End the Silence, Stop the Violence.

The human race has existed for almost two million years. After various physiological, behavioral, natural changes we have reached the hideousness we call - today. The way of living, eating, hunting, mating, socializing has changed over the years, some for the better mostly for the worse. But ironically what has not changed is the level and situation of domestic violence. Domestic violence is the only thing which is untainted and unadulterated. It does not discriminate on the lines of race, age, religion, gender or sexual orientation. You can be a man, child, woman, teenager, grandma, grandpa, niece, nephew, aunt, uncle, mother, neighbor, teacher, student or the domestic help and you still are exposed to domestic violence in some way. Such is the glorifying beauty of humankind.
Domestic violence is one of the broadest and crudest areas of the disturbed state of human affairs on the lowest level which shows glaring holes left in the wake of nonstop economical development. It has various reasons, states and forms, ranging from chafing issues like dowry, illness, stress and jealously to a badly made sandwich. Abuses of physical, sexual, mental occurring at interpersonal stages occur and continue to rise in the lowest slums to the richest households. When you look at this gruesome issue statistically, it is not a bombshell that males are directly or indirectly connected to the violent domestic incidents. Is it considered as a rite of passage? Taken as a compulsory checkpoint en route to manhood? To go overboard for domination and control and risking the love and care over it is a pretty steep deal. Ever heard of lesbians facing domestic issues except the pantsuits and decor? Beating, harassing, torturing and manipulating just to gain domination just makes us the animals we evolved from initially. Its contradicting that we shirk from physical labor in almost all daily activities and yet go through all the effort to satisfy the urge to control and dominate a woman when all you need is a decent pair of earrings. No lawsuit involved. The wholesome effect of such violence is often overlooked. The state of trauma a victim goes through -be it a child, a woman or Abe Lincoln (yes Mary Todd kicked his ass big-time), has lasting repercussions that creates ripples throughout their living memory and the other connected with them through friends and family. What is disturbing is that this issue is not new, it is as old as the mankind itself, yet the level of precaution and awareness has barely increased with respect to the increase in quantity and degrees of violence in such cases.


But one has to agree that men do have some serious balls! To beat and kick the crap out of a defenseless woman when one rightly placed kick can shut the lights out for them, is one big gamble.

Now you must think woman has always been the victim, that each and every one of them deserves care and protection. Also, that woman is always on the receiving end of these brutal and inhumane acts of sadist insanity. But have you ever been to salons and nail parlors? To stores selling hand-loom and crockery and cosmetics and jewellery and little platform heels ? The sullen zombie look on faces of the men, as their brain drains out from the dull nagging sound is the simplest and crudest form of mental abuse. Look at them closely. Their sadness is chilling. Yes men do commit heinous acts of abuse. But they just break bodies. Women crush souls if they want to. But then, they don’t build up relations first. They don’t beat you up in public in front of your friends.
This issue is not contained by a home or any specific country. Not by a single reason of alcoholism or stress. After all the powerful and political changes the world has seen, relating to the state of the woman, why does the evolution along these lines not affect this particular issue? In a state of absolute comparison, where one man built a tomb for his dead wife and the other whose Wife is in pieces right next to the frozen foods is the 'man'kind evolving or devolving?
