- YetAnotherNick 3y agoThe world swings and the things which looks like abuse changes. And it's not like people are not dying due to their norms. We need to change their norm from within.
- etchalon 3y agoI don't think what looks like abuse changes. I think what abuse we're OK with changes. Domestic abuse was always abuse. It always looked like abuse. We always knew it was abuse. But, for a very, very long time, society was totally cool with it.
- jrflowers 3y agoThis is very wise. The first step to changing the norm from within is to acknowledge that the norm cannot be bad because it is the norm, as the most powerful position of change is to say that nothing worth changing should be changed if it is somewhat common
