RE: 7 Day Positivity Challenge | Day 3 | Being Grateful For My Homeland

We have violence too - I kick photocopiers hahaha

Poor little machine, but it's got the job done - Appreciate that very much, still have to check the book though.

Dude, you have Buttercup, that's one hell of a reason to go for an endless tea meeting.

Domestic violence is a thing here, I see cases everyday on the newspaper, terrible cases - It worries me, in what point in history we've forgot about respect.

However, I do think that it's changing for better, we have Maria da Penha Law - you hit a woman and you are basically fu.. It's sad though that most women here are intimidated at home to not report to the police, most of them don't.

Sort:  

I was listening to a great podcast the other day about raising boys - part of it was telling them it's okay to cry, to acknowledge feelings - bottling it up can lead to aggression and violence later in life as there's just no where for that shit to go. But the problem is it's a bit of a cycle if they're raised in shitty situations themselves.

Yeah, when you told about violence you meant men beating up woman or child violence. I got kinda lost here.

For me both are terrible anyway and it's heavily related to where this people live. I don't know, my parents never needed to raise a hand for us, however, we were lot living in a violent environment ourselves.

We've learned that respecting others was everything in life and never to raise a hand for a woman, instead defend them. Now, imagine teaching this to your kid, but when he goes outside he sees all kinds of shit, it'll not work.
