Research on domestic violence cannot be conducted through online 'questionaires', that too those worded in a way that displays ignorance of social science and lack of any familiarity with the women's movement, rather couched in the language of patriarchal tradition. Green Youth should not give credence to such patriarchal 'common sense' masquerading as 'research.' Kavita Krishnan, AIPWA
