Domestic violence is over rated.

It is overrated but not in that way. What's ridiculous is nowadays a little shove, throwing stuff or simply yelling too loud means jail. Fuck that shit.

well, I guess the first thing wrong with your post is that you're implying that domestic violence can only be a man against a woman when, in reality, domestic violence can be someone of any gender against a partner of any gender. nobody deserves to be hit or kicked or shoved or anything like that, and love shouldn't hurt - and that's what relationships are about, right? love? if it hurts, it's not love, it's abuse and, like I said, anyone can abuse anyone else. I don't really understand the term "over-rated" in reference to this post, but, if you're saying too many people are talking about it, you couldn't be more wrong. we need to be thinking about and talking about and taking the stigma away from this issue, so survivors feel safe and empowered, and resources are readily available for them, and so we can change the cultural narrative that allows people to do these things for other people. the idea that most people make it up for attention erases the real, lived experiences of surivors of domestic violence and keeps them from being able to reach out, share their stories, and find support and resources, and that's just not cool.

also, about your opinion of women; I know I probably can't change your mind, but i'll just leave this here for other people to read and feel good about, like maybe they're not as alone as they thought, because I know I personally always feel alone when I read stuff like that: women are capable of so much more than just "serving men" and "bearing children". for one thing, not only women can have children, and not all women can have children, like women who have fertility issues, for example. women are people too, and have as wide a range of capabilities and things to share with the rest of the world as everyone else does. someone's worth should not be determined by what sex they're designated at birth, nor their ability to bear children. the human race is vast and diverse; there's wide diversity inside of every identity. embrace it!

The problem with domestic violence is that the truth is not being told. Feminists have controlled the narrative for decades, portraying it as solely male-on-female when nothing could be further from the truth. Women are nearly as likely to abuse their male domestic partner as men are to abuse women and it's been shown that lesbians are more abusive to their partners than men.

T'ai chi practicing.
