Maine becomes the latest in an alarming number of American states and foreign countries to expand the definition of domestic abuse to include "coercive control".

This article talks about using the right language to ensure that the new definition doesn't "harm the very people it aims to protect". Because it is women's groups who are imposing this new change, you can be sure that "people it aims to protect" means women.

This means that in the near future, if you try to get your wife or girlfriend to stop being irresponsible or insane, or even try to stop them from being verbally or emotionally abusive toward you, you can be charged with domestic abuse.
