That’s why domestic violence is so high in New Zealand. Rather than dealing with your feelings in a healthy way, it is okay to vent them against someone you see as lower than you on the pecking order. With a rant, you release your feelings by abusing someone else, and that is not okay. Bullying is just normal behaviour that s excused, when it is directed against women politicians.
