Wow, halleluja moment.
I was thinking that, too, in school.. We girls were tought to “self defense”, but what did the boys do? Nothing, or playing around (I don’t know). No one taught them to not be jerks…

So thank you for this letter, I will link to this post =)

Be blessed.

Favorite line: “I was doing everything backwards. I was trying to teach women how not to get abused instead of teaching young men not to abuse.”

I just found this blog and post by way of Shakesville. Thank you very much for writing this. I have passed it on to my husband and brother as well. Men have a responsibility for discussing male violence with other men that is too often ignored. It is so much easier for them to “go along” with what other men say and do rather than confront inappropriate and harmful attitudes and behaviors. Women can’t do all the work. Violence against women IS a men’s issue. Thank you for doing the work.

I will visit this blog often now. Particularly since I see that you are also from my home state of MD.

Thank you again!
