The term comes from the sunglasses a beaten wife would wear to hide her black eyes. Most take this term lightly and see it as no more than [[black humour]]. No groups are yet to take offense to the term. There are reported cases of young people, both male and female shopping for "my husband beats me sunglasses" and using that term to describe what they want to retail staff. | ||
