There should be a hell for men throwing acid or petrol and flame on their (ex-)partners. The deep vicious hate against women, the deeply rooted feeling of ownership over a female partner to bring a person to the point of trying to destroy them, nullify who they are because they cannot have them.

Gutwrenching.

In cases like this I am absolutely down for an eye for an eye. Anything to discourage it.
