Wife beating is considered acceptable in certain traditions, as long as you don't hit her in the face.

Murdering people is considered acceptable by Islamic extremists, as long as they are non-believers.

I first would like to say this is a horrible way to treat anybody and hope that Neha Rastogi gets all the support she needs to deal with this situation.

That being said, does even the spousal abuse have to be related to software in Silicon Valley? Just listening to the video was so surreal. Lots of spouses fight over things but what a "bug" is or is not? It's just crazy that this is what came out of Silicon Valley.

Couples mostly fight over inane things. I only read 1/2 the article but it sounds like they're both quite sick. Him a seemingly sociopath (as many CEOs are) and her some kind of dependence disorder (codependence?) . Why in the world would she bail out someone who has abused her? They both need treatment.

The Santa Clara District Attorney simply doesn't get it. I saw a domestic violence case first hand - the husband was arrested, got out on bail, but the DA never filed charges and simply dropped the case because it didn't involve severe damage. For the DA to file charges, they'd have to see a hand or leg broken badly. What they don't understand is the enormous mental pain these women, especially from Asian countries, go through. It's just sad.

Pizza is considered acceptable in some gyms, as long as its keto friendly and covered in chicken breast.

No, she needs help. He needs to get tossed in jail.
