The media: Men need to realize that it’s never ok to hit a woman.

Me: People need to realize that it’s never ok to hit PEOPLE… UNLESS one is under attack or defending an otherwise defenseless person (which includes men and women, on BOTH sides).

Fact: More men are abused by women, than vice versa regarding both physical and psychological abuse. 40% of all “severe physical abuse” was directed at men. Sources: Center for Disease Control and Dept. of Justice.

The media: Athletes need to realize..

Me: No. PEOPLE need to realize..

People need to realize that this isn’t about gender (or racial or socioeconomic) politics; this is about treating other human beings respectfully. One and all. To and fro. The “strong” and “weak” can each play a part.
