I don't want to overstate this point - but if you read that facebook post carefully, it's actually victim blaming. The hypothetical victim is dead because 'she lacked the courage to leave him'. Nowhere does it call on people to 'not abuse partners' or to 'report abuse'.

I don't see anything sexist about this. It is an individual anecdote, not a generalization, and it implores the reader that everyone can benefit from reading it, not just women.

No no, I think the "not just women" is for people to understand that men can be abused to, "share this with everyone, not just women because most of you fucks think that those are the only people abused." A lot of people wont think about men, thats why she said, not just women.

I had a GF; she described the Lifetime channel as "TV for Victims". She was as much a girly-girl as I've ever met, had a career in women's retail, read People magazine, her dresser was covered in scented this and that, she never left the house looking less than perfect, and her friends were all girly-girls too. Even she refused to fall for the "boo-hoo, women are just helpless victims" crap.

I can't believe there are guys commenting to support this kind of BS.

All they had to do was leave out "Not just women" and it would have been fine.
