That sounds more like a problem of dropping things than of sheer ignorance.
I didn't actually drop it until well after the fact. I somehow made molten carbon.
Also hi guys.
Hey there. And btw you can make perfectly good instant noodles by just breaking up the block then pouring boiling water from the kettle over it, and leaving it to sit. Then either eat that, or stir-fry it with veggies etc. Way easier and tastier than boiling the crap out of the noodles in a pot.
Well this is the most exciting gossip I've had in ages.
Did he deserve it? How did she win? Who called the cops?
I'm really not comfortable with that sort of language about domestic violence, and neither should you be. Think about whether "she deserved it" would
ever be acceptable. Maybe he cheated on her. Would he deserve it then? What if it was a girl who cheated on the guy? Would he have the right to punch her? People don't have the
right to rip each other's ear off, no matter what the other person did. Just walk away.
And the "he deserved it" thing plays into some fairly toxic (and patriarchal) views of how the world works. Men make up a significant number of DV victims (40% according to british crime surveys).
"Men are stronger than women" is only true in averages. Plenty of women are stronger than most men, and both men and women use violence to control their partners (e.g. look up the DV rate in lesbian couples: it's
higher than in straight couples).
Implying that a significant number of DV victims that they deserved it - but only if they fit the right gender - kinda seems a little ... dickish and sexist. Though I'm sure you didn't mean to do that, but you should be aware that that sort of social narrative plays into keeping around 40% of DV victims silent. The sort of treatment male DV victims of women suffer includes the police and health services
ridiculing them if they complain, having DV hotlines hang up on them or abuse them over the phone.
And it even affects women who seek treatment - there are cases of self-proclaimed female abusers trying to get into Anger Management courses but being denied entry because they're not male and the social services try and convince them that they are the victim and they've "internalized" the blame, whereas male victims who seek treatment are often steered into abuser-treatment programs. Basically the entire field is based on outdated and stereotyped views. Even Erin Pizzey, the woman who created the first women's DV shelter says the DV movement is full of shit on the male victims issue, and she's received
death threats from other feminists for questioning the standard model and pointing out that significant numbers of women resort to domestic violence.
