Women; have you been a victim of abusive men?

@bijouxbroussard "but I also paid attention to red flags early on"

I don't think that's necessary to include

@Notsimilarreally Why not ? It’s pretty important. People often ignore clear warning signs.

@bijouxbroussard it basically sounds like you're telling women who have almost died at the hands of men or lived nightmares at the hands of fucked up men that they ignored the signs.

@Notsimilarreally In some cases it’s true, unfortunately. I lost a colleague who got involved with someone knowing he beat his former wife. I suppose she thought things would be different with her. She was right, he killed her. 😞

@bijouxbroussard yeah but for women who've been made to believe they're always at fault, and who didn't ignore or miss signs but ended up in the situation anyway, that could just be a triggering thing to read and spark some bad feelings. If you don't care about that though ok I see how it is.

@Notsimilarreally I relayed my experiences, nobody else’s. You agreed with the poster who was generalizing about "all women”and apparently thinks all women are just trying to get attention. That’s unfair.
