@Evraye @VstateMFT MAny have said equally. I think it may be harder for children who share the victim's gender as well. Bad both ways, ofc.

[Nathaniel Powers @NWPowers]

@csacoleman @VstateMFT If we're to consider people 'equal', then I would say yes in matters of self-defense.

[Nathaniel Powers @NWPowers]

@ashleynlanier @VstateMFT My assumption is b/c women are traditionally seen as caregivers, so such crimes create a sense of disbelief.

[Nathaniel Powers @NWPowers]

@Abriel_MFT @VstateMFT higher than we know, and very likely under-reported b/c of the family ramifications of pressing charges

[Nathaniel Powers @NWPowers]

@Lorri_vsumft @RedonnoCarmon @VstateMFT agree with Lorri. most likely overlooked, or considered not to 'count' as rape.

[Nathaniel Powers @NWPowers]

@Abriel_MFT @VstateMFT Probably much higher than reported.

[Nathaniel Powers @NWPowers]

@jwhiteMFTherapy @Abriel_MFT @VstateMFT I'd wager more prevalent than is reported.

[Nathaniel Powers @NWPowers]

@PeggyHarless @alysonkstewart @VstateMFT Ingrained violence. It seems like families 'inherit' behaviors, which prove ill or good.

[Nathaniel Powers @NWPowers]

@Lorri_vsumft @elnewton91 @VstateMFT similar to passively condoning DV based on simple bureaucracy.

[Nathaniel Powers @NWPowers]

@Lorri_vsumft @elnewton91 @VstateMFT Without a doubt. I see no human reason not to provide such a service. To refuse would be ...

[Nathaniel Powers @NWPowers]

@ashleynlanier @amwent87 @VstateMFT also presupposed roles w/in the family, 'ways of being', or 'rule of thumb' logic.

[Nathaniel Powers @NWPowers]

@issyburnham @Lorri_vsumft @VstateMFT I feel like an emphasis on language cannot be avoided in this case. insinuations/gestures/contexts

[Nathaniel Powers @NWPowers]

@ElloryBishop @VstateMFT Thansk for the reply! I'm super curious what role it could play in avoiding risk. Is there no training for this?

[Nathaniel Powers @NWPowers]

@ElloryBishop @VstateMFT enjoyed the transformation narrative from worthless to worthy. strong story in this one.

[Nathaniel Powers @NWPowers]

@ElloryBishop Curious what role defensive awareness could play in prevention?

[Nathaniel Powers @NWPowers]

Interesting article on the vicarious effects trauma stories can have on therapists http://t.co/21crmfktgd #VstateMFT

[Nathaniel Powers @NWPowers]

@elnewton91 @jnyingling @VstateMFT one study said 29% of EMS providers had "symptoms of traumatic stress disorders". many also underreport.

[Nathaniel Powers @NWPowers]

@anoceanaway10 @jnyingling @VstateMFT true. We're so used to military stories, but it's very real in civilian life as well.

[Nathaniel Powers @NWPowers]

@kiaraivory @jnyingling Good question. It very well could prevent them from working in the field at all.

@amwent87 @jnyingling @VstateMFT EAPs - Employee Assistance Programs, but apparently these are often ineffective
