@mekkaokereke this. Also, violence is not always physical. Manipulation and coercive control ARE ABUSE and even if he has never hit you, yes, IT DOES COUNT. 😔 Same goes for sexual assault within relationships. You still have the right to say "no." You always have the right to say "no." Walk away when you see the early signs, if you can, before your life is in danger. The red flags don't lie. 💜, someone who trusted the wrong person instead of her gut

@mekkaokereke This is not true just for women, it is true for everyone my guy.

Ask your local gay where they feel safest. There is only a subset of the population of men that most visibly marginalized groups feel safe around.

I know plenty of straight men that are not even comfortable around the lowest common denominator of men.

@mekkaokereke Violence is always where men are…sadly and not all men. I celebrate kind people no matter their gender. Women are just more nurturing, while both can be violent it’s not normally in a women’s nature. Gun violence in America is mostly by men, not sure of the statistics since many of the studies leave out the gender part but when you look at the break down closer it is in the 95% for mass shootings.
