Dear Men

Using violence against anyone is bad. You attack people when you think you can win, including against other men. You violate based on perceived weakness of others, its a crude way to demonstrate 'power' through brutality. You're predatory not powerful

#StopKillingWomen

Men, your underlying issue is disrespect. You're selective about who you respect while expecting respect from others. You respect other men until you are sure they arent able to harm you, but because women & children are weaker you take your chances hitting them
#StopKillingWomen

Men respect men more than they respect women. You see a women in a public place, you dont ask yourself "would it be improper to disturb her peace", instead you ask "Is she witha man who would feel disrespected if I spoke to HIS women". She has no right to refuse
#StopKillingWomen

You are the ones who tell the women in your life to watch out for the violence and disrespect of other men, because you know men. You know what you do to other women and the stories you laugh with your friends about when they disrespect and violate women.
#StopKillingWomen

It's not so much men, that you only care about violence against women when its YOUR women, it's that you should be the only one allowed to violate the women you believe you are entitled to. It's not protection, it's a turf war. You can beat YOUR woman, he cant
#StopKillingWomen

You also only care about us when the violence is barbaric. We must be dead or maimed to matter. When we tell you about the verbal disrespect you scoff, when we tell you about rape you dont believe us. You tell us he must have a reason and ask what we did wrong
#StopKillingWomen

We must walk away from the men who disrespect us, but you will "discipline" men with your fist for just a disrespectful look because "he must know that there are consequences". You will ignore, defend, deflect the behavior of men if it's not directed at you #StopKillingWomen

Your bro codes will see you defend your boy's violence, turn a blind eye to your fathers cheating and ask women what they did to deserve rape. But you wont use it to do the work of accountibility, telling men when they are wrong and refusing to endorse violence #StopKillingWomen
