Patrick Stewart speaks about Domestic Violence

Even now, a man only has to raise his voice in an angry way around me and it throws me back to feeling like a helpless six year old.
I've worked hard on this stuff. Still working on it.
Mr. Stewart may be an actor, but is a man, like us all. And this man has a talent that everybody should be able to acquier : being able to express his feelings so they can be understood.
Thank Monsieur Bakalex for the friendly suggestion.
I don't want to see my government be more responsible for helping to stop domestic violence.
I don't think that's government's place.
I want to see more of the decent men in this world (which I have in recent years learned that there are more of than there are shit-heads) step up together as they find themselves neighbors or friends of men who beat their wives.
I would have loved to see the men peeking from the windows of their cars or houses, the men standing across the street when I was being abused...step up and beat the living daylights out of my ex. It's something men need to do for other men, I say.
Women can't defend themselves the same way men can (basic physiological differences unless of course the woman has a black belt...) and I like the idea of decent men putting indecent men in their place/teaching them some manners.
But that's just me.
Only I was old enough to defend my self.
Laura, there are some situations that a person cannot in any way defend themselves physically, with out the use of a weapon.
A Black belt:
