Do You watch this television program? If so what are your comments on it?
Advocates for battered women would like Oxygen to cancel a true-crime series about women who kill their men. They call "Snapped" offensive and say it hurts the cause of women behind bars, most of whom are imprisoned for defending themselves.

I like this show and I watch it all the time. I am a victim of abuse, and I am now an advocate for abused women and children. However, only about 25% of the women on snapped killed in self defense, and the other 75% or just killers trying to get away with it shouting they were abused. It is women like them that make it hard for women like me to be taken seriouly.

I watch the show. More often then I care to admit, actually. I love their marathons on Sundays. I don't think it's all about abused women. Many were just greedy or jealous. You can't just kill someone for those thing and suddenly claim they beat you.

i can see their point. i had 2 abusive marriages before i found a great guy. sometimes i watch it tho and feel bad they got caught if its a gal thats been abused. 
sorry i think dummy why'd she do this or that, but some have good hubbies and i think sock it to her. she just wanted money
