You need to chill the fuck out. Ok so the joke was bound to offend someone but it's mildly offensive at best. The notion that "all wives hen peck" is a dumb and outdated generalisation but this woman, at least for me, seems to fit the stereotype.
I saw a rather shrill woman telling her husband saying "tell them about this, tell them about that", "that's not true", interrupting him when he talked and when she did say "let me speak" I 'd say it was purely for the benefit of the camera. This interview along with the earlier written piece do, in my opinion, present a woman with a high degree of control over her husband and probably driving this whole 'thing' with Randy going along for the ride.
But yeah you're right, I was somehow making light of domestic violence FFS
There are so very many layers of bull in what you've just written that I'd need heavy equipment to get through it. Although I'm capable of deconstructing it and demonstrating to you how, in those brief paragraphs, you have supported many evils that stem from entrenched patriarchy, I'm not going to waste my time.
