No doubt the mention of homosexuality triggered a heated response and
mindless piling on. I am dubious myself about "latent homosexuality" being
a factor in spousal abuse - whatever the hell it is. I challenge most
anybody to even define what homosexuality is. Up to 50% of males have been
said to have had homosexual experiences. How the hell does one distinguish?
Count?

In our usual ceremonial rituals of opposing adversaries in trials Dutton was
advertised as the antidote to Lenore Walker's whoring of herself out to the
Simpson defense. God, I wished in my own sadistic dreams Lenore Walker
would face cross-examination on her thesis. Walker's own formulation was
self-refuting.
The reality is that Dutton was best able to demolish Dershowitz's sophomoric
aphorism that only a tiny proportion of abusers kill their spouses. The
lumping of all "abusers" together should be an obvious fallacy to those with
the slightest acquaintance with statistics.
Dutton had made a study of those who actually killed a spouse in order to
project the profile of a likely killer.

My guess - underline guess - is that what Dutton is talking about is really
feelings of inadequacy. It is underlined by the inability of a killer like
Simpson to have social intercourse with females rather than a distinct
characteristic. From my own experience male homosexuals as a group seem to
be particular attracted to females as social friends because of the lack of
a threat. I think it is the precise opposite with lesbians/
