What are you waiting for?
Soooooooooooooooo I just discovered someone decided october is also domestic abuse awareness month in addition to breast cancer awareness month........
First off, i dont mind anyone supporting breast cancer awareness...... as long as you are fully aware that you are actually helping the cause, (not just cuz someone said you are) so make sure that $8 t shirt you bought to support breast cancer awareness is throwing more than 50 cents per shirt for charity, or ur getting ripped off...... financially, and emotionally.
now the big one....... domestic abuse awareness month. let me cover the basics of human interaction outside of a hermit youll never reach anyway, is there someone NOT aware that domestic violence happens AND that its wrong? if so I'd like to meet this person.
the obvious is there, everyone knows, ok, get it? got it? good...... moving on ....... its my humble opinion buying crap for "awareness of this issue" is a domestic abuse all to itself..... not only is everyone already aware of the issue, those that commit such horrid acts, wont give a rip how much money is raised for the victims, as the offenders are genuinely "evil people" and will not be changing their tune anytime soon. so what's the point of buying something to show you care when the proceeds do nothing to raise awareness of the cause? I mean , its not like everyone doesnt already know about it, and those that do know about it, and still do it, dont care..... youre not gonna make them care raising money either. These are just indisputable facts.
That makes raising money for this cause, another abuse...... and a double edged abuse at that...... not only was money taken from your wallet , to do literally nothing, you also get ripped off emotionally. Those that were actually abused get the scar effect of the topic being brought back up in their face, those not previously abused suffer the abuse of having their emotions used against them for someone else to profit.
Its nice and all to support causes, but be fully aware of what you are getting yourself into and why, and dont be ruled by your emotions, abusers prey on emotions way way way way way WAY FAR MORE than domestic abusers actually do physical abuse to thier victims.
Dont perpetuate the cycle!
end rant!
