Patrick Stewart Gives Passionate Response to Question At Comicpalooza 2013

This was my question to Sir Patrick Stewart at Comicpalooza 2013. I wanted to thank Patrick Stewart for his speech at Amnesty International it personally help me put a name to the abuse, sexual abuse in my case, I had experienced in the past. He responded very passionately and the last thing I thought I would get at was a heartfelt hug.

When he embraced me he told me "You never have to go through that again, you're safe now". I just kept thanking him.

I hope everyone who needs help in abusive or violent situations has the courage to do so. There are people willing and ready to help you.

1. Even more magnificent

than Picard.
Thank you, Mr. Stewart.

2. We must work together to

rid our species of relationship violence.

I will be far more hopeful when I see DUers who somehow feel personally challenged during discussions of sexism or misogyny respond with "what can I do to help make a difference?" --instead of "you're hating on ALL men!" or "you're a 'Sister of Blessed Outrage'!"
