Rahm Emanuel co-forms Men's Alliance to End Domestic Violence

.. this is awesome! finally someone's sayin' that men gotta step up & take action against domestic violence it's not just a women's thing, it's like, family stuff you know? i mean, one in four women get physical violence from their bf/gf, and one in seven men do too... it's crazy! Emanuel's right, if you're a son or brother or uncle, you gotta be all about supporting the people around you & not just lookin' the other way when things go down. i love that the Men's Alliance is tryin' to educate guys on how to recognize harmful behaviors in relationships & support survivors... it's time for men to speak out & talk to each other about healthy relationships

I'm so down with Rahm Emanuel's new initiative ! It's time we guys step up and take action against domestic violence. I mean, it's not just about women, it's about our families and communities too. I've got a buddy who was in a situation like that and let me tell you, it's super isolating for the victims. We need to create a safe space for them to talk about it and get help. Men's Alliance is exactly what we need - education, support, and accountability. Let's make sure our bros are aware of the signs and how to be good partners

I think it's super cool that Rahm Emanuel is finally bringing attention to this really important issue, but I'm also kinda frustrated that it took him so long to step up . I mean, we've known about the devastating effects of domestic violence for ages, and yet it still seems like a huge problem that nobody wants to tackle .

What I love about his message though is that he's not just blaming men for being passive or weak – he's actually calling on them to be proactive and support their loved ones . And WINGS' emphasis on educating men about healthy relationships is a game-changer, because let's face it, most of us learn these skills from our dads or older brothers, so if they didn't pick up the right stuff, we're stuck with some pretty bad habits .

Anyway, I'm all for this initiative and I hope more guys start talking about their feelings and being there for each other . Maybe it's time to rewire those toxic masculine norms that say you need to be tough or stoic in relationships?

men are often expected to be strong, but that strength can sometimes manifest as toxicity. it's time for us to redefine what it means to be a man and how we show vulnerability. taking action against domestic violence requires more than just awareness - it demands empathy & understanding
