It was one of twenty posted in a small college in 2008 and discontinued shortly after.

You're angry because you're easy to manipulate, at least on this topic.
They know their audience.
No I’m not easy to manipulate. I’m angry because men usually get labeled the aggressor and that is not always the case. I was mentally abused by a previous wife for many years. Men of my gen were taught very early on that WE are the strong ones and that women are frail and not capable of this behavior. If we’re abused it’s because we are weak.
In this poster the women COULD the aggressor but it was perfectly acceptable to just ASSUME it was the man. Women are just as capable of being evil.
There are so many people that need to hear and understand this, but a person who's easily manipulated is a person who's not easily convinced that they're being manipulated.
On the other hand, it's far too easy to dismiss someone's concerns over them being easily manipulated rather than finding out that maybe they're coming from somewhere more well thought out, that just happens to come to the same conclusion...
