The same way that racism is a white person's problem, violence against women is a men's problem.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Calling gender violence a women's issue is part of the problem. It gives a lot of men an excuse not to pay attention.
I say stupid white men are always the problem. That's never going to change.
All women's issues are to some degree men's issues and all men's issues are to some degree women's issues because when either sex wins unilaterally both sexes lose.
Men are distinguished from women by their commitment to do violence rather than to be victimized by it.
There's sort of a persistent misperception that talking about race is black folk's burden. Ultimately, only men can end sexism, and only white people can end racism.
All issues are women's issues - and there are several that are just women's business.
Racism is man's gravest threat to man - the maximum of hatred for a minimum of reason.
Most male victims of violence are the victims of other men's violence. So that's something that both women and men have in common. We are both victims of men's violence.
The military has been actually remarkable at dealing with race, but gender is an issue.
For blacks in our society, victimization may be a true issue. But it isn't a true issue for women. Neither men nor women are victimized. The true issue, that I try to point out, is that both sexes suffer restricted roles.
