This is obviously very upsetting. But I’d also like to know what y’all’s answers would be to the question on this meme. This is not something I advocate for I’m going to be transparent about that, I’ve just noticed things like this a lot on the internet and want to gain some perspective.
Nobody should be allowed to hit anybody without consent. And men shouldn’t be afraid of speaking up; abuse of men does happen.
That said, it’s not the primary direction in which abuse happens, so I’m not sure this is a healthy way to highlight the issue.
FIFY. There’s plenty, maybe not complete parity but not that far off, of abuse going in this direction too, it just tends not to result in unaliving people when it escalates. I think it’s important to recognize it so that people feel comfortable to speak up.
