This, even though teenage girls commit more domestic violence than teenage boys.

I don't understand why they have to specifically label men as the abusers when they could instead speak out against domestic violence in general.

EDIT: I do.

Isn't it more reasonable to involve all the students and tell them that a message of respect and nonviolence among all your peers, and not just girls/women, is a universal ideal we should all strive towards?

Do men not disrespect one another? Do women not disrespect men? Do women not disrespect other women?

Well I am happy to know that it wasnt abuse I suffered since I am not female. I feel so much better now. I think I will use my voice.

I dont necessarily think they are calling out men as abusers here. That being said, I am not thrilled that they are perpetuating the stereotype that men are supposed to be protectors. Wouldnt it be better to just teach all people to stand up for themselves and protect themselves. For every human right there is a human responsibility. You have the right not to be abused but you have the responsibility to stop it.

Western boys - pussified from the cradle to the grave.
