If it’s an immediately dangerous situation, the call-takers will tell you to hang up and call 911. The hotline primarily exists to provide support and information to victims and their families/friends. They help with safety planning and finding local resources, and they just listen to people talk about their…

Do you legitimately not understand the comparison being made in the quote? That:

There was one vine skit going around recently where a guy violently grabs his “girlfriend” and throws her down screaming at her how he’s waited all his life for a perfect girl like her and where has she been. Many people were liking it and sending it around social media. I did not find it humorous one bit. I got that…

Kindly don’t tell women to not be occasionally be afraid of men when the vast majority of women on this site alone could give you a story confirming why they're right to occasionally be afraid of men.

You seem to be deliberately misunderstanding the quote. Fear and wariness don’t equate to avoiding; they’re simply what we are often thinking of. It speaks more to the culture and pattern of male violence. It’s in the back of our heads, because of things like this. That’s what the quote is about. The fact that you’re…

Sure, that’s true, your chances of actually getting murdered by a man aren’t really high, but your chances of being brutalized by one are. It isn’t only about death.

I’m not a lady. Nor a woman, even.

It’s not a generalization, it’s statistics.

So true. I dated a man last year for a few weeks. When i broke it off, he threatened over and over to send a a sex tape he had made of me (without my knowledge) to my clients, sent me 274 horrible emails calling me useless, fat, ugly, waste of space etc etc.., contacted current clients to tell them I was incompetent,…

and for good measure:

If you think I’m “generalizing from this one incident,” I’d invite you to get your head out of the sand and look around. This is literally a daily occurrence.

Then don’t engage me. I’ve no desire to bother you.

I like to think that with a trauma as great as having your entire body put on fire you’d go into some sort of shock that precludes pain. God, I hope so.

Any suggestions for implementing meaningful change would be more than welcome, I’d guess.

I don’t know you, you don’t know me. This is a public board, not your Facebook or Instagram or whatever. I’m not attacking you personally. I’m attacking your words as they apply to a particular story or subject on the board.

The original Italian article mentions that she left him because he hit her (well, they call it “a violent incident that disturbed her, though she chose not to denounce him, possibly because she was concerned that it would cost him his job”).

He hunted this woman down. She tried to get away but he kept coming after her. All of this happened because he couldn't accept she didn't want to be with him anymore.

Yet the Republicans won’t sign a Violence Against Women Act or prevent domestic abusers from easy access to guns. In India abusive men throw acid in women’s faces. This is real, people. Needs to stop.

This is horrible. That poor young woman. Her poor family. I hope this man goes to prison for a very, very long time.

I have never felt pain like the one time I burned my FINGER. This is absolutely heinous and vile.
