infidelity. Punch a person in the face and it leaves obvious physical markings. Yet cheat on your spouse with their best friend, and coordinate with your spouse's family and friends to gaslight your spouse into believing they're crazy and you're much less likely to be caught. I genuinely believe the psychopaths that live among us have a vested interest in ensuring that psychological abuse is very difficult, if not impossible to prosecute. And I would much rather be punched.
