I don’t care if they drink too much, didn’t have enough unconditional love as a child, have a deep well of shame driving their behavior, have a personality disorder or trauma-abusers choose to abuse. Period. End of story. They must be held accountable.

Today in doctoral world…we’re learning about #professionalknowledgemanagement. I’d love to connect with others working in the #restorativejustice space, specifically in #circlesofpeace with DV offenders. #genderbasedviolence #domesticviolence

Literally no one is complaining about virtuous masculinity.

There’s no war against work boots or Carhartts or men who put in long hours doing grunt work to provide for their families. No one is staging protests against forklifts or calloused hands or hairy chests or bulging biceps.

It’s not masculinity that’s under attack; it’s the abuse of power that too often accompanies it.

Virtuous masculinity is still in high demand. And the best men I know don’t run scared of wounded women crying for justice.

[KRJ @krjDSW25]

@T_TheTherapist Hands down the latter.

@egerphd Sidebar idea…our organization facilitates a domestic violence offender group for those who identify as LGBTQI if you’re at any point interested in a guest lecture…

[KRJ @krjDSW25]

A question for the public and those in the field…if you work in #restorativejustice - who do you turn to for professional advice?

[KRJ @krjDSW25]

Here is where we are. #america

[Tracy Rector @TracyRector1]

Thank you, ⁦⁦@jacksonkatz⁩ , for this dynamic ⁦@TEDx⁩ talk on #genderbasedviolence. We do need ALL men to speak up in every situation against this part of our culture. Bravo! Jackson Katz: Violence against women -- it's a men's issue https://t.co/ule1YWtXsH

History can be self taught. Here ya go. You didn’t learn about this in school. Research is so easy now. Do yourself a favor & learn about something that our leadership hid from you. Think about that. Hid. From. Us. #TulsaMasacre1921 go to YouTube & watch #Greenwood13hours

[KRJ @krjDSW25]

@TracieDSW2025 That’s so great! I had no idea.

[KRJ @krjDSW25]

Does anybody ever wonder what happened to Clippy, the #microsoftword helpful paper clip? Like where is he now? Where does he live? Did he get laid off?

[Tracy Rector @TracyRector1]

This. My abuser was a powerful & beloved pastor of a parish of 10,000!! Who do you think they believed, rallied behind versus who they vilified and condemned? You’re probably right. But I persevered and got out.

@ask_aubry Next time Maga Michelle has surgery, I’m sure she won’t mind if the physicians are maskless in the OR.

[KRJ @krjDSW25]

@DrBlackDeer Mediocre monologue.

[KRJ @krjDSW25]

@AndrewCicchett1 Pee-wee’s Playhouse!

[KRJ @krjDSW25]

Let’s talk #restorativejustice in #genderedviolence…. If research studies indicate a reduction in recidivism AND increased victim safety, why is this not a more common intervention?

[KRJ @krjDSW25]

Those folks who work as #bipp facilitators or do #duluth work in #ipv, have you worked at all with #restorativejustice #circlesofpeace? Thoughts? Feelings?

[KRJ @krjDSW25]

@WillieETCarver @HRC 🙂❤️

[KRJ @krjDSW25]

@WillieETCarver Maybe donate to @HRC ?

The abuser has 100% of the blame. 100% of the time.
