If you read something that says 70% of Americans can't find Libya on a map, do you take it personally?
How about doing something about violence against women rather than feeling sorry for yourself because someone dares to speak about it in public. You aren't the victim. Those dead and abused women are. Get over yourself.
BTW, I didn't make this graphic, but there are hundreds available that document abuse against women. The fact is it's widespread. 1/3 of women are abused by their partners, which makes 1/3 of men abusers. A decent person is outraged that women are subject to that kind of abuse. He doesn't feel sorry for himself because someone dares to talk about it.
I find it astounding that you are so self absorbed your response to the information I disclosed about myself and the statistics in the OP is to feel sorry for yourself. I can't begin to understand the kind of person that thinks only about their perceived persecution rather than real life-threatening and mortal abuse being perpetrated on women around this country. It does, however, help explain what enables that abuse to go on with so little repercussion. These women's lives apparently mean less to you than your bruised ego.
