I reckon more awareness is being created. I walked the 94.2 Sisters with Blisters on Saturday and there were more than 5000 people who took part… and there were so many men! It might be a slow process but we are getting there….

What people don’t understand is that an abused woman seldom leaves her abusive partner. From experience I know that you don’t always see the wrong in such a situation because you start to believe you deserve it.

Parents should not only teach their sons how to respect a woman… they need to teach their daughters that they need to respect themselves enough not to allow this to happen.

Great post. One of the best that I’ve read so far on this subject.
I read that article that Sam wrote and was in tears with those comments. I felt so, so sad when I read them.
For me, personally it starts in the home with what our expectations are in terms of what we tolerate from our spouses/partners and what we teach our sons. For me it boils down to one thing that I am working on in terms of raising my boys. That one thing is emotional intellingence. I think that if we get this particular aspect right then everything else will start falling into place.
I am not sure if my comment is clear and I really don’t know how to say it better.
