Is that, is that fair to say?

Well, I think it's not just Washington because it's spreading across the United States, and there's these special interest groups that are really pushing a different definition of domestic violence.
4:22
So actually, it starts at the top.
4:25
So, like, the DOJ right now has a very, very expansive definition of domestic violence, such as, like, emotional abuse.
4:33
They classify this as undermining an individual's sel- sense of self-worth and self-esteem, and that is considered abusive.
4:42
So what is spreading right now is called coercive control, and what it means is basically you interfere with somebody's liberty and will, or in effect they basically feel that you have interfered with their free will and liberty.
4:59
So this could be financial control, but that could be, like, your spouse is spending too much, and so you cut off their credit cards and start doing single accounts, and that can be considered financial control.
