G.Pie , I believe this was answered by TVParkdale above, given that it's TV that's had the issue with the asking of this question. Depending on who's asking, and how it's asked and why, I have no problem with the question.
As interesting as this discussion has been, it's way too theoretical for me at this point. I will suggest once more: anyone who is interested in further answers, to ask women who work in the anti-VAW field. Or at the very least, check out the websites of women's shelters. Very often the workers are survivors themselves. And rarely do they come from a top-down "I know what's best for you" perspective. I know of no women's shelter in Toronto and GTA that has this philosophy as a way of working with women.
