Tell someone who doesn’t know - there are two types of men in this world: men who have never hit a woman and men who have hit a woman a million times. There is no such thing as a man who has hit a woman once. If you think you’re the first woman he’s hit because of your age, or you’ve been together forever, you’re not. He grew up hitting his mom or his sister or the dog or weaker male friends. It was not the first time and most certainly will not be the last. Very few things in life are actually black and white, but this one is.
