Don’t ignore this Tumblr
Yet they still do even when it’s right in their face.
This is literally still a feminist issue. This is literally still a feminist issue.
We literally are trying to get all domestic abuse down. We’re trying to change a culture that says it is ok to hurt any person physically. WE ARE TRYING TO CHANGE THAT ENTIRELY.
since context is everything, let me speculate wildly
maybe the women are laughing because they have been in the first situation far too often, and they are thinking finally, a gal who’s fighting back.
plus, you know, a number like “40%” doesn’t really capture difference in magnitude: i have read more detailed stats, and DV by women tends to be smacks and throwing things, whereas DV by men tends more towards choking i.e. trying to kill
that doesn’t make this a great state of affairs. but parading this around as “feminists only care about women!!” is wildly disingenuous.
