Gosh. You poor thing. Life for men is _rough_. Did you see how many Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBIs) happen in the NFL each year? 281! And way more in the military each year: 18,000!!
Wanna guess how many women have TBIs each year because their violent partner beat them up?

1,600,000.
Yep, 1,600,000 TBIs for women each year from intimate partner violence (IPV). (Link below.)
Wanna guess how many of those 1,600,000 women experience repetitive (meaning multiple) TBIs from Intimate Partner Violence?

All of them. All 1,600,000.
It's weird because I swear there are whole movies about TBIs in the NFL, but the article I linked, which came out April 8 of this year, is the first time I've _ever_ heard TBIs mentioned in reference to women.

But sure, our society never ignores things that are hard for women in order to make life easier for men.
More fun facts while we're here: Nearly 1 in 3 women age 15 or older will experience physical or sexual IPV. And it occurs in all settings, amongst all socioeconomic, religious and cultural groups.
It's so fun to be woman!
