Okay, I'll admit it, reading this made me very sad. A recent series of studies published in the journal Personal Relationships found (among other things) that men who give flowers are also more likely to be abusers. It's true that I generally regard flowers as an empty cop-out gift for people without any imagination, but at the same time it's really depressing to think that something as silly and innocent as flower-giving could be an indicator of domestic abuse.
