But sure, I guess you can insist on a specific definition from that particular definition if you feel the need to make that distinction to the exclusion of certain types of violence you personally don't think are as severe. I'll say it again: that distinction is without a meaningful difference. Might be meaningful to you, but not to victims of abuse.
Whatever, agree to disagree then. You're not going to convince me that someone who once shoved his wife in an argument-or "attacked her verbally"-is a "wife beater".

If I knew someone had shoved their wife violently I'd have a hard time seeing them in any other way.
