Do male victims have the same rights for self defense as female victims of abuse do? @VstateMFT #vstatemft https://t.co/DoXGFRFpjr

[Cheryl Coleman @csacoleman]

@Abriel_MFT @RedonnoCarmon @VstateMFT I think that it happens more often than we realize, but people aren't aware of facts surrounding that.

[Cheryl Coleman @csacoleman]

@mrmboles @VstateMFT I think I agree with @issyburnham; at the beginning of the scene it seemed like she agreed with it but not at the end

[Cheryl Coleman @csacoleman]

@cvrandopuloMFT @VstateMFT @UNICEF could contribute to abusive behavior.

[Cheryl Coleman @csacoleman]

@cvrandopuloMFT @VstateMFT @UNICEF then you're absolutely going to be an abuser. But it gives us a place to start looking for factors that

[Cheryl Coleman @csacoleman]

@cvrandopuloMFT @VstateMFT @UNICEF I think the key word here is "predictor". They aren't saying that if you've grown up in these conditions

[Cheryl Coleman @csacoleman]

@PeggyHarless @VstateMFT #vstatemft I think it happens more than we look at. I wonder how many resources are out there to teach another way?

[Cheryl Coleman @csacoleman]

@elnewton91 @VstateMFT I think so, yes. Violence is violence, no matter what. How can we offer resources but exclude some? That isn't right

[Cheryl Coleman @csacoleman]

@NdyeMFT @VstateMFT #vstatemft this may sound a bit mushy, but I try and make our relationship an as much of an example of healthy as I can

[Cheryl Coleman @csacoleman]

@cassia_capers @VstateMFT #VstateMFT I completely agree with this statement. I don't see how people don't see the two as equal.

[Cheryl Coleman @csacoleman]

@BevJ_VSU @VstateMFT maybe if victims have called for help before and received none they would be less likely to call again...

[Cheryl Coleman @csacoleman]

@akosborne27 @ElloryBishop @VstateMFT I think it's a great way to give a voice to victims, who are very often silenced in these situations.

[Cheryl Coleman @csacoleman]

@kiaraivory @VstateMFT I think the victim should NEVER be blamed for what happens to them, no matter the situation. No one deserves that.

[Cheryl Coleman @csacoleman]

@jnyingling @VstateMFT And great article! I gained a whole new perspective I had never thought to look at before.

[Cheryl Coleman @csacoleman]

@jnyingling @VstateMFT Do you think it would be helpful for FR units to have in-house therapists and conduct frequent debriefings?
