A question about potentially abusive men... [View all]
Why is it that the wrong bumper sticker can get one fired, a bad word on Facebook can leave you friendless, a statue can draw the ire of an entire town, the wrong neighborhood can leave you without access to friends from the "other side of the tracks"...
But women (men too) FREQUENTLY find themselves in abusive and potentially abusive relationships with class A Assholes with both families knowing about the issues and it's met with acceptance or at least apathy.
Why no real social condemnation of abusers?
