What would u do if u saw a woman being battered?
Well, I can guess what u ladies would do.
But here's how the rest of the world reacts. Not that this is new knowledge to anyone- I just believe this should get spread around the internet. Like wildfire. Kudos to ABC for covering a topic that most of the world ignores.

The videos are intense to watch and can be a trigger- so be prepared.

just reading the description put me off it.
"Mediocrity knows nothing higher than itself; but talent instantly recognizes genius"--Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
1 in 4 women will be victims of domestic violence. I don't like to talk about my experience with domestic violence, so I won't. I'll just say that it makes me upset that those are the stats.
I'd seen the first video before, but not the second one. It upsets me, and it really puts things into perspective.

tells u the outcomes anyways. It was pretty outraging to watch the second video. In the first, the strangers are almost saint-like. It's a huge issue in my opinion. It symbolizes most of what is wrong about our society's view of women in general, and their "place" in this world. If the women were wearing sexy clothes and being abused, the attitude was "do it somewhere else". If they looked like soccer moms, they were heroically saved. Yup.
