Equality

There's a new campaign to stop teenage girls being beaten up by their teenage boyfriends after a report came out saying 25% of teenage girls are victims of violence.

It sucks!

Ok, trying to phrase this carefully so you don't end up feeling like I've snarled at you.

Totally understand why you posted it, totally agree with the sentiment...but...as an abuse survivor finding it on my LJ just gave me a very unpleasant couple of minutes to say the least and I'm really pretty good at dealing with that kind of thing. Maybe pop it behind a cut with a small warning? 'Cause I'm probably not the only person on your F-list who's been there...

Love and respect to you, as always. Thank you for being both open, direct and honest

I'd never want to unfriend you ;) and certainly not over a difference of style on how to present an emotive and important issue like this

yeps - totally with you on the lack of blue ribbons for sale at the supermarket check out, corporate sponsored fun-runs, celebrities wearing t-shirts to raise awareness of male cancers. *shhhhh* maybe it'll go away if we don't mention it...thanks for the links. I hadn't seen those before

I've been wrestling with putting my post behind a cut

I'm sorry - I just can't compromise how I feel.

Thank you for challenging me.
