I have an idea. Accept or reject at your liesure.
Show a video of news casters/Politicians/abuse workers etc., saying domestic abuse only happens to women. Then superimpose a klu klux klan hat on them and make your point that this hate is the same as racism. Hit them were they hurt with their own polically correct doctrine. Then place that video on You Tube. Or, if you would rather not, send it to me and I will post it and take any flak that results. I will even say that I caused the video to be made if that helps. After all, it is my idea. I will even provide the voice over if you feel that is needed. I am not afraid of the “sisters.”
