Are You Violent?
 

Have you ever:

1. Yelled or sworn at your partner?
2. Restrained her against her will?
3. Threatened, patronized, or been sarcastic toward her?
4. Humiliated her in private or public?
5. Taken her car keys or money away?
6. Thrown, hit, sabotaged or destroyed things close to her?
7. Pushed, shoved, or slapped her?
8. Pulled her hair, kicked, burned or choked her?
9. Threatened to commit suicide if she leaves you? .

If you answered yes to one or more of these questions, your actions are abusive toward your partner and may constitute Domestic Violence. If so, you may be breaking the law and could go to jail.

You are not alone!

Our society teaches us to believe that to be a man you need to be tough, dominant, extremely competitive, repress empathy, and believe that you are superior to women.

This belief system is the root cause of men's violence towards women and children.

It doesn't have to be this way.

Let’s Beat the Punch.

Together.
