      Because I feel the need to express my opinion to ANYONE, especially if their opinion is bad. Women don't get a free pass from this.

      The original tweet asked if men could go 24 hours without mansplaining. Just 24 hours. Now we know the answer. No. They can't.

      What about if women stop disagreeing with men for just 12 hours. Can we do that? Just 12 hours? Even when they're really, really wrong?

      Do you really question domestic violence and how many women get beat up by their significant other daily? Someone is sheltered.

      Not at all. Why would you think I did? Men commit 60% of DV, I know, & because of their strength can do more harm.

      Because this is not a norm. Abusive men are a minority & there is much support to escape them. Much less for men.

          And abusive men control the money so those women can't just leave without any money. They also find them and hurt/kill them for running.

          DV is bad male or female, but don't try to compare the two, or discount DV against women. Do you research, visit shelters.

          DV in general is still not taken very seriously by most of population. It is discounted and ignored often.
