So, should I not care about Domestic Violence against women because as a man I'm not affected, or harmed, by it?
Even a casual look at the history of minorities in America shows the need for at least strategic concern if not outright action in the face of discrimination. Yes, America is a daily freak show and we fly off the handle about too much, but against something as egregious as this legislation, action is necessary.
