Will 2017 be remembered for the empowered women coming out of the shadows of abuse?

And just a note: good guys do exist. I have been engaged more times than I care to remember but married kinda late and only once. All the others had a chameleon side which gave me pause.

I truly believe that males learn about abuse at home when very young. If the wife is abused she will continue to put up with it until a breaking point. She wont tell her family or her close friends, even if signs of it are visibly showing. And when she does say to herself, "enough is enough", the children are abandoned. Children have an inate ability to turn the circumstances into mom's behavior being their fault.

To counter this I think teaching children what abuse and bullying for that matter is required in our public schools. If we don't stamp it out early in our children, they just grow up thinking this is how you get your way. Whether that be at home or in the workforce where it's covered up their too.

What do you honestly think would happen if the help community actually met in person?

Or, I'd try to combat my nerves by getting seriously drunk, which would result in me talking far too much and bursting into tears of "I love you, why won't you love me?!?"

And then I'd be reminded of why I shouldn't drink in front of anyone except for my parents, and my dog.

You drink in front of your parents...? Like why!? I think I can speak for most of the drinkers here - we drink to forget our parents for like 2,3 hours.

I prefer terra forma. Pretty sure the balls would sink immediately upon impact.

Didn't read all the replies, so this may have been mentioned....
While I do think it is great that these women are coming forward, I have to say that its mostly high profile perps and victims. Its a step in the right direction in that it raises awareness and makes perps think that a victim "might be more likely to use her voice...." but at the present time, I don't see much changing for "regular everyday women..." hopefully the trend will continue and encompass women from all walks of life

This is exactly why I started this post. - changing the current culture where even 'locker room' talk is taboo. But nothing is going to change until we talk about solutions. I've not heard one yet.
