What are you doing to prevent DV? (Not a challenge, I'm genuinely curious if you're part of any efforts)

There's a difference between prevention and punishment. I believe people who kill their spouse (or attempt to on multiple occasions) should be imprisoned for life.
Men don't have to have male friends to not be lonely. Any friends will do. I have lots of great female friends.
As far as solving domestic violence, I don't know how to do that. But I think we can all agree that we want it to end. Probably even the perpetrators of DV want it to end.
Maybe a big part of it is finding those who are most likely to be perpetrators and try to understand them better. And help them better understand themselves.
She's a loose cannon. I love it!
I think many are quick to colour all men with the same brush when any man does something bad (murder, domestic violence, etc). This ignores the fact that most men aren't doing this and are helpless to stop it. It's not like we're choosing to let domestic violence to continue. We're just as powerless as anyone else.
And there's a real focus on the worst of men's behaviour, without any appreciation of the good things men do, to balance it out.
All men are flawed, just like all women are flawed (except my Mrs). We're all a mix of good and bad, trying to do our best.
I liked the Johann Hari interview
I hate Joe Rogan, but occasionally he has interesting guests on, and I'm forced to tolerate him for a bit.
I was thinking a social media app without Americans sounds wonderful.
Go to a climbing gym. "I think I left my drink bottle here last week. It was clear, about this size". Worker pulls out a box of lost and found drink bottles. "Oh, that is it there". Take a dusty one (so you know it's been there a while, and nobody's coming back for it). Now you have a new drink bottle! Give it a clean and go!
I have a recurring dream where I have trouble typing into my phone keyboard. Whatever I do, the text just won't get in there. Sometimes it's urgent. Other times I'm trying to show someone something and they're watching me fail.
Small sample size. Hard to draw conclusions. Let's end our disagreement here. All the best
Your book looks like an American thing. I try not to consume too much yank media. I read "See what you made me do" by Jess Hill a few years ago. Is it significantly different to that?
