  • I see, @OzzyUK taught me this. Remove the 'm.' while in mobile and use the globe for link and it should appear as such. I also removed the #/ because that was interfering, and I was correct.

  • It makes me think of this:

    Which is infinitely more entertaining.

  • Don't get me wrong, it's a cute video and definitely implies a nice message, but it doesn't really say anything about domestic violence as a whole. We already live in a world, in western cultures at least, where a man's punishment for hitting a woman (even in self-defense) is harsh while women who hit men get off the hook relatively scot-free. Thankfully, kids nowadays are being taught that violence towards anyone regardless of gender is wrong, but I bet if the roles were reversed and an older woman was given the opportunity to slap a man without worrying about being hit back, she would take it.

    Another problem I have is that these kids are being taught that not hitting girls implies "manliness", because they are something beautiful and frail that require protection. It isn't a matter of frailty, it's about basic respect for other people. Choosing not to hit a woman does not prove that you are more of a man than someone who does hit women.

    Wrong answer: "girls shouldn't be hit."

    Right answer: "Because Jesus doesn't want us to hit others." "I don't want to hurt her." and "Because I'm against violence."
