Wow I knew I loved Patrick Stewart for a reason. Makes me love him even more. Telling it like it is when saying the people who can stop violence against women and children are in fact MEN and it is NOT sexist to say that! Men need to take responsibility and be educated about domestic violence and rape, the same amount as women. I've seen men argue so much against this, saying it's sexist, feminist, horrible to say that it's men's responsibility. Well, wake up people. Statistics show that it's more men than women who are abusing and raping. Men need to take part in the fight against domestic violence just as much as women need to also be educated. Everyone needs to work together.

Just as important is to remember that men are ever increasingly the ones who are victims of domestic violence but because they're men being abused by a woman they're taken less seriously and it's a lot harder for them to get help!

Yes that is why everyone needs to work together, both men and women.

I love that he is speaking out for this issue and that they posted into the video the domestic abuse organizations' telephone numbers in the US and UK that can help. Thanks for sharing this!
