Former “Alas” blogger Bean is interviewed by Amanda Marcotte (of “Pandagon”) in this week’s edition of Amanda’s weekly podcast at RH Reality Check. Bean discusses the myths and realities of domestic violence and barriers facing American abuse survivors abroad.

I completely loved this interview. The most interesting thing I learned was that many female abusers are co-abusers.
I wonder if it should be “American Abuse Survivors Abroad” instead of “American Women Abroad?” It seemed to me that Bean was very definitive that while abuse was a gendered phenomenon, a percentage of abuse victims are male.
